    If we ever did drop out of the football league, would we have to go like Semi-Pro?

    I'm not worried about that just yet ahahaha, but I am wondering if that would happen to us going Semi-Pro if we dropped out? Could we maintain Valley Parade status if we went Semi-Pro ? Final question, would you be willing to drop out of the football league if it got rid of Rupp for a quick sale to someone who actually cares about the club? :p

    Don't take this thread as me giving up completely ahahahaha, just curious as to what happens when a pro team like Bradford City drops out of the football league. I know when I worked at Stockport County, I lost my part time job when they dropped out, not as much demand for turnstile operators due to a lower crowd ahahahahaha. At first they did get lower crowds but that place has been buzzing again for years. Not that I'll be looking for a job as a turnstile operator again, it was good when I was younger for a wee bit of pocket money, free game of footy and coming to join the City away fans with my staff pass in the away end when City came to town. :p

    I know we'd be the first ever "Premier" League team to do it according to my Dad, I know old 1st Division teams have probably dropped out before, but he said it would be a disaster and something that we would carry around with us.

    I ask because I look at like BT Sport coverage of the National League and it's one of the things that keeps me watching BT Sport is the National League coverage (Also the Italian football), but I've also been told before the BT Sport coverage payments to National League teams isn't good.

    Is there such a thing as semi pro? You either pay your players or don't

    As for VP only way we could stay would be for either the owners of the club cover the cost themself or the ground owners waive the rent

    No, we wouldn't automatically become part time team if we dropped to none league. A majority of the Vanarama league at professional clubs these days, even a few in the 6th tiers are full time clubs.

    Think it just means that they get paid for what they do, they just don't do it full time.

    Training a couple of times a week.

    Would they have to drop to down to training at a primary school? Asking for a 'friend'.

    They'd be scouring Yorkshire for a now disused Middle School is my guess, mate.

    Leave Valley Parade and move to Scotchman Road if Adams is still here.
