    I'd hazard a guess of they might be if no income has been generated for a while or maybe our owner is true to his word and is actually financing us going forward till we get back to some normality.

    I get the no income bit but I’ve not seen any evidence that our owner isn’t funding us which would be the only time we would need to put the begging bowl out.

    My point is , if the owner was not going to fund the club he would have walked by now . The fact he's still in place suggets to me he wouldn't leave the club in the lurch .

    But you still have to pay to get the entertainment from them both and not just leave it to one person for it to survive that is the point I'm trying to get across.

    I wouldn't be so sure. The impact of COVID 19 could be a game changer in terms of his appetite to stick around. Other than the money he used to purchase the club (which is admittedly significant) any money he's put in sense, he's had back through sell on's etc. I don't think he'll continue to keep putting money in.

    'Actually if the BBC stopped broadcasting just said, that is it we are not transmitting anything anymore, then we would have a fair argument that there is no need for a 'licence fee'. Bit of a poor choice there.

    Getting back to Bradford City. If they had pushed and pushed to have the season complete, even if it was to be behind closed doors but we could watch via a stream then I might, might, have some sympathy but they were steadfastly against continuing the season so, for me, they owe me a refund.

    And... I just don't buy the argument that the season ticket doesn't state how many games it covers. There club advertised 23 home league games. Although the small print within the season ticket terms may not specifically mention 23 games there is an implicit understanding that this is what was being purchased. Any attempt to hide behind the small print will simply alienate people.

    Simple choice. Offer a refund, vouchers for club shop, money off next seasons tickets, charitable donation (to whichever charity BCFC is aligned to) or allow BCFC to keep the money.

    Doing this would be the honourable thing to do and would lift them up in my estimation.

    We are due another payment on the McBurnie deal once they avoid relegation not sure how much , but it should put us in a slightly better financial position than most in Lge 2. ( i hope )

    They're still pretty similar.

    Both have B & C initials, for example.

    But there's more.

    Both are British.

    And both exist.
