    Would a season in the National League be worth it if it forced the hierarchy of Bradford City out? It would be a disaster for them but I'm not so sure for the club in the long run. It could be the resest this club needs.

    Bonkers idea to even think it.

    It took Wrexham about 14 years and a very wealthy Hollywood duo backing them to get back.

    There is only one way we should be thinking of getting out of league 2 and its the opposite of down

    No wonder you're Home Alone. Just read your only 5 posts and even I feel depressed. You need to cheer up and get out a bit more.

    No!!

    We'd need to win the division to get back up, given the play offs involve not 4 but 6 teams - and when was the last time we won the league??

    What are you talking about!!! Look what relegation did for BPA and Bulls. Support drains away and left with nothing. The point is well made with Wrexham then look at such as Oldham, Hartlepool Aldershot all had millions put in but no guarantee of getting back and given the City of Bradford state of things I would fear the Club disappearance

    We're making a pretty good fist of it.

    No mate. We would lose against the top ten at this moment in time.

    They’re the exception that proves the rule. Relegation could be disastrous and is definitely to be avoided.

    Whether we want it or not, it’s becoming a distinct possibility. Mr Invisible and The Child King have lost total control of this club (not that they had much in the first place).

    But don’t watch Bradford City. It won’t help you

    You always know how poorly we are doing when the "should we take a relegation" posts come out.

    And the answer is categorically no.

    Why hasn’t another team thought of this.

    Relegation
    Disinterested owner fu@ks off
    Immediate promotion

    Can’t see any flaws in this plan at all.

    Jesus wept.... too early for this level of nonsense.

    If we went down to NL, the loss of money might just nearly end us. Cant imagine that near half a million a season stadium rent will be do-able in NL when the crowds and sponsorship drops. And, what's the assumption we will go down and win? Look at our records against the Barrow & Harrogate types in L2, nothing to say we can drop and turnover small teams.

    The only reset needed is for us to have an interested owner. Then the top may just be able to tell where things are going wrong beneath them. Rupp out!

    There are even more tin pot clubs we don't even get to play because they're in the divisions above us!

    If only we could earn the right to hear that daft seaside ditty at Fleetwood, buy a beer at Burton, or face off against the might bloody Lincoln...

    Even Carlisle are long gone...

    ... Well that's depressed me.

    But yeah. Not beating Dorking would be a massive improvement I'm sure lol
