    As the owner isn’t putting money into n is down to him and his team that we are going to have a decent budget with deals like the upcoming new kit partner

    From a £800,000 loss the previous season to break even this season isn't a bad start, fans will read into his recent interview as they may I thought it was an honest review of the last 18 months or so, seems there is plenty going on behind the scenes that we fans know little about.

    Remember going on the train as a teenager.
    What a crush on Halifax Station on the way home, thought I was going to have the life squeezed out of me trying to get on.
    Still get chills even thinking about it.

    You get chills?
    Are they multiplying?
    Are you losing control?

    Just seen this on Twitter. Brilliant gesture from Ryan Sparks, I don't think anyone can question if his heart is in the right place. Simple gestures like this can go a long way and I'm sure the kid will remember this for a long time.

    On the footballing side of things, he needs to do better and stick to his promises. Outside of that, he seems like a decent guy to be fair!

    Yes, I did mate. That was extremely good of him.

    Told you when the club deserves praise then I will gladly give them or a individual some.

    Enjoy your brandy. Hope its not the cheap stuff.

    Well I bet Ryan is in BRI if he's read or knows that I have praised him lol When he recovers he will be on the rum for sure at home to help him get over the shock.

    I think Ryan , came to the job a little early and had captain cautious as his mentor. I am sure he has learnt more this past two years than all the rest put together.
    I think his heart is in the right place and isn't he a Bradford lad as well.
    I think we will benefit in the long run. Short term pain for long term gain.
