Meeting between clubs and the EFL to discuss iFollow is scheduled for this Friday.

 

You know what we shoild do ? Scrap this Claret & Amber idea. Its going to cause more problems than not. On the clear evidence we will be lucky to shift 8000 tickets. Interest plummeted in the team; the stadium is slap bang in Covid Central and many of us will be thinking twice about stepping back down there. For me I havent put a foot in Bradfird for nigh on 6 months !. I've been in Scunthorpe more often ! and thats once to the only UK Speedway fixture since March !.

So scrap Claret & Amber and just sell season tickets first come first served. If I miss out I"m not going to kick up any fuss. I have already written off this season anyway. If and when we all go back all I ask is that my regular seat is there for me to take up. Always assuming the club has not folded which of course it could I suppose ?

I honestly do not think we will sell more than 7-8000 on a fcfs basis so that should allow all those who want to go back in October to attend most home games. See one miss one is just adding another layer of uneccessary hassle. Sell them till we hit the new limit and then rest of us just social distance from City until better times. Should be plenty of Covid zombie land football on TV or simply support a club at Tier 7 or below. Steeton here I come at lesst it should look more like football and a whole lot less hassle. Good luck to everyone.

 

It's league 2 mate, they're all shite teams!

 

Of course that applies to every club in the football league and beyond. Maybe not the PL though.

So your flawed logic is that every football fan should not buy a season ticket because the owners don't need the money.

That of course would see the end of football in this country. Is that what you really want?

Or are you saying we buy matchday tickets instead giving even more money to the owners or are you saying don't go at all?

You seem confused in what you want to achieve. What is the master plan in your mind?

Most on this forum have an affinity with Bradford City that goes deeper than just money. Its not a business but a pastime. It has never been a business nor have I ever looked at it as a business.

 

I find it quite ironic that the person on here that moans the most about season tickets being far too cheap isn't prepared to fork out the paltry amount of £150 to help out the club he allegedly supports at a difficult time.

 

Where's our well renowned, jet-setting international businessman that is @Fordy117? Business opportunity for him...

 

Renewed mine back in January so expect to be in the first priority back and at least a seat next to Stuart (social distance of course)

 

Some households have multiple season ticket holders, but in theory would only need ifollow pass for them all to watch.

 

True, that's why it needs to be linked into actual season tickets - you still get allocated your normal seat in the stadium, but if you don't buy one and watch via someone else's subscription, you lose your seat.

 

If you bought a season ticket you would go to the games wouldn't you?
The only difference is your not going to travel to the ground plus how many don't turn up in the winter months but if they have it on the TV they don't worry about the weather.

 

I would have no interest in buying a season ticket if it was for Ifollow only. It would be like watching a training session every Saturday.

You cannot compare the normal matchday routine, including wrapping up to sit in the freezing cold, to sat at home watching on a screen.

If we are not allowed in next season, it will be the wireless for me, assuming Radio Leeds will broadcast matches, that way I cannot see the empty stadium.

 

Just don't tell @SimonW

 

It's all about following your team, if I'd wanted to follow a more sucsefull team I would have done hat years ago, you have to take the few good times with the many bad times.

 

Spot on Wilsden. Armchair fans who 'support' Liverpool or Man Utd, can never understand the feeling or emotion watching your team play live and the pre match rituals

I have watched less and less football on tv as the years go by . I much prefer watching cricket on tv actually

 

I have no real interest in watching football on TV, it bores me rigid. Even when the away games are on ifollow I find myself switching on and off. Until fans are safely allowed back in I'll listen on the radio while doing something else.

 

I do understand it. there are two elements to a connection to a team.

There is the emotional connection with Bradford City and there is an interest in football outside of Valley Parade.

I am a Bradford City supporter. Wherever I have lived in the UK and around the world when asked who I support I say 'Bradford City'. But I have spent season where I have decided to watch other teams, either because I have lived there, or simply because I am also interested in football overall.

Leeds is a bit to close to the bone. I could never bring myself to go to Elland Road ever (I have never seen Leeds play live, have never set foot in Elland Road and fully intend for it to remain that way for as long as I last.)

However, I have been a regular at Fulham, Spurs, West Ham (late 70's), Burnley, Manchester Utd (early 80'S), Portsmouth, Plymouth (mid 70')and I was a season ticket holder at Luton Town during their League One/Premiership days in the mid 80's and early 90's.

My point being I have no problem with people deciding they want to see something else and taking a break from Bradford.

 

Which for many is a massive part of attending a game.

 

Their trying to make the best of a bad job, the no food or beer is not a problem for me, not bought any thing in the ground for years, the price and quality is poor.

 

Not sure you are fully getting this social distancing lark Park.....

 

I got an email from i follow saying that my subscription would be auto renewed on Sept.1st,cost £45.I assume this would be for the same package as last year,ie,live commentry of all EFL league and cup games,and video highlights a couple of days later.With all the restrictions that are going to be in place,plus the fact that i am well into my 70s,i think this will probably be about right for me next season,i really dont fancy going to VP at the present time.
