Am the same . Realistically shouldn’t the club be looking to refund these and start again ?

 

I agree some won't like it, but they'll probably be the same ones that will be grumbling next year when the playing budget is cut due to a loss in club income.

 

How is it a different kind of bill to a season ticket? It's a different way of watching the game I'll give you that, but if you normally buy a season ticket anyway, how is it any different to that? You are still paying out the same amount, the only difference is in the way you are using it.

 

Care to elaborate?

 

Right, well if it's going to be as much of a waste of time as you say it is, I guess it's best they just don't show the games at all then eh? I'm sure the club will manage just fine without the income.

 

I could be wrong but I think @king karl was saying for £80 & a box/fire stick you can get all City games and others from our league plus the extras like Sky, BT, Disney, Netfix, box sets and much more I'm told .
Plus I just pay for an upgrade being a 25 year so for me and my grandson to sit together we have to pay for a season ticket plus the suite hospitality.
Good luck to who ever's is trying to sort this out and being fair to supporters.

 

Why do you keep saying the same old things @Fordy117 why should over 70's be excluded?

 

No problem mate if it means me having to pay full even if we cant attend games, us Braford City fans cant grumble we've had it very cheap since 2004 I believe.
I get the arguement that some put forward its Stefans business and he should meet the ongoings of whatever it costs.
I'm lucky our major outgoings are paid for so if that's what I need to do to get MY SEAT I'm prepared to pay it. .

 

So you critise the government saying they don't do this they should do that then actually admit you do your own thing anyway so what you mean is as long as it doesn't affect you you don't give a toss but I'll spout what they should be doing ... Classic fordy

 

I was sympathising mate, as you say you could of chosen "better", as could I given that Spurs and Arsenal were relatively easy to get to, however I got stuck with a life long WH grandfather.

 

he is here for the countdown action

 

Jeez Fordy, I'm sorry mate. I had no idea you were the one that has been tasked with getting the economy back up and running, and that you are expected to pay for it all out of your own pocket! Good luck pal.

 

Maybe we should open a just giving page for him to help him with new buckets and chamois leathers.

 

Yes I expect at clubs up and down the country will be out of pocket this season due to that, it’s bad but I can’t see how every club survives this I’m expecting casualties.

 

There is usually 6 or 7 of us that go as a group, mostly family. We would all just go watch it in the pub together. If the pub isn't an option we would all just gather round one house and bring a crate of beer each. I know I wouldn't be prepared to pay ifollow and sit and watch it at home by myself, I tried that once and was so bored I turned off halfway through.

 

Without doubt there will be some, but having watch football since its return even with very good sound effects it's not the way I would watch Bradford City, but then again after 60+ years I'm too old to change my ways.

 

Reading the Mansfield statement clearly a tie up with Ifollow to stream all matches is in place. City will by now know how things will work. Crowds have to be part of the new season as soon as possible otherwise there is a serious question mark on whether clubs will ever complete the 20/21 season at this level and below.

If City sold 8000 season tickets on the back of a mix of Ifollow; an initial rota and then full access to the stadium at the end of the year. I suspect most would get in with social distancing and at the "rota stage" as 8000 is a third capacity. Also you have to take into account that there are a good number that would choose not to go; or cannot because they are in the vulnerable groups or have simply lost interest in City ?

I put myself in the later category; the only thing tying me to it is Stuart. Without his presence i would simply be consigning 20/21 to a socially distanced brief. I agree with others sat there on a Saturday watching a dodgy internet Ifollow stream is not my idea of watching football. It is more than just the game. Even if I had Ifollow I would only end up going round to my brothers and watching it there with them. Thats what the game experience is about watching and debating with others. Not sat there like on your todd in front of a screen buffering for grim death ! So why would I pay for a season ticket to watch it on my own ?

If its about watching it on screen to start with I would be far far better off slinging my £150 ? at Sky Sports and at least having a decent reception and the best football to watch. Why do I want to watch City playing park football with Barrow; Harrogate & Salford. When I can watch Leeds taking shots at Man U; Man C and Liverpool for my money ? Its not a difficult decision given how very tenuous the value will be in a 20/21 City season ticket ?

I probably would be prepared to chuck £50 at a limited membership that keeps my name on my regular seat for 21/22. I feel given the past 25 years sat in it I have a right to that. But as I say stumping up £150-200 or more ? juat does not seem to make a lot of sense; other than just because it "helps the club"

I am sure Ryan Sparks & Co are working to try and come up with something to suit ? But at the end of the day; its going to be about what value you; I and the next person place on that in these challenging times. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. But I cannot deny that after initially being adamant I wanted to return as soon as. I have tempered it somewhat and to be honest a 20/21 season spent "socially distanced" from Bradford City does hold appeal on a number of levels.
