    Under the circumstances And taking into account there is no flexi tickets this year that is a very good total

    Because I needed to change a surname on one ticket and my grandson was in the wrong age group. No way of doing it online.
    I emailed Mick Lamb and a charming young lady phoned me up and sorted it all out for me.
    Credit where credits due.

    If the club was run as well as the ticket office we would be watching Championship football not 2nd division dross,

    That's just madness!

    And once the ground opens even on a restricted basis, we'll all be mixing with some of those idiots who have shown no respect for the need to social distance. I can fully understand why some fans won't be watching football in VP even when we are allowed back in.

    I'm sceptical. With severe pressure on Covid testing facilities around the country, with Govt now telling people not to go for a test without showing the symptoms, with the Govt about to start prioritising testing facilities for the most needy, with the flu season just around the corner, with the Govt now having promised that all care sector works can at long last have the regular testing they were promised some time ago, with the continuing need to protect NHS patients and staff, with the inevitable spike from kids and students returning to schools and unis, with the PM at long last admitting there are deficiencies in the testing regime, do you really believe the Govt will prioritise 1,000,000 football fans having a covid test every week so they can watch their footie team when there are other alternatives not involving testing? I have my doubts!

    Some of those numbers are absolutely crazy. 3 clubs spending over 90m a year! Also shows just how good of a job is being done at Brentford.
    Look at Huddersfield too and I bet their academy costs 3 times what our first team costs to run each year. The gulf in finances is worth pointing out after some of the comments after our pre-season game.

    Except it wasn't always the case. I bought my season ticket as soon as they went on sale, before all of this malarkey started. I am happy to accept that things are beyond City's control, however the least I can expect is that I will get access to ifollow for all the home league matches. If fans are allowed back in, I don't want to find that because I am allocated a seat in the lower part of the T L Dallas stand next to Charlie that the ifollow option is removed!

    Myself and the family made the difficult decision and have not renewed our STs for this season. Yesterday I traveled over to Bradford with Mrs Rocket . It was apparent people where not adhering to lockdown ruling. Oastler Market was disgusting people not following ruling just ourselves and a couple of others with masks on. My grandson is a primary school teacher within inner city Bradford , he has been helping out at school during the lockdown preparing for the kids returning. Yesterday the parents did not follow guidelines. Unfortunately this is Bradford and I am tending to agree with Fordy regarding his comments . With a lot of sadness I will not be returning to Bradford Centre for a while a.

    I totally agree it’s a bargain for several family members. Point being that as paid up season ticket holders, it would be immoral to ask us to pay any extra.

    There are loads on here who don’t live in Bradford and don’t even have a BD postcode.

    Maybe we should stop the 18-30 years attending and let all the coffin dodgers attend VP. Possibly be a safer environment...

    Let's be honest here, the choice we had was a disaster whatever the outcome. Let's not pretend that a Momentum steered Labour Party Leader would be anything better than the dross we have now.

    If any of that lot were working with me I would be extremely pissed off.

    They are thick as feck for posting themselves on the internet and social media, breaking the lockdown.

    I don't think that ifollow should be used in a commercial manor either.

    I think a lot will renew with no intention of actually going,certainly not while there are so many restrictions in place.I think the ifollow pass was the clincher for many.

    Always found the ticket office to be helpful, went out of their way for me last season with helping me pay for some tickets that i couldn't get down to the office to pay for.

    You know, anything remotely positive is frowned upon.

    Realistically, even ignoring the Covid restrictions and people who have lost their jobs or are uncertain about the future, after a couple of years of dreadful football, yet another transfer window that so far even Greg Abbot would describe as a shambles, and matches against Harrogate, Barrow, FGR and so on, how many new season ticket holders were we going to attract?
    There’s hundreds, maybe thousands who have looked at the shite football, poor recruitment and said, feck it, I’ve not missed it, I’m not renewing. I don’t think it would have been as bad without Covid and people getting used to a Saturday not at the football, but the two combined have given the club a nightmare, low sales AND low prices. They’re stumped, can’t up the prices significantly without even more not renewing. That’s why despite their protestations I think they’re rubbing their hands at a salary cap.
