    @Fordy117@Fordy117 at what point do you get tested for a saturday game though for example?

    A test on tells you if you had/have covid at the time of the test doesnt it. I can be tested wednesday and catch it friday yet still get a text or whatever to say my test was negative which would then allow me to attend the game, potentially putting others at risk.

    I get what you are saying, however relying on testing to attend events isnt without drawbacks

    Your point is an excellent one which appears to be lost on at least one poster on here. In reality it's even worse than you suggest. Over 1,000,000 fans attend the games on a typical weekend in normal times. Even ignoring the considerable cost involved, heaven knows how the public health system could cope with so many tests and analyses on top of priority testing in hospitals, care homes, the track & trace arrangements and so on. As you infer, it's pi$$ing in the wind to expect football to be somehow treated as a special case when there are so many more important issues.

    What statement? They said there will be no entry to the grounds until rules allow, and that fans can watch the games on ifollow whilst that is the case.

    What statement is required as nothing has changed?

    Cry me a river premier league. The turnstile income from premier league games is pocket change compared to the TV deals. The majority of that loss will come from the failed Chinese broadcasting.

    Lets get this right the Premier League does not rely on gate income to continue, and no one force clubs to pay out hundreds of pounds a week on wages. The lower leagues however rely 80% on matchday tickets and sales and will go under.

    For people who have purchased season tickets check the purchase history on your ticket account as it says where you're sitting and if your claret or amber

    I said same as you, wouldnt it be great to get 10,000+ what we have to take into consideration is this forum only reflects a small amount of Bradford City season ticket holders.

    In fairness, those numbers came from 2017/18 when the three clubs were in the PL. Their wages bill dropped signifcantly when they were relegated to the Championship ... to around the £50mill mark! And of course, they were also receiving parachute payments to help fund their wages bill.

    Town was also in the PL in 2017/18

    Can't help thinking a couple of signings might have helped.

    That’s fantastic news as it means everyone who wants to go to all the home games can do so instead of this stupid half / half bullshit

    I think we will pass 10,000 after Sunday’s deadline which is very good when you may have to watch half the games on an I pad. There also only doing renewals so no new potential season ticket holders can sign up.

    So we have now reached 7000 season tickets sold
    Everyone who has bought one as of now should be allowed in to valley parade when safe to do so
    City should scrap claret and banter if we sell less than 8000
    Season ticket holders take priority
