As Bill Pullman said,
"We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on! We're going to survive!"

 

I don't understand what you mean?....its quite simple really. If we sell our ST's at roughly the same as every other club down the bottom 2 divisions we have X budget. We sell 12/13k at reduced price the budget is still X...unless i'm missing something. More people around the ground spending. It makes even MORE sense now we'll be back in league 2.

Its not a "rod", its a clever piece of marketing....also....would you rather be surrounded by City fans or empty seats?...i know which i prefer.

 

Impressive. I also thought there would have been more flexis amongst that number

 

Are you just paying for yourself Fordy or several midgets? Do you attend games?

I pay for 4 people so can't afford £1000 plus the numerous away trips that we do. Sorry I think it's all about getting bums on seats and creating atmosphere...like Oxford...

 

The average EU tariff on UK food imported from outside the EU is 22%.This is a tax that even the UK's poorest have to pay that is sent off for Brussels to play with. You can't vote to change this because the EU Commission are unelected. This tax gets abolished if we leave the EU under WTO rules and you can then vote for British politicians who decide whether or not to continue taxing the poor to benefit the rich in this way.

City are better off with cheaper tickets and more bums on seats. Mark Lawn repeatedly said the not-ticket revenues that were proportional to attendance made it so. This season, we increased prices and saw attendances drop and matchday kiosks close. I can't believe that I'm reading that some fans want more of this.

Tea drinkers not hard-core fans? It was mostly tea drinkers putting money into the club at this season's FA cup ties.

 

Brilliant price
2 pay days is enough for the hard up . Always on sale similar time of year so no surprises there . Carnt see a massive increase after April anyhow . Only thing I see missing from the info is how long seats are reserved but am sure they’ll release that in due course. Good to see the back of the stupid membership structure that edin tried to flog us ,thou I did like the club shop discount for season ticket holders .

 

Plenty of ways to pay the £150 these days. 0% interest credit cards are easy to get and easy to spread the payments.

 

The ship has sailed but the time to do it was the play off final season. Launch an offer in April for 230 quid - based on a tenner per game marketing strategy. At the time, there was a fair chance of championship football on offer, so uptake would've been high. And if promotion weren't to come off, people were bought into a quality side and the manager.

We've wasted a huge opportunity through the hubris of one man.

 

There's a lot of that with City fans.

I don't think Fordy is necessarily the most eloquent or rational in the way he puts his points across but he does have some valid arguments.

There is an acceptance of ''well, we are what we are and that's that' but there's no reason that cannot change. There's also a fundamental fear of debt within our fanbase. We are apparently the only club that must live within its means and that's not only tiring but hugely limits our potential. Debt isn't a bad thing, it makes the world go round, but it has to be planned and manageable and certainly not in the credit card binge way Edin has left us in a mess.

I just find our collective acceptance of our 'lot' both frustrating and tiresome.

 

The references linking lower ST income to viable transfer activity doesn't necessarily equate to less quality. We have recently been stung by paying over the odds for targets that have failed to impress. The trick will be to get us going for less and I believe DH and co are well placed to bring in the quality we will need to mount a challenge.
(Within budget)

 

In my opinion we will still sell a decent amount of season tickets for next season but that is only because they are selling for a pittance.

We all know if they were £300 they’d be loads of people not bothering.

If you’re a true City supporter you’ll be renewing your ticket without even thinking about it. £150, £300 who cares? League 1, League 2 who cares?

We don’t know how lucky we are with our season ticket prices, a seated season ticket at Macclesfield Town is £320!

Just buy a ticket and support your club!

 

bye.

 

But your not attending anyway, so what’s it to you? Suggest you spend time organising your busy social life rather than coming on here saying you used to be a city fan.

 

He takes great delight in knocking all things City, including the fans. As you say, he states cannot stomach watching us in the 4th tier, yet happy to travel over to Harrogate to watch 5th tier. Very strange

 

I recognise you are lonely and need company, but insulting ppl is probably not the best way of going about this. So I am not even going to decipher what you are on about.

 

From watching a side narrowly miss out on a promotion to the Championship, I’m now watching a side slumped rock bottom, hurtling towards league two.

I won’t go into the why’s and why nots of why we find ourselves where we are, as it’s well documented.

I’ve gone from anger to despair to apathy to giving up and walking away from supporting the club.

The needlessness of this regression is one of the things I found most difficult to accept.

Yet, despite the desperate position we find ourselves in, I haven’t yet given up of staying in this division, yes, the chances are slim and many of the shower we’re relying on to keep us here aren’t worth the paper their contracts are written on.

However, 7 games to battle to stay here, is a damn sight easier than 46 games battle to get back here.

But, going on beyond that

If/ when we drop into the basement, I’m actually taking a slightly more pragmatic and positive outlook than what my opening few sentences spelt out.

Looking slightly further afield is the strategy as a fan I’ll choose to take.

Coventry, Blackpool is two clubs to use as a model of quick returns from L2.

24months pass very quickly, we could realistically have won league 2 ( or certainly gained promotion), in 24 months times we could realistically also be sat where Luton are.

Yes, we could also easily struggle in L2, however my new found optimism isn’t found on blind faith and a rallying call.

It’s found on a manager that thrives and revels on a challenge, solid work at both Blackburn and Blackpool suggest this. He’s now going to piece together a squad whilst not battling the boardroom.

We’ve also a bit of stability off the pitch in JR sat in the CEO role. We’ve an owner, a Man of dignity and integrity, a man of his word. Yes, naïve in football but learning quickly.

We’ve a cracking fan-base of quality fans, that generally can see beyond the last 45minutes of a football match, well I’m looking beyond the next season, I’m going to enjoy it, knowing the endgame is a good squad, built by GB, quite possibly sitting in the top six of league one this time in 2021.

Come on board, we’ve bottomed out off and on the pitch, the ladder will very soon replace the snake.

Probably the dumbest post in a while.

Bradford is arguably the poorest City in England.

Our average wages are the lowest in the UK for starters.

Ryan Sparks saying season ticket sales have picked up (yes I know he would say that) but sounded positive, also said totally different to last year after Simon Grayson had turned us down as a club we did not know which way we were going, where as this season we have Julian in place with afew appointments to make and Gary Bowyer already planning for next season, don't like the fact that we will be back in the khazi league, and yes I know it's no consolation but it has been worse, come on guys dig deep .

 

Can not win. People complain about lack of PR push but if the club target the PR to those that haven’t renewed people complain
