    From the Supporters Board Facebook group:

    It is with deep dismay and anger that The Supporters Board note the disgraceful behaviour of some of our so called Fans in abusing members of the BCAFC Management Team and in particular our CEO, Ryan Sparks by bombarding his phone with abusive texts and messages at the end of the transfer window.

    The appalling actions of this minority of people does nothing but reflect badly on our club. Supporters have every right to express their opinions on performance on and off the pitch but this does not extend to the personal abuse of Ryan, Stefan and in fact any other employee of Bradford City football club.

    Abhorrent behaviour such as we have witnessed over the last couple of days is totally unacceptable and cannot be defended in any way. It needs calling out and the perpetrators banning for life from ever attending Valley Parade again. They are NOT fans of the club.

    The vast majority of us will continue to give our support to the club and we can only hope that these few bad apples can be rooted out.

    Why would Sparks, Rupps or Adams mobile phone numbers be in the public domain?
    If it’s trolling on social media then the answer is simple, don’t use social media, it’s the root of all modern evil.
    Whilst I don’t condone the sending of abusive messages, unless they were of a very serious content then I think suggesting lifetime bans is a bit extreme.

    I read that Sparks puts his mobile number on the bottom of his emails.

    Some of our fans are complete dickheads.

    Make your views known in the ground like last night. E-mail or write to the club to express your concern over the direction of the club without being abusive.

    Harassing someone on their phone with abusive texts and phone calls is idiotic and they deserve everything coming to them.

    I was told that someone had posted personal contact information on twitter - effectively releasing the hounds.
    Would happily see one or all of Adams, Sparks or Rupp leave the club - but it’s not difficult to draw a line between their professional roles and private individual lives.
    Appalling behaviour and they want banning for life - and if appropriate passing over to the police to deal with

    These sort of brainless people spoil it for others because this sort of thing will completely stop any interaction with fans

    What do you mean by this? Expressing concerns and ranting and raving on a public forum is a million miles away from contacting someone directly and harrassing them.

    As much as I want Sparks to leave the club, I want it to be because of business reasons, not stress, worry , fear or anything else related to such idiots. Whoever is doing the absusing, needs something more chucked at them other than a lifetime ban.

    No it isn't but although I think you are entitled to your opinion it's exactly the reaction I would expect from you.

    It has a lot of potential for good, but ultimately you’re correct it’s used by so many people on such a vile way the human race would be better without it. We as a species are self destructive unlike any other. You only have to look at weapons. Cave men created them to hunt so the human race could survive and thrive and they were quickly turned to attack and kill each other and what we’re doing to the planet that gives us life. It’s hard not to despair sometimes.
