Right now, I've got nothing other than I get to spend time with my kids.
The football is akin to Colin Todd's and Peter Taylor's. I've only missed the Crawley game so far but I won't be there Saturday and definitely won't do Mansfield. I'm spending too long stood on terraces being bored and wishing I was elsewhere, especially for a 4 hour round trip like Saturday so it impacts most of your day.
I probably just need a rest but it's some home games and ifollow for me, at least in the short term as I just can't drum up enough interest to want to spend any more money on being let down.
Once I believe the players and manager aren't going at this half hearted is the only time I'll bother with away games again this year.

I maintain, this is a huge opportunity for the right owner, the right footballing leader at the club and the right manager. And for players too. We have the biggest home and away following, week after week, despite having to endure some of the least entertaining football in the league and year after year of failure. The fans - that's the positive. We have the foundation of a self-sustaining Championship club, we have a platform that should be a huge draw to attract loan players and provide a stern test in front of large crowds. We do seem to develop decent young players though they're sold before they get near the first team. The pitch is now spot on, the ground is excellent, the training facilities are fine. Commercially we should only continue to improve and I think there's a huge (missed) opportunity for digital content.
We should be a ripe target for a wealthy owner to come in, but you have to make it happen, and I don't think we have the capability at the club to that effect.Stop hovering to collapse...

Every fan of every club in leagues 1 and 2 have all said the same thing yet here we are.
All the managers of opposing clubs say the same thing.
Between 2013-2017 we had dragged ourselves from the doldrums and were on the brink of being back in a division where we belong. It just needed a little bit more investment / risk / go for it attitude to get over the line.
If self sustainability and zero debt is all we have then we’ll be in this division for a very long time to come.bantam2708, Chris Withe, Briggus and 7 others like this. -

Bobby Pointon, He is a bradford city supporter who I hope gets a start against crewe and then we the fans can see if the lad is good enough.

The positive for me is a £15 per month season ticket means I can choose not to go and not feel guilty.
Fifty years of watching, week in and week out, rearranged personal and family events to attend, and I've never felt so 'meh' at the start of a season.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...borderlescott, Dubois, Loyalbantam and 2 others like this. -

Work is going on behind the scenes which is encouraging and it's good to see the academy bearing fruit however the rest is all goodwill.
Up season tickets to proper prices and the adult uptake drops by 4,000 easily. Those teenagers and kids are paying £30 a year and are probably accompanied by full paying adults. Lose the adults and lose the kids and you are looking at crowds of half what they are now.
Crowds of half that, and suddenly all sponsorship and commercial deals lose value and income streams from them drop.
Half the crowds losing £1m and then lose of commercial turnover and any owner has a problem on their handsBronco, Rogered Tart, Briggus and 1 other person like this. -

For all the talk of Wagmi, we’re still below them and got served to them on the opening day. Says more about or club than anyone else’s. We look at other clubs at what not to do and are often grateful for small mercies such as not being Bury, but if we’re looking for examples of failing clubs then we just need to look in the mirror.

At the moment the positive side of things is we are only 4 matches in with only 1 played at home and we are 3 points of 7th so despite a horrific performance on Saturday there is plenty of time to get things right.

For the first time in decades, I was sat with the home fans for a City away game a few weeks back. I've seen quite a few games from the same seat over the last couple of seasons and City fans were one of the loudest and most passionate set of supporters I've seen, even in the league above this one.
Yes, it wasn't a massive distance to travel and the weather was decent, but lots of City fans still made the effort. Even the locals I've got to know sitting in the same stand couldn't get their head around why a club the size of City languishes in the lowest league in English professional football.vladimir, borderlescott and QCFC BANTAM like this. -
Not a great deal for me to be honest, I probably tend to lean on the happy clapping side of the fence but I'm tired of been in this league and being rolled over by teams like Morecambe. The only highlight is I had a cracking weekend out with some friends I've not seen for a long time.
