Forget exclusion zones, reports to the council or sending the heavies round, the most effective way to get shot of them is not to buy 'owt off 'em.

Once in a blue moon the street hawkers come out to play.
Let's face it not much call for an half and half against the likes of Exeter or Cheltenham.
Today there was a captive audience don't blame them trying to cash in.
The club doesn't have control of the streets around the ground.Jay, elleb, Carts #CTID and 2 others like this. -

Even Man Utd have this problem, The huge concourse outside the club shop is owned by the council and full of traders doing good business with Man Utd merchandise, Am sure Man Utd would love to stop them but cannot as they do not own the land

One of the things that ‘street vendors’ have over the Club shop, is that they are ‘in the street’.
The club shop is in an area where most fans are actually crossing Valley Parade to get into the stadium.
Yes it is close to the ground but doesn’t have a site which catches the eye and most supporters by the time they get to VP are focussed on getting into the ground.
Perhaps ‘Pop up’ style shops actually on ‘the street’ is the way forward. There are probably a few prime sites.
I would suggest:
- Top of Thorncliffe Road/Manningham Lane
- Top of Valley Parade/Manningham Lane
- Bottom of Thorncliffe Road/Midland Road
- Midland Road/Holywell Ash Lane
- Bowland Street/Manningham Lane
People need to think ‘outside the box’. One for @Glenn Ackroyd to consider?Paul, Jay and Pineapple Salesman like this. -

If you see anyone you think isn’t licensed you can report them to the council.
Not sure if the club have got the permits either? Maybe you could contact the council with your concerns.Jay and Park bantam like this. -
They are not touts (reselling items such as tickets) but vendors of unlicensed goods. You can sell items which allude to Bradford City unless the club has the equivalent of copyright or trademark. So the current club crest would I assume be protected. However a woollen hat in Claret and Amber would be difficult to protect.
If you are unhappy with the goods do not buy them.
Must admit I have bought a coupe of enamel badges from the vendor on Manningham Lane top of Valley Parade who stands next to the programme seller. Are they ‘licensed’? -
