Tuesday 25th June - Bradford City Fans’ Media Group Meeting - Suggestions Thread

Discussion point: Are we contemplating having a reserve team next season?

Who is the bantams talk representative?

I realise this isn't a direct question for the meeting, just interested to know.

 

Condition of the pitch/ what work had or will be done over off season. Is work done last year working?

 

Think the mods are taking turns

 

• State of the of the pitch
• Quality/price of food/drink options
• Can't speak for other stands but toilets in Midland Road can be grim (hand driers often don't work, no hot water etc etc)
• Communication - sounds daft but small things like regularly communicating prior to away games how many away tickets we've sold (especially if we're doing well) as these sorts of things can help generate a buzz/excitement
• Similarly to above, social media engagement. See plenty of clubs that have regular light hearted segments with players, coaches and staff (other than the bog standard Thursday interviews) which allow fans to interact and 'connect' which is key this year following the last 18 months
• Long term strategy/plan - what do we as a club actually want to achieve (outside promotion, obviously). We've been out of the Championship since 2004 now, what is our strategic/tactical plan to get back there now. Not just soundbites like "3 year plan" etc etc

 

Nice one Pineapple an excellent representative.

I thought this had been confirmed or am I confused?

 

Most important question is why isn’t the longest running City forum invited?

 

If it has I must have missed it. The women’s team are having a reserve team.

 

Ah that might have been it.

(note to mods - I'm in agreement, not bickering)

 

You might even get a game now that you’ve got a full kit

 

To add to the question about the coaching situation, I’d like them to answer what has changed between the last forum and now. Seen as they said it was Todd’s decision to leave and that Bowyer WOULD be bringing in a replacement

 

It would be good to know if Gary be willing to name any of the juniors that he sees coming through and getting game time in the first team for example GSK or Reece.

Both have been talked up over the last year or two and on the other side we've seen a number of juniors leave recently. Gary might say he didn't see those breaking through perhaps or whatever but I'd prefer to focus on those that are still here - does he see them breaking through to get some first team game time or how does he see his role in supporting them to progress perhaps?

 

Its a pipedream but i would like a meaningful bradford city song/chant unique to bradford city - can we have one of those please? I like the spirit it gives matches say at Anfield or the Etihad.

stipulation... non cheesy

small note: if any readers of this love our songs then i apologise its just an opinion and look at is being that we get want one more to sing.
