    Seen a lot of folk attacking the club, have turned on the City itself now. Council, Bulls, etc in the firing line

    I only really venture to VP and as a Leeds lad, I dont know the City that well.

    What do you think is Bradfords biggest problem and what is the solution? And does it have an adverse effect on our club?

    Its not just Bradford's biggest problem but every citys problem

    The Internet !

    Its made shopping from home so simple , Amazon prime with free deliveries , there really is no reason to go to shops any more

    No shoppers = no footfall = closed shops

    Amazon - IPTV - internet - social media - sky tv - Netflix - cheap beer in supermarkets ... Just some of the reasons no one goes out anymore

    Less disposable income and parking hassles only means there will be no changes any time soon

    Yes I go to Leeds often but go on some of the Leeds forums and they are saying some shops and bars are closing also... Just not on the scale of Bradford's misery

    It's the same here in Manchester. Even in places like Chorlton, where there is money, cafes/bars/restaurants are all struggling.

    All players in the team.

    Got to say I don't like the "City" part of our name being omitted.

    Bradford is/ was our other "football" team.

    Walk around the city centre for an hour and you'll find find more problems than you've had hot dinners

    When a high percentage of the population don’t even pay tax you know there’s a problem.

    Goes hand in hand. I was doing some work in Bradford centre the other day and apart from the shop keepers I will have been the only working person.

    You only have to look at that little area between the bottom of Ivegate and Sunbridge Road or as I prefer to call it.... Smackhead Square.

    My sister works in an office about 50 yards up the road.
    She spends lots of time watching the police deal with them.
    Seems to be a never ending job for them.

    The Tesco opposite mustn’t make any money as it’s just a constant procession of “people” just walking in and helping themselves.
