    I am just one individual, this is about the whole of the membership, and as you can see I never shared any info. I just don’t think you should be putting yourself in that position without consultation with everyone or at least give them the opportunity to think through the implications of private meetings. Your report back was very limited and was hardly reassuring. This was back in September? I haven’t had anymore DM.

    No, I don't agree with the concept that meetings with supporter representatives should be regarded as private or 'confidential'. I'm sure that's what Rahic would prefer to happen and may have asked for that since it is a conventional 'divide and rule' tactic but that is no reason why your group should have agreed to it. You should have reminded him what he has said previously about wanting to be more open and transparent with supporters.

    If you want to position yourself as a supporter representative group, you need to consider whether what you have agreed to do with Rahic is conducive with that wider role. I contrast that with the BCST meeting where the minutes/transcript has been placed in the public domain. The club's future is far more important than so-called confidential information having to be shared with only supporter group! Just to avoid any misunderstanding, I disagree fundamentally with what you have agreed with Rahic.

    NO BRONCO,I think iff I had, I probably would have had the boot by now. I can't understand why they want to talk to man.ITs gone beyond the point of discussion, just tell him to go, or words to that effect.

    I am trying to be fair here, they were asked for their advice, which is ok, but it should not have been done under a confidentiality clause, and from what I can work out, that advice was not headed.

    Read our constitution. We have never tried to be a supporters representative group. We are a supporters group who provide travel/social events and raise money for local charities. And what response did BCST get to their "minutes" being made public ?

    Please yourself sunshine.
    There's nothing in any of your secret meetings and his secret plans, that will change my opinion on Enid the incompetent.

    So has this meeting taken place after the infamous announcement of 12/9/2018:-

    '“I attended the Shipley Bantams’ annual general meeting last night and it was great to speak with supporters through the course of the evening. Over the coming months, I am looking forward to meeting with various supporter groups, partners and season-ticket holders. These events will provide opportunities for you to ask the questions you wish to ask about the future of the club going forward". https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2018/september/edin-rahic-statement/

    Irrespective of the response to the quality of the transcript of their meeting with Rahic, they had the good sense and the nous to make their transcript public. Given the sensitivity of these kinds of discussions, you and your group have left a lot to be desired.

    In what capacity were you discussing these 'confidential' matters with Rahic? What's the best route to Peterborough? Which local charity should benefit from our fund raising? I suspect it was nothing of the kind despite what your constitution might say. I'd rather you didn't take other posters on here for mugs!

    What is the point though? This is not for individual members of BB to give advice which may or may not be the correct advice. As it goes I wouldn’t disagree with the advice you gave, but that is not the point. As I said in my DM honesty and transparency is the order of day.

    Advice was requested from a very very small percentage of our fan base then asked to be kept confidential
    Dennis has it spot on with his divide and rule comment
    Doesn't every supporter whether or not a member of a fan club or whatever guise deserve to know what is going on with our club.
    City since 67 has only served to stir up more distrust unrest call it whatever and feel certain it will be detrimental to the club
    Bradford City is a club for all its fans and not just a chosen few who fly their own particular flag

    Well I suppose he has 'talked', in saying we (then me) will be consulted by Julian Rhodes.

    No point in him saying anything with that attitude is there?

    Problem is no matter what he or anyone at the club does now they have no chance of turning it around.


    Let’s just shout feck off every time they say anything or do anything at the club. Moronic

    You may well be correct! So does this mean you will be cycling down to VP on 24/11/2018?
