Don’t forget the last minute loan signings….who star in their own videos, tell the fans what they are good at,,strengths, skills etc, come on for their debuts on the 69 minute mark…..and are never seen again.

 

I hadn't realized he'd actually ruled it out, I didn't think he was so arrogant.

I just thought he had his head in the sand.

That's annoying

How much more evidence does he need?!

 

Like most on here, I knew weeks ago we would not make the playoffs. The length of time I have had a st should point out that is not my yardstick. Find another beef.

 

There are hundreds of empty seats in the upper main stand, we moved there 2 seasons ago right behind the director’s box. So depends on your definition of prime seats, we’re high up but right on the half way line

 

"Value for money" will be our new catchphrase for the summer and beyond. Can see a lot of our high earners being moved on, whether we like it or not. Sparks will be needing to cut the cloth to a much lower strata of sustainability and GA will need to make some unpopular decisions as a consequence, whilst wanting his own players and hopefully the best we can afford.

 

Is it me or do we seem to have more injured players than other clubs? Plus they are out for much longer? Does our medical need to be revitalised? They seem to go off with a niggle never to be seen again!

 

Have you been sharing Dons glue?

 

It would be nice to think it won't be the case this time... But the club would be saying so, surely.

They're not.

They're downplaying the next campaign, it feels like.

 

Who signs them all off? Our CEO.....Who said on Radio Leeds that there is no need for a DOF or similar....

 

Yea Chris the way he plays. He reminds me of Bryan Robson mate. Injured mostly doing things and tackles he cannot make. I don’t do glue too sticky. . I like Walker but injured too much.

 

It's a real shame because they obviously recognized Jamie Walker is a key player who is often out - so they brought in Pattison, who instantly became another sicknote.

So we just didn't have a competent attacking midfielder for long spells.

Personally, I don't think that's one that we can pin on the recruitment, but I wouldn't keep both Walker and Pattison for next season, I'd look for someone else who might stay out of the treatment room.

From 15:30 in.......his words, something considered, consider all options....then ultimately (about a minute thirty later) says something that's not needed, different structures.....

 

I seem to recall somebody saying a few years ago, when we were selling 16,000 season tickets that analysis showed that nearly 10-15% didn't renew in a normal year, but this was covered or exceeded bythe number of new holders. The main reasons for people I know not renewing in recent years are death, illness, reduction in mobility or moving away from Bradford. Although many moan about the football I can't remember any actually not renewing because of that! Anyway I suspect the real struggle will be to attract the normal 10-15% of new season ticket holders.

 

But we can’t do that can we - as seasoned fans? Fair weather and new ones yes, as I stated, but those of us who’ve followed for x amount of years no. It’s Stockholm syndrome.

 

So your beef is that you want to know if we reach the playoffs before you’ll renew?
In previous seasons yes we’ve had until June to renew for seat retentions but Sparks knows renewals will be down this summer and so is being clever hoping on peoples fear like yourselves of losing prime seats you’ve held for years in a last ditch attempt to get you to renew……and I bet it works with most people.

 

I have no idea if it will work but it has p’d me right off. That is what I mean about arrogance and contempt for the fans and how they feel. He can shove his prime seats that will cost me £738 to retain. That will come into our thinking don’t you worry about that!
