    It's valid criticism which has substance. They've talked about transparency and aren't providing it.

    It's just another excuse. Imo. Everyone knows around about what the figure is, it was quoted during the season ticket campaign. I'm not sure needing to know the exact figure is of that importance myself.

    I would see it as a window of opportunity to demonstrate unity, the club engaging with the supporters. This is a simple legitimate question. If the club can publish match ‘attendance’ figures (apparently 15,709 for the Charlton game) why not the. Number of Season Tickets sold?

    I hope you will also enjoy.:thumbup::thumbup:

    The last update I remember was around 14,000 which I believe was on Twitter.

    Was the honest and better communication in the apology from last week?

    It seems the presence of fans does have an impact on players. See:- https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2014/august/show-your-colours-against-coventry/
    The non-obvious for the fan is to make a visual impact.” fan to help shape the club’s season.” Bradford City fans to become the 12th man

    I fully agree, it's certainly not one of those situations. Nor are any other issues, within the Club.

    However ..... ST's apart - A poster suggested earlier 'Is it important to know our matchday pie sales ?'
    Not really, but it would be interesting to know ............. Afterall, they form a part of our commercial revenue. Let's just whip up a ball park figure or two, here ...........

    Our 'average' home attendance is say 16,000 ?
    Total customer sales at the kiosks are 4,000 (As entries on till bill totals ;) )
    Of which ..........
    1,000 were pies
    1,000 were 'other' snacks.
    1,000 were some form of drink.
    1,000 were a combination of 2 or more.

    The above figures are totally fictitious, but yet ...........

    From a commercial perspective, why are only 25% of our fan base making a purchase ?
    As a Board member, I would be inclined to meet with our caterers and discuss ;
    a) The choices on offer to fans.
    b) The quality of those choices.
    c) Is it value for money.
    All answers would be relevant, imo.

    If questions such as ST's and pie sales didn't matter, then no-one would ask. :)

    If 'John' had been a City fan at the time - He'd have had the answer in a flash, ha ha ha. An' his elder brother, sitting his 'A' Levels would also tell you how many ST's and POTD were there !! ;)

    I've always had a 'thing' about statistics, but I don't let them consume me. Afterall, much as they are informative, they can also be manipulated to support any tale you wish to tell.
    Kinda like a general Blood test - The results will only answer the few questions you were asking. If you're not looking for something, the chances are that you won't find it. :)

    As an aside why do you care how many season tickets have been sold? It's not as many as lat year, so why would the club go out of there way to advertise it?

    I guess it reflects where the support is and how people responded to the events of the 2017/2018 season. The club extended part of the package until August, so it was important for City. I wonder how the club intends to reconnect with several thousand who did not renew. I understand that the final figure is significantly lower than last season.
