    I think we're needed now mire then ever.
    I will definitely be there when I can be

    I've sat in the ssme seat for the last 15 years, I quite fancy trying out different seats.
    I've never say in the bradford end, corner or midland Road so hopefully get to try them all this coming season

    As I’m 50+ with an underlying health issue I really want to go, will buy a season ticket........
    Just not sure if I’ll get a chance to use it!
    Strange times, will give the club my money if not my happy clapping

    Wasn't there something about chanting, singing and shouting to be banned? What's the point in attending games and sitting there in silence? Might as well be at home.

    It’s no from me. But then, it’s nothing to do with coronavirus.

    Think it’s a massive bargain compared to other clubs. Got my ticket will attend if I think it is safe to do

    I will not be buying a ticket as I can not guarantee which Saturday, or midweek, I can get to so Only having access to half the games makes it unlikely I’ll use it much.

    I’ll leave it for those that can go

    Has there been any talk of an option for fans in your situation who might want to return to their current seat in the following season? I think it's Rochdale (or it might be Pompey) who are doing something on those lines via their flexi system.

    Due to work commitments, its likely to be no....

    See if I can sort something out first at work but working in retail, I understand I need to be flexible in this current economic environment

    For the first time in 55 years, its likely to be a no from me. Just like booking holidays has been this summer, there are far too many uncertainties to warrant buying a season tickets for the 5 of us. Might be Thackley for me if I crave a live fix, and they allow fans in.

    Hopefully Radio Leeds will be covering us.

    There hasn’t but I think they will just role seats over and ignore the 20/21 seats as everyone will be in different ones. Would it be the 20/21 seat YOY get to rebuy in 21/22 or your old 19/20 seat.

    Spoken to a couple of friends and are leaning towards no, but will make an informed decision once all the info is known.

    If I can get over in October (flights already booked) and not be quarantined, I'll try to find a way to get a ticket. Other than that, might resort to ifollow. One thing's certain, it's going to be a little strange this season.

    @FrenchBantam@FrenchBantam no didn’t know Joe, used to spend most of my time drinking in the Wagon or Vicky park. Best part of that side of Huddersfield was the Beaumont Arms in Netherton, on a match day would be more Bradford exiles than town fans, much to the annoyance of Dave the landlord.
    I’ve now moved to Lepton, still full of town fans but they breed outside of their family circle over this side of town!!

    Due to my underlying health condition, travelling to, and attending, matches is an unecessary risk for me. I'm also not sure that the sterile atmosphere of a socially distanced Valley Parade is something that would appeal anyway.

    I've held a season ticket continuosly since 1977 however, unless there is an iFollow season ticket package, it will be a no from me.

    I can't see me going in the current climate.

    I enjoy pre-match beers as much as the football. I'm not going to risk going into busy pubs, so that aspect is out.

    I'll get an iFollow for the season and possibly go to see some non-league football more locally for me.

    I think the more the dust settles on the ins and outs then more people will take this approach. The whole idea for me is to enjoy the routine of match day, dinner at my parents with my lad then sat around the same group i've sat around for years at the game. To be honest i prefer away games anyway and the regime i would have to undertake just to watch a football game now takes the enjoyment out of it. I understand the reasons but sitting in a sterile football stadium away from others following a very strict protocol doesn't interest me in the slightest. The interaction with others is one of the main reasons i go.

    Originally I was very much up for getting back to VP. But as time has past I have got less and less enthusiastic for this zombie world of football. Not withstanding the ground being in central Bradford and the health dangers associated with that ?!

    So its very likely a NO ! from me. I have never been so disinterested in Bradford City or its players. I want to back Stuart of course but letting this season come and go is no miss. Hopefully we will get promoted and by the time I get back this group players will have left we can start anew in 21/22.

    I wont miss it in the circumstances will watch local football if its back and get a Sky Sports sub to watch a wide variety of Prem & Champ "zombie football " live. Fair play to those who want to put themselves through it but its not my idea of an enjoyable afternoon or evening out ?.
