    Even that season we went up the games i did attend were like chinese water torture. It amuses that some get perverse pleasure watching non league standard football every week. If that makes me a plastic i couldn't care less.

    Yep, sat with them in kop block L v Oxford, have others in MR & Sunwin. But it was my son going that kept me buying ST's, without him my surefire reason has gone.

    I know people who's lives revolve around BCFC, nothing can be arranged without them checking fixtures, no way will they miss a home game, great, every club needs them.

    But they are not me, l don't have the enthusiasm left in me, after decades of mostly useless underachieving nothingness, to "go again", l am not watching BCFC in L2 nor struggling in L1 AGAIN, they've had a good run out me

    I am interested in how many will follow your lead CT. Obviously nobody knows how many didn't renew for this season for the reasons you mentioned but I would guess quite a few and I would imagine the majority of those will now renew.

    Yes Tennessee, I too think that if the price is reasonable (which I'm sure it will be) we can be optimistic that a large proportion of the thousands who went missing will return.

    It will be immensely easier in league 1 of course but even if we are back in league 2, with encouraging noises from Rupp in terms of his support and a rebuild in the summer, I can see many returning.

    It seems to come as a surprise to some people at this time of year that they might need to pay again

    Now that is the massive question. But I’d go with 25yrs after it started

    If we go down, there’s no chance we’re selling 15k STs

    We've never sold that amount of STs in the 4th tier. Why would we start now? As we're on a downward curve, skint and on the tail end of being screwed over by a lunatic owner? Not a chance.

    The last season is scheduled to be the 2025/26 season.

    After the second admin the terms were changed so that the tickets finished 6 years earlier. However, there was a clause put in that the tickets would be extended, by one season, for every season, during their validity, that we spent in League 2 or lower. So the 6 seasons we had in League 2, returned the tickets to their original expiry date of 2025/26 Any further seasons in League 2 or lower could, of course, extend that further.

    I think season ticket prices need to increase to at least £200 because despite Edin leaving, not all the lost fans will come back with City struggling this season.

    And don't forget the half time entertainment where @Fordy117@Fordy117 does doughnuts on the pitch in his imaginary Mercedes and then tosses a few midgets.

    I believe, and this might be completely wrong, but he will lose his shares at the conclusion of this season, and Rupp would be 100% owner at that stage, unless someone else bought in.

    it's something to do with the salary he has drawn is more than the value of his share.

    I wonder if there is the chance the club will offer the £149.00 price but a shorter time window in which to commit at this price?

    The previous seasons prices have been nothing short of an incredible offer by the club. The strategic approach and management (pre Edin) of making this work has to be admired. However £6.48 per game in today’s financial climate is outstanding, almost crazy! Before this becomes expected (has it become this already?) I wonder if its time to slightly increase?

    Some may say that’s madness, based on season so far and the risk of relegation still being very real. However if this season has taught Bradford City supporters anything, it’s that a collective support between fans and staff are absolutely imperative to the clubs future. I’d hope the vast majority will see this and choose to renew (if financially able) even if there is to be an acceptable increase.

    All this is easy for me to say, I live miles away and make way more away games than home. However on that subject it would also be nice to see the club investigate opportunities in enhancing the match day experience at VP. I much prefer away games than I do my infrequent trips to VP. More often than not the general experience and atmosphere is more collective and welcoming, even with significantly less fellow city supporters. I don’t know what might look like, but if the club want to encourage fans to return for another season, perhaps it could be worth investigating into cost effective opportunities?

    One thing saying it another doing it.
    As I've posted many times if fans/supporters want to pay more there will be a facility where they can do so.

    Just because he owns 22.5% doesn’t mean he is gettting our anything. If he is no longer employed by the club the only income would be through shareholder distributions ,eg dividends, which I can not see happening while we are losing £2m

    It was a tongue in cheek reply.
