    Not a discussion thread for the CEO or manager, just interested.

    Would you ever give up on City?

    I'll never not support them but there has been times where I've not gone for a prolonged period. I like to be entertained, if I feel I'm not I've got better things to do with my time.

    No but I can understand the frustration and loss of interest from other posters.

    No. But seriously it's detrimental to my mental health sometimes and I mean that in the most truthful of ways. I know it shouldn't be and it's only football but at the moment City is one of the few things I look forward to and it's getting harder and harder to feel positive.

    I've given up on the disinterested owner and the current managment structure. I've given up on the poor quality of players we have. I never give up hope that things will change and improve, which won't happen until we are under new ownership and management.

    Agree, but recent management changes suggest that no new ownership is imminent ..

    Stopped going before for a period. I always looked out for the club in those times but I just stopped enjoying it. We have an infinite time on this planet.

    At this point in time, I wouldn't attend. The reason amongst, my football buddy my son has really lost the appetite. That's a shame.

    Football has connection.

    I’ll never lose that inherent, deep seated love of the club. But I’ve lost all interest in going to games and watching how things are playing out. Its gone from being too painful, to just not worth it. We have no grasp of what’s actually going wrong and lack the intent to do what’s really needed to address it.

    I no longer consider myself a supporter of the club, I am merely a fan now.

    I’d always check the result first, always have, but I’ve gone through periods of lacking interest and that’s what I would mean by giving up. I’m never going to support another club, I’ll go to local league and non league clubs if my friends are going, but it’s always City first.

    Many of you have given up on Bradford City years ago but just don't admit it yourself hence why you accept the BS that comes out of the club.

    The club bounces of the fact they can get away with the BS hence why it does the things it does.

    Many are really just a fan like @Frank Castle@Frank Castle says not a supporter. The club is dead! It doesn't need to find an identity now, it needs to come alive!

    Give up going week in week out, yes. I have done in the past for various reasons - not enjoying the football, the person I went with died and I didn't feel like it and I moved away for a while too.

    Still followed and took an active interest, that will always be there. I have no desire to go watch City at the moment, in fact switching on the laptop to load up iFollow is a chore I could happily avoid.

    I actually didn't think I could get angry about football any more, until yesterday's announcements!
