    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.

    Honestly, no. If the club ceased to exist for some reason I would go to watch Silsden down at the newly developed 4g pitch at Marley.

    You've though! You lie to yourself because I am not having that you find the decisions the club are making in recent time acceptable plus you are happy to sit in you white Y fronts accepting the rubbish that the clubs dishes out.

    You just like football..You don't care for the club! Difference!

    Do as I did Chrisako and let your feelings known to Ryan Sparks and the club. Only when fans start to complain will they listen. If this continues when fans are allowed back then it will only create animosity.

    Sparks can't do anything. It's an EFL matter.

    However, Bradford City's problems are a miles bigger than players taking a knee. I couldn't careless if the players did handstands before kick off!

    Give it a rest Fordy, from a position of 20th near Christmas he would look a muppet saying we are aiming for the play offs or promotion because 'fans' like you would then hurl further insults at him for failing if it wasnt achieved. He spoke very well yesterday but he will know better than anyone he now has to walk the walk - I think most fair minded fans would agree with him in this very strange season that our first objective has to be to move away from where we are in the table so we are not constantly looking over our shoulder, we can then reassess our aims.
    He did say promotion out of this division has to be the objective next season - by then we will hopefully have a more settled structure at the club, a much better and more equipped squad of players and the fans will be back to strengthen the revenue streams we so badly need

    Happyclappers will love this...

    It's so fecking hard to get motivated when our team is so bad. It's very hard motivated when our manager is so bad and repeats the shit over again.

    Here's hoping 2021 is much on all fronts.

    No. I'll never give up.

    To quote RO.
    It's in the veins.

    That's Randy Orton.
    Not Roger Owens.

    It is the wrong question to ask as the recent results are proving City have given up on us.

    Ambition?

    Nothing has changed.

    Getting moist just waiting for the next season ticket video.

    Yes. I nearly gave up on them once before, McCalls third season. Hated every minute of it and felt like the end of the road for us so started playing on a Saturday instead and almost completely forgot about City.

    Taylor coming in got my interest back given his record of promotions but when that crashed and burned and Jacko came in I'd had enough. The club could have folded and I would barely have cared.

    Didn't get a season ticket for the following year for the first time since uni but weirdly ended up going to quite a few games once PP came in and the interest came back. If Jacko had stayed I reckon that would have been the end for City and me.

    I believe that QPR have stopped this 'knee' business Fordy? Even Les Ferdinand has said that it's time it was stopped as it's now lost it's impact. So on the basis of this it's surely up to the club?

    Look, you are gone! You don't care about the club but you follow it. If you cared you wouldn't back the silly decisions the club makes and you would have a view.

    You're a dancer!! Dancing with the other mug followers. We make a crazy decision and you find it acceptable. It's a joke!

    And what bit of I will be on Bantam Talk don't you get??

    is it The Market Tavern you mention? That's where I recall buying my tickets from all those years ago.

    Bradford City say dance and you put the music on to start dancing! No thought process of your own.

    True and it is hard to argue with your comments - I was solely referring to Sparks interview yesterday and how he came across and his comments at this point in time. If we look back at all the promises we as fans have been made over the past 3 to 4 years it is going to be a depressing (and long) story
