    I keep seeing the term Bantam Progressivism on here and other places. What exactly is it?
    What does it mean?
    When did it start?
    My first games were mid to late 70s, was I part of it?
    Ta.

    I believe it was a term first used by the City Gent, and relates to most of the 80s, starting with the McFarland season where we progressed rapidly as a club, culminating in that "nearly season" where we missed out on promotion to the top flight in the play offs at Boro.

    It was yes 100% originated by the “ Gent” . I’ve still got many of the early copies in the loft somewhere . Mike Harrison or John Dewhirst penned it perhaps ?

    @Bigrod@Bigrod ...

    You have quoted my post but added nowt?
    I see this quite often with other posts, not necessarily from you. Is it a glitch is the system?

    Not sure if it the system or something at my end! It was a picture of the Bantams Progressivism small book, which looked at the origins. I have let tech support know about the issue. Here is the link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315647757399
    Apologies!
