Will HMRC not just asked for money on Tuesday and if so will they give you additional time to convert the pledges into real money.

I see you're banging the benefit of hindsight drum now rather than well you must want to destroy the club instead drum. I suppose that's an improvement.

BREAKING NEWS... the deadline for pledges has now been extended from Monday 9th April at 5pm until rlMonday 9th April at midnightrl.

Every little 7 hours helps.

Still a PR own goal for me, why not announce part 1 of a very big job done (for the sake of £20k) and then return to the small matter of another £500k!

Can't help thinking this will kill momentum somewhat, they needed a good news story this morning, not another wait and see!

P.S A rather worrying tweet from John Bateman on Twittor, looks like the lads off!

'@johnbateman1: Going to be some tough decision I am going to after make but , oh well it all part of life ant it lets everyone get behind Bradford ppl'

They just can't help themselves.

Right decision but once again dreadful PR. this could have been worded and handled so much better. Then we would not be arguing amongst ourselves.

FFS will whoever is in the chair in two weeks time sort the bloody PR out! The crap PR has done more than anything else to risk snatching failure from the jaws of success. The club should be grateful that those of us that are desperate to see success have not allowed the crap PR to distract us.

Why don't you ask Sugar Daddy Moran to hung us £50k?

We undeserving supporters haven't been told that there is actually any big payment due on Tuesday, or any other date for that matter. Just that they need 500k by Thursday 5pm, sorry kick-off, sorry half-time, sorry today at 1130, sorry Monday at 5, no sorry Monday at midnight.

No difference whatsoever between 5pm Thurs and Tues morning. Banks businesses and tax offices all closed.

Salaries have to be paid next week so do some of the tax liabilities.

Which is what should have been made clear to everyone as soon as they realised that the problems were about to arise, not drip fed out through certain people once time had been taken to prepare mailshots and a website.

On the very first morning that this came public someone on here (I think) pointed out that yesterday was a meaningless deadline in terms of any creditors that may have been becoming due with it being the BH weekend.

Anyway what's done has been done, but if the current regime want trust and respect moving forward they really need to sort themselves out.

Quite. The morons in charge of the club have completely lost me now. I honoured the pledge made last year in purchasing a season ticket which I knew I'd hardly use because I wanted to help the club out and help it to succeed. I made the effort to turn up last night for a fixture I've not attended in years and have little interest in. No more - I'm out.

without a doubt.

Think people are being a bit precious here. Yeah they've handled it badly so what's new?

THe main thing is we've done the 500K so the club is safe and that's all that counts really. I'm off to rest me bones.

The deadline to pledge was always 5pm yesterday and the announcement was going to be this morning at 09.00 which was moved back yesterday by two hours. It's now been moved to Monday.

After a few hours to calm down I think you're probably right, and if I came on a bit strong then I apologise to all concerned.

I am still sat in the hospital waiting room waiting for the final prognosis on a family member though.
