| Quote: RoyBoy29 "The village in Wigan you are referring to is actually a town.
And what's baffling about a local lad who has made a good life for himself and decides to plough some of his hard earned into the club he is very passionate about?
Not baffling at all, you could spin it round to say no one gives a toss in Bradford about Bradford.
This isn't any other clubs mess, comparing others to Bradfords predicament isn't really fair.
Hope you guys sort it out, and soon'"
Be nice if local lad Dave Whelan was to put some money into us. Bradford born and bred.

You've got the wrong end of the stick chief. What baffles me is not that you have a backer. It's the dilemma of how if Leigh can find a bit of wealth in a small town, how come there's literally not a penny to be found in Bradford or for that matter anywhere for the Bulls. I genuinely think it's odd that we keep getting taken over by people with two restaurants or a small security company, all with enough cash to have a nice car but wholly unable to finance a club.
We appear to be a sustained vanity project for a succession of faux white knights riding pantomime horses.

It's a Bradford problem. Bulls, City, Avenue, The Alhambra....... there has never been money splashing around the city.
It was only about four years ago City approached the Football League to play their games at Odsal because the rent on Valley Parade was crippling the club. Soon after that we needed the RFL to finance Odsal.

Talking of bred, he was raised in Wigan.

Very strange post that Pumpy. So you are in a dilemma because Leigh (the biggest town in the country without a railway station) have someone with a bit of money,but not in Bradford.
I think it's just a bitter response,which i suppose is understandable under the current circumstances.
BTW - I hope you can sought it out. Best of luck.

| Some friends of mine have a box in the coral stand. They were asked to renew and pay straight away, this was a couple of week ago. I don't know if that is normal procedure when purchasing a hospitality box.

Then you're looking for reasons to be offended.
"Biggest town in the country without a railway station".
LOL. If you're putting that forward as a serious defence of this perceived slight of Leigh, which nobody is decrying, then you already buy into the argument he's making.

| It was a strange feeling checking the news at lunch and reading we are in admin again. I wasn't particularly angry, sad or surprised. I read the article then carried on with my sandwich and read about something else.
I feel the same as several on here, I just don't think I've got the energy to get worked up about it for a third time in 4/5 years. I also don't know what outcome to the situation i'd be happy/excited about. No sorry, that's wrong, I do know what outcome would make me happy but it hasn't happened in 10 years and isn't going to happen this time either so no point being unrealistic.
If we somehow make it through and Marc does get his hands back on the club I don't feel like I can trust anything he says.
If we do start the season with him or new owners will we still have the team we do now and will the whole year be spent trying to catch everyone else after a 6-12 point deduction?
It's exhausting just thinking about all the same type of things we did last time and I don't think I can be bothered.
That is before even beginning to think about what to do bank wise re the 4 month season ticket plan I signed up to a couple of weeks ago and paid a couple of installments on.
Still, all the above is pretty insignificant compared to what the players and staff of the club must be thinking/going through. I'm quite surprised actually that absolutely no one from within the club has posted anything anywhere on the subject. No angry/upset tweets. Nothing.
Mick Gledhill posted that no one told the players staff before the announcement went out on the club website. If that is true it is absolutely disgraceful.

It's been obvious that they've been trying get cashflow for some time. I've had emails on an almost daily basis asking me to renew my membership.
