Club statement

Quote: bren2k "An amateurish response from the club that - something akin to getting out of your car after a ding and saying "Sorry - totally my fault!"

If the club has received complaints but no investigation has yet taken place, the statement should be, "We've been notified of some concerns by visiting supporters which we are now looking into and, if proven to be true, we will take swift and robust action. We welcome visiting supporters at BV and take any complaints very seriously etc etc.."

As it stands, I would suggest that following a Facebook campaign to take over the North Stand, some Bradford fans came with their drum and trumpet, all full of mickey and wind, with an expectation that they would outplay us, outsing us, and go home with bragging rights; as things quickly unravelled for them, the back and forth chanting took on a different tone and a few who couldn't handle their disappointment have decided to manufacture some complaints as a parting shot. We should *not* be admitting any liability for that until it's been investigated - as I'm 100% certain that there were shots fired on both sides.

As for meast and his rabid whipping up of an imaginary problem at BV; it's all a bit pathetic really. Every single club in SL has a small selection of idiots - as does every single gathering of people at any event ever, anywhere in the country; whilst it's true that violence, dangerous behaviour or discriminatory language should be dealt with, it's also important to remember that being offended is a very subjective thing - if I complained every time I was offended by something, I'd be like meast - a rather pathetic and sorry figure, with nothing of any real substance to say, whom nobody takes seriously.'"

Well put sir.

This is what so frustrates me with Carter and his angry dad routine. He seems to be totally devoid of any ability to exude positivity. It's as if Willzay has become the CEO which I suspect even he doesn’t think is a good idea.

For heavens sake Carter stop treating the fans like they are a group of peasants whom you are obliged to let into your ground who you assume are always in the wrong.

Unlike my mate Jack in the box I don’t feel for the club on this one as so much of it is of their own making.

If Carter is that bothered why not stop the sale of alcohol at the ground or get our ever zealous stewards to stop stripping sober fans of coke bottle and stop clearly drunk fans entering the ground. Or does MC’s moral outrage stop at losing beer sales - sums it up to me.
