Is your glass half empty?

[DutchBantam]

So we are down. Division 4 beckons for the first time in over 20 years.

Are you a doom and gloom half empty person or an optimistic happy go lucky half full kinda person?

Is this the end of Bradford City? Are we doomed to insolvency or conference football or simply going to rot in Division 4 hell for eternity?

Or is this the damn of a new era. Out with Rhodes, in with a new board, a new chairman, a new owner. Somebody who will be able to get City on the cheap as Rhodes has reached the end of the line. Will we see Macca come home? Will we be gunning for the league title and seeing a rebirth on the pitch and in the stands?

CITY = Conference In Two Years.

Sorry but it's true.

[wykie]

We have been screwed shitless by a daddies boy who has never / will never be able to support himself or his family without daddy. He has taken his family wealth and City's future and screwed both. Nice one Julie.

Let hope its the start of our new history --
Once a city supporter, Always a city supporter
This is a point where some will stay and some will move on/out
I will still be here as long as there is a Bradford City Football club

It's OK for you to say that over in Spain, you don't watch this shite week in week out.

[baldbantam]

It's never the end. One way or another there will always be a team recognised as Bradford City playing football during the season.

It's just another phase in the history. I was there 20 years ago, I'll be there 20 years from now if I'm still about.

I go to watch City, not to watch the opposition. Couldn't personally care less what division we are in, apart from the impact it has on attendances.

I am with you Mal, I started out supporting City in the 4 th division but not watching arse holes like today. JR's strategy , Wethers tactics why should we bother if they cannot be bothered?

Been there - got the tshirt - before a lot of C&Bers started going to watch the club -- I feel like most of you about the performances/or non performances of the team -- but if I was over there I would still be there watching, hopeing and cheering the team on

By the Mal thats not to say your not a proper supporter cause you are, it's just to say that watching the demise of BCFC is like seeing a family member on life support. Best clear that up so you don't get the wrong end of the stick.

I must admit, I remember the team playing with effort and passion -- well up to going say 3 behind :) -- but that is how the game has changed -- maybe players then played for the joy of doing a job they loved where as now it seems to be just for the wages

To take a page out of chucks book, I am not going back to VP whilst Julie is in charge. He, I believe has killed this club or done his worst. I will not be going back whilst he is in charge.

I know Rick, its been a few sad years and like seeing anu loved one slip away, its not nice

Will he really be able to stay much longer -- he has no money and the fans are getting on his back

[Parrot]

Were not down yet tup: :rolleyes:

[Tarty]

No we are not down yet but look at it this way.

We need to go to Chesterfield for the win, a draw is no good. We also need Leyton Orient to lose BOTH their next games.

Now I can see them osing against Forest, after all they are going for the automatic promotion. But to lose against Huddersfield? Can you see them doing us any favours?

All Leyton Orient need is a draw from just 1 game. We might win against Chesterfield and Millwall.......but that draw that Leyton Orient need will come at Huddersfield

[Parrot]

were not down yet...still hope tup:

[Tarty]

were not down yet...still hope tup:

I bet if York go up via the play offs we will be playing them on the Tuesday night

[Parrot]

We'll be playing L**ds at Bellend Road on Boxing day tup:

Would the current team be able to win 3-0 away at Blackpool? Doubt it.

Aren't they embarrassed by the clubs position/performances? Is it because we had too many loanees? Then again, if Youga, SWD and Parker all go back to thier respectives clubs at the end of the season, NOT having done a job - what chance are they gonna have at thier own club?

I had the lovely Panther texting me the final result today (thanks v much!) and I thought she was winding me up. Couldnt believe it! Its not in our own hands anymore, and the fact that we can't buy a win at home means that I think we are down.

Get rid of the whole team and start from scratch. God knows who'll we attract as manager - God knows if we will have anywhere near 10,000 pledges now and God knows if JR want to stick around. Unfortunatley, I know for a fact that I will still be supporting us through thick and thin - hopelessly thinking that we can take the division by storm!

[Wicker Man]

i'm with parot on this one - we're not down yet. we probably will be, but we're not - dont give up yet, ive just seen the light

[Wicker Man]

Btw its just the end of the beginning

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

Chelt could still go down - bad result for them yesterday - we have to win our last 2 now and hope - I don't hold out much to be honest.
Come what may I'll still be going to VP next season - hopefully to see a new beginning on and off the field.
Windass for manager if Hull go down? - anything is possible in football. Maybe we can jetiison Omar Daley as well - should be up in court for criminal neglect.
