BCFC Ltd.. what would

[panther]

you do if they were found to be needing fans help again...

This is a serious question and not based on any fact or rumour, I am just curious.

Tell them to do one, i aint a charity the way they treat fans is a disgrace and they should be embarrased with the way the club is run

[sweetcakes]

I would help ONLY if all the board members where not to be involved again with the club

[panther]

Thats two fair comments IMO...

anyone else??

[Ed]

Rhodes wouldn't be allowed to be involed again, Lawn would though.

[Parrot]

Its alright everyone saying they'd tell them to get fcuked, but the truth is we'd all be there again to save the club when the current owners ineptitude as put the club on the brink again! :(

Its that or let the club go to the wall....your choice?

[Jantje]

I would help ONLY if all the board members where not to be involved again with the club

Agree with that but if it meant the club going tits up i might fall soft...........again

[Ed]

Depends what help they wanted....

More bums on seats?

Make up half the running costs?

[sweetcakes]

Nope sorry i would not be so soft.

If it mean't forming a NEW club so be it.

The way this board as treat it's fans is ****ing disgusting.

[ChuckleBantam]

I donated Fifty quid in the summer of 2004 and feel so conned by the behavior of all the personalities involved with the BCFC board of directors since that day that I will not put another single halfpenny into any appeal these twats make, ever again. The reason; I think they are all dishonest, simple as.

If someone wanted funds to mount a take over and rid the club of the **** that is responsible for the mess it is in and the aforementioned dishonesty, then I'd happily contribute to that.

wrong p im fed up now im getting to the point where i think there is nobody who would possibly give the club what it need.

WERE JUST NOT ATTRACTIVE AS A CLUB

The city is a fooking dump, 75% of the fans are total tool's who are ready to accept the way the club is run just cos the 2 titties are city fans, and the council dont care cos we dont play with an egg shaped ball

I aint giving them any more of my money to piss away i have more important things to spend my money on now.In total i donated £500 which for me was a lot of money last time,£200 i paid to watch the allstars match and i thought id sit in the empty box seats only to be asked to move i told them i just paid £200 ill sit where i want they told me id be ejected if i didnt move...............great way to treat the fans........

It'll go to the ****ing Wall before I give Rhodes ANY kind of backing to continue the pathetic job he's done since 2004.

If thats your stance on the matter then fair enough, but i'd see it as the lesser of two evils and hopefully by keeping the club solvent it would make sure we've still got a club by the time someone comes along with an ounce of business sense ;)

Who knows whats around the corner? :rolleyes:

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

The biggest obstacle to anymore incoming "investment" must be the ownership of the ground - I'm sure a lot of people out there take notice of the crowds we can attract and also the mega millions being pumped into the area.

It's too easy to take the critical approach.

There's definetly a better future out there for the club, but it depends if we can grasp what it will take.

[Devil's Advocate]

How much do people think the club was worth in 2004? Just interested cos effectively the money the fans raised arguably could have been worth far more than the thing it saved.

Personally I don't want to wait for a white knight with "business sense", I'd rather use the skills embedded in the thousands of fans we have every Saturday. Even a small percentage of them will demonstrate a damned sight more "business sense" than has been seen at Valley Parade lately. No takeover as such and no financial investment. You all know my view, bring the fans on Board in a democratic and accountable way.

To answer the original question, yes of course I would. It is MY Club after all and its heart beats with mine. City will never die whilst the fans want it to survive.

The alternative of a new Club would only come into play if there was no real and viable way forward for the Club in its current format.

We have two fans at the helm now and look what mess were in!

I'd sooner have another GR (bar the 6 weeks of madness!) clone come to the club and get a grip TBH tup:

They aren't accountable to the fans. First and foremost they look after their own interests which is not what I was suggesting, and you know that.tup:

[biliousbantam]

When you look around the leagues at some of the dodgy characters buying into clubs, I think we are better off with what have. As for running the club by a committee of fans, like communism, a nice idea but it would never work well.

[panther]

Ive been reading this and I have to say the answers are as I would have expected.. as from my own point of view, at this moment, I just dont know what I would do... there are only so many times one can be kicked and, at this moment in time, I dont know if I could go down that road again.. it almost cost me everything the last twice putting club first.. :sorry:

If I won £100m on the Euro Lottery, I would buy ML and JR out - give Stu and Jakes a target to aim for and a decent budget, and expect a minimum of 15,000 season tickets to be sold at a slightly higher price than we have this last summer.
I'd call the odds and no fan would sit on the board with me, only an appointed Chief Exec and Co.Secretary/Director.
VP would be bought back from Gibb as well.

If I won £100m on the Euro Millions, I'd not throw a penny in the direction of Valley Parade, the current regime have turned it into a lost cause, so i'd hang on to my brass and tantalisingly wave big wads of money in Junior's direction Loadsamoney style.

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

I have no worries that I could make a go of the club commercially and still have maybe £50m to invest elsewhere for some nice gains - mmmmmmm.

does anyone know how much money JR has put into City over the years? just curious

Why we all chatting like where on the brink of financial ruin? This has all sparked due to Stuart McCall spenind his budget and us not coughing up some dough for a good young player...Doesn't meen where in financial ruin, and how is the club run bad btw?

How about...No?

I know more than you about whats going on at this club and i've proved it a number of times, you all think the worst because of the bad past, wheres the solid proof that Lawn has said where out of business if we go down? 'Cos I doubt thats true cos them 2 can just leave and most probably, if Lawn has cleared debts someone will come in..Big clubs like this don't die..Yeh yeh im going to get stick for this...

But sorry for not being like you lot, sorry for not hating our chairman and being so pestimistic about everything.

[CTID86]

well said bantamboy, i dont see why everyone is always so pesimistic. Everyone seems to feel like they are owed something, we are owed ****. If you dont like the club dont support them, nobody forces you to. it makes me laugh how Mccall always says the fans have been fantastic....its a lie, every home match the away fans are louder than us, only the carlsberg stand sings together properly, before kick off when the squadlist is read out, the away fans cheer every1 of their players, none of our fans seem to give a ****, most of them seem to be more bothered talking about rugby or the premiership 12.15 kick off than cheering our players. who gives a **** who is playing in the premier league, it doesnt concern us, we dont support them, we are city til we die and we should be shouting and cheering for that full 90 minutes.

We do have some excellent fans who sing their hearts out, and it is not those that im talking about, its the ones who are quiet for 70 minutes and then just shout **** like 'daley your useless' or 'Johnson you shitbag' or '****in do sumthin Colbeck!' etc etc. If you dont have anything constructive to say, dont say it. At the moment we are stuck in a rut, if you tell players they are ****, they will play ****, and they wont want 2 play for us.

We have the biggest attendance in our league by a country mile, and wwe do not use it to our advantage, i bet there are plenty more grounds in this division who have 5000 fans that are louder and more supportive than our 12000. to me, every saturday should be a party atmosphere and cheering our team on, because we are all there for the same reason!

So basically its the fans fault then?

ffs I'll stop going as I refuse to be blamed for the **** we are in right now.:poo:

[CTID86]

no, its not thee fans fault at all. im just saying, we have an advantage yet we dont seem to wwant to use it. its 90 minutes every 2 weeks, we shud just get behind them more. Basically, wwe are the supporters, all im saying is that we should start supporting them more instead of abusing them.

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

Grow up sonny or go on the OMB ffs - feeble talk indeed - I'm 44 now and I won't sing me heart out for 90 minutes, mainly because I still want some energy for when i get home to bang the Mrs ok?

worked against accrington and morecambe didnt it????

are you bantam gunner :rolleyes:

[CTID86]

haha, well thats fair enuff. I aint going to the OMB, or....hang on a minute....is that for the real fans or something cause you all bang on about it. FFS we are all supposed to support the same team but every1 bickers between themselves about ****. Best fans in the world? i think not! Its a joke. If people want to support a club that doesnt need help, go support man utd. The truth is we support a league 2 side, and 7-8000 of the fans that turn up wouldnt be there if the season ticket prices wernt so low.....not real fans. Id turn up if we were a bunch of shitbags who had to play on a muddy field in the middle of no where, but thats just me. Football is about passion, some people dont have it.

To comment on an earlier message. If i wont the euro millions, damn right id give some money to city, but it would be a donation, i would definitely not want to own this club, its a **** job. Id buy a club like Lancaster City, a nice city, the fans are loyal in their downfall, and its a club where they dont expect the world even though its a well sized city and neighbouring Preston are miles head of them. Bradford fans expect the world, and why?........because we had 2 seasons in the premier league nearly a bloody decade ago! its in the past, we aint going back

[CTID86]

The carlsberg stand was fantastic against Accrington, but thats how it should be every match, not just because we are 2-0 down

ok well if there no point the fans cheering then wats the point in us all going? we might as well all stay at home next saturday then eh? If u aint there to get behind the team then wtf do you go for?
you probably live 5 mins from the ground and are on here at 5.05pm on a saturday slating the team, slating the performance and the board, haha wats the point, u may aswell have stayed at home. We support a pretty bad team and we are gunna get tanked sometimes, but hey everybody, lets not cheer them on because it doesnt help one bit

10 mins and ill slate the team if they are **** and praise them when they have done well and i ask myself constantly why i bother going

[CTID86]

lol fantastic! If you dont want to go, dont go, no one makes you, im sure you could find less stressful things to do on a saturday afternoon, because we all want an easy life.

If JR and ML gave control of this club to the 'loyal' fans, it would fold within weeks! all we have to do is go on a saturday and SUPPORT them, yet some people cant even be bothered to do that, but can be bothered to come on here 7 days a week and talk about how **** we are

When my team try their hardest and fight for every ball I will cheer them on as that is all I can ask.

However when we are lied to week after week and you and your mates say we must support unconditionally regardless of the lies and the tinning out of tackles and hands on waist kind of "I am knackered" when they have done feck all, well then thats when I for one am well pissed of.

[CTID86]

me and my mates? haha i go and watch City on my own because none of my mates support them. we all hate being lied to, but all im saying is, its not the players' fault that we are lied to, ill bet you they are all lied to just as much as us. If you were Daley or Bower or whoever, would u wanna play for us? i dont think so

They play for wages, not for the fans not for the shirt. Bower is a Bradford lad so maybe he has more attachment to City.

Daley is only looking for another better paid job ( and nothing wrong with that ) so kills the "would u wanna play for us " ace card you played.

[CTID86]

wot the fek is a ned flanders fan? talk propeer english or go to the OMB.....haha ey, i can say OMB too. Without the fans they dont get wages, they are people just like us, if they play ****, we get relegated and they are out of a job and have to move to another part of the country. Look at MBW, stockport to bradford to carlisle. do u really think he wants to move house that often, if a player likes the place and likes the club and the fans, he will play better so that he doesnt have to leave

Who said he has moved house each time? Not me. I have worked all over the North of England but never moved out of West Yorkshire. So he has played in Stockport ( 1 hour to West Yorkshire ) to Carlisle (2 hours ) nowt much for a four hour day is it?
