    Match Thread Bradford City vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Oct

    Well now you know.................that was our 1st/2nd best performance of the season, for a few parts we were ok, but for larger parts, utterly shambolic, we didn't need to be told that we are going down.......if you had taken your chances it could have been a horrific scoreline. To think we...

    We have conceded 22 and scored 10 goals in 14 games, I think 7 are from open play..................... I would swap all our "strikers" for Jordi Hiwula.

    Match Thread Bradford City vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Oct

    In a nutshell, Parkinson met the new owners and buggered off to Bolton sharpish. Without a squad the owners made their one & only sensible decision, employ a guy who can get the fans onside, they didn't want him. He cobbled together a team that got to the play off final, on a mid table budget...

    Match Thread Bradford City vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Oct

    Bradford fans expect you to hand us a right hiding, I don't think many would expect a point and I'd be amazed if anybody thought we'd get a win right now. Personally, I think you'll win by 2 or 3 goals, we are now that bad. After long term improvement under stable ownership and management, who...

    Never a penalty in million years. Super hard league to get out of, not long ago I thought you'd miss the play offs. They'll be deflated now. good luck in the 2nd leg.

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    You might be right. But after reading other thread a lot of the same things being said now on here are startlingly similar to what was said on Bradford boards in 2007, "Can't get any lower", "Back to back promotions" etc, Enthusiasm returns as you think Coventry might actually go straight up...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    You might though. I think when we went down to L2 our crowds had dropped to about 7.5k. After 6/7 seasons of struggle our 3rd relegation coincided with the cheap deal, they were not sold on the back of a promotion or a match at Wembley, yet 15000 people bought them, a good % of whom hadn't...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    I think there is a point comparing with Bradford, we have a similar hardcore & latent support to Coventry and also do not own our stadium but we'll soon have trouble finding seats for new ST holders. It shows that Coventry can do what Bradford do, "can't do" is nonsense, we shipped 15000 ST's...

    Really pleased for you all today. I can only I hope that the support & publicity flushes out a sensible, solid investor like what happened with us & our German owners.

    Bradford Season tickets.

    You have got it! I actually think CCFC & BCFC have similar potential to tap into, we have a bigger fan catchment but because we have mostly underachieved our entire existence we have a smaller latent fan base IMO. The low prices were introduced firstly as we dropped into L2 to coincide with the...

    The mammoth sum Coventry City owners Sisu would need to walk away without loss

    When our club was sold to a German businessman last summer, I'd imagine it was for not more than a very few £m. L1, going places, 18k St holders but with no tangible assets beyond the players & supporters and football league status (We don't own VP, the Flamingo Land pension fund does) ...

    Bradford Season tickets

    Well that is one side of the story! The cost of season ticket for an adult for next season is £149, I know as I've just bought 2. They then go up £20 for a period, then go up another £30, finally after April, it's £299. I think that it is fair to say that most will be sold at...

    Can Robins Perform A Miracle ?

    No chance, you are down. I do hope you win at Wembley, refuse to buy any ST's, SISU give up and you can move forward with the Wembley fan momentum. Us up Satdi and we've been playing well from day one, we've just drawn too many games and nobody can really put a finger on why. We don't really...

    Slade gone

    That's a good shout, when Parkinson walked out and left us in the lurch, despite Evans being the pantomime villain in Bradford with both Crawley & Rovrum, many Bradford fans wanted him as the new manager. His record at Leeds is bloody good, and that was before they became stable, look at his...

    Nathan Clarke

    Hmm, looked poor.............. all I can say is he was never first choice at Bradford, but every time he came in, we never missed whoever was injured, he never put a foot wrong and the fans took to him, playing as he did yet knowing held be dumped as soon as McArdle (or whoever) recovered. But...

    Nathan Clarke

    He's played very well, early on he was surprisingly a CB partnering another new arrival (& another poached captain) Knight-Percival from Shrewsbury. RV looked a better CB than him, but teams started targeting him, we already a small team and at 5'10" he was struggling under the barrage of high...

    Nathan Clarke

    Not wanting to stick the boot in (not at all) but you are the worst team, by far, in L1. Is it a coincidence an experienced CB looks poor now and again? We let him go because we had too many good CB's, straight after he went we lost Matt Killgallon for the season, then Vincelot's lack of height...

    Is it presumptuous to say that Wimbledon away is a must win?

    You are down, is it 2 points from the last 30? Come on, time to focus on the next step, not staying up.

    Relegation thread

    I think you are as good as down, you need 3 or 4 wins more than the other strugglers, out of the remaining games? Having won 4 all season? Sorry, but to an outsider, relegation is nailed on. Bury have Vaughan who may score them out of trouble, Oldham were a really tight group on Saturday, if...

    Nathan Clarke

    I'd take Clarke over Vincelot at CB, but we also have Rory McArdle who is better than both. Good to hear Nathan put in a good display after playing so little this season.
