I make about 19-20 in that pic. bear in mind it could include under 19s too. didnt someone say bastian was ringing round them earlier to get ones back on board who havent found other clubs yet?. suspect any 17 we put out on sunday will be a core of first teamers with u19s making numbers up. further 1st team sigings and loans will continue coming in for next couple of weeks i'd imagine.

So now we've established that our best players are all goners, and that we can't afford players like that, and seemingly the full-time squad will be limited in number, and we've no new money, and we start on minus 12, and they won't get a penny from the season ticket sales previously made, the next interesting question will be:

How much do they believe the fans will pay to be served up this fare? Or is it too soon to announce new season ticket prices and start selling them?

Pre-admin sales were merely at an early bird price.

Jack the price up for those who weren't fooled.

That'll learn em.

I agree with some that AOB, Moss and Chissy were class but obviously we can't afford them so shut up and crack on.

One of the most sensible points I've read on here in a while.

And its true, I think there has been the very real possibility at many points in the last 8 weeks of there being no club in Bradford at all, so a Bradford team walking out on Sunday in any guise is a major positive. It might not be in the league we would have choosen, and might be hamstrung with the minus points, no money, not many quality players - yet, and needing to win games straight off the mark against all odds...but at least its a Bradford club, and I suppose this season, at least for us, every minute really will matter! (except maybe the last 75odd mins against HKR in week 1;) )

The last 2 years have been a major league disappointment and hard to even watch.
I would rather watch a team like Dewsbury or Batley giving it rock all to win than what we have been served up with, and its come at a £1m+ wage bill which bust the club.[/quote]

I fully agree with you and would happily watch a "scratch" outfit battling to stay up had they not been burdened by the 12 point deduction which makes the task almost impossible. This season is a write off before it's begun (unless there really is a "master plan") and we can't begin to rebuild until 2018 - that's if we last that long.
Just how much will people pay to watch heavy defeats week in and week out?

No wonder our threads go into 100's of pages. We've just had a page and a ahlf that anybody with an interest could have looked at. Are we suffering from Real Information Deficit?

No, they weren't.

Green never did 'early bird', that came from owners before him, it certainly used to be common, from the Caisley era at least.
