On just about every issue they do.

The article almost made Sunday's experience sound worse than it was. All we need now is for the team to run out to an upbeat Morrisey number. Overdoses all round.

Girlfriend in a Coma is quite jaunty.

Not being an officianado but isn't there one that goeas "Heaven knows I'm miserable now". That would be perfect.

Morrissey would be positively upbeat. I'm thinking Joy Division is more appropriate at the moment!

New Dawn Fades?

Atrocity Exhibition?

He's lost Control?

Yes - Atmosphere - "Don't walk away in Silence" (at least not until the second half's kicked off).





Funnily enough this is the second home game that saw people leaving early on mass in a row and it's the second time in a row that the golden gamble hasn't been claimed. - Coincidence?



This could give the club a new angle for marketing attendance at matches as it quite literally pays to stay.

I worry that we may be past the Morrissey stage. We're probably at defcon Leonard Cohen now.

He is also a crap journalist who writes poor articles, must have him on the cheap at the T&A

The main difference between now and the early sixties is the fact that the club closed because of indifference, and the fact that no one cared. I still recall standing on the terrace with about 300 cold and lonely souls as once again we watched a non performing team at the final game of the old Northern.

At least Dave Craven's article makes one realise the club is going downhill, and a string of dreadful performances will not attract anyone. How a team can be world beaters one week, and the next a side that could be beaten by a lower league side I'd never imagine.

I would like to see one or two of the young sters have games, at least it may show that we do have some talent in the wings.

I would offer my services to the T&A but somehow I feel my insight is too penetrating and too close to the mark - too much to swallow for your average pundit.

Oh dear. Bigmouth Strikes Again.

And if a double decker bus crashes into us.....would it be the 508 or the 72?

I dunno squire, but the pleasure and the priviledge will be mine.

Damn - I was hoping to use that as an answer to potential replies

I was actually hoping somebody mentioned a "ten tonne truck" so that I could have used my Solomona gag.

Maybe the club need to do something to help the atmosphere, if that gets better the players may just feel we're backing them and actually start to beat a few more teams. We beat a few more teams and maybe more people come.



At Edinburgh they gave out noise sticks and some sort of clappers, surely there cheap enough to do and would be a great hit with the kids and a few others. Brand them to the club and give them away for free maybe or sell them at a nominal level or give them away to the people who buy golden gamble tickets.



Improving is a two way thing i guess and it would be nice to see the club do something, didn't some fans come with flags to us earlier this season?

Was i right,or was i right?



Looks like craven has been reading this forum,well maybe not as it's not rocket science is it afterall?

Concerns raised in a high profile (in Bradford) manner, and immediately the club announce a fans forum.



Good work Mr Craven, if indeed it was your idea in the first place.

It appears that someone else has been reading my posts!

Dave Craven must have loved writing that, he makes it seem a lot worse than it is.

I dunno how many season ticket holders we have this year. But it must have been pretty close to base level last weekend. If you consider that the majority of the crowd would / could have been season ticket holders and then factor in the "Kid for a quid" deal then i reckon there must have been almost no revenue from the gate against Crusaders. The franchise money for the pies etc will also have been paid in advance, so without sponsorship and the Sky deal it would have been a near catastrophe in revenue terms simply staging the game.



Oh and for the record I personally think the new song should not be Morrisey but perhaps The Smiths "Every day is like (last) Sunday"

I'm no fan of Dave Craven, but, I felt pretty much that way as I trudged out of the ground
