Bradford travel well but I doubt there is a need to open the bank for maybe 300 or 400 extra at most.
Costs of extra policing and stewarding and staff etc would likely outweigh any benefits financially for the club.

Probably still arguing on next seasons prices.
Does Clem dare to increase the price of them on the back of such a poor season and risk alienating even more for them to decide not to renew - lets be fair there is going to be very few if any new ST holders |

It must be a dilemma for Clem with all cost going up does he lock this seasons prices or increase and run the risk of even less renewing next season. |

He’ll up the prices and then blame the stayway fans for protesting i should think, taking no accountabiltiy whatsoever for this clusterfuck of a couple of seasons. Can read it like a book. |

They could have avoided this by just being "transparent" at the start of the season, being up front and stating that unless we draw FC Massive in the cup, the Stratton Bank will not be utilised for the 24/25 season as the amount of use it's required for is not financialy viable. That way the fans know, lge2 opposition know ahead of time, and the noise goes away. Yes they would have been beat with a stick about it at the time and had it held over their head, but at least it would have been once, rather than every time a team sells out it's initial allocation.

Probably worried that the weight of the flag will cause the Bank to collapse

I suggest the club rethink this decision. |

The amount of stuff chucked on top of the seats behind the goal I cannot see that the flag is too big. FFS.
It would fit in the space no problem.

This is pathetic. Its a fucking flag for god sake, what harm is it having it tied to the bank if no-one is sat there. Hardly a risk is it. As you say, its a shame as he played for both clubs |

Rockin Robin sits on the bank occasionally. Surely he weighs more than that flag must? |

With pleasure, who fucking knows, if the structure is as poor as some suggest (and considering the wind tunnel (TM)) I'm not sure I'd (or probably more importantly my insurers) would want to be attaching what amounts to a fucking great big unaccompanied sail to 100 year+ old made ground). As with everything else communication and presentation is key, if there is a legit reason say so as if you don't hares will be fucking off all over the place! |

The official supporters club have said the issue is due to the size of the flag. We've already got a whacking great Nuffield Health one on there though don't we?
