How about no flag and we show our appriciation in other ways? Like encouraging others to come to games, been more positive & getting behind the team a bit more as this is what Dean really wants. can you tell me how to encourage others to come to games? There used to be about 15 of us going together but now there's only 2. People who don't buy a season ticket cos of other commitments Can't afford the walk up price and feel cheated by stupid category abcd pricing. I really find the experience of watching Town at home hard to sell. |

Dean is our chairman. We want to celebrate that. Cringe away.

I think it should be a big banner that says "Dean, please show more ambition...just kidding, please don't sell to a crazy tax-evading Italian guy"

Slight play on Cole's banners- an alternative perhaps.  |

A club "lacking in direction" doesn't improve every year since DH took over. The direction has been and is; up. But thanks for helping by not turning up (how do you know the performances are indifferent?). |

Sorry detox, but if those are the reasons 4 of you have stopped going, then I'm dissapointed. Indifferent performances happen at every club, part of football. Dire atmosphere, that's part of your remit as a supporter to create an atmosphere. Pricing categories, would you rather the club charged more for the low demand games, thus deterring supporters,? Finishing outside the relegation zone, that's anywhere from 21st up to 7th. If you think we should be targeting a play off spot, with a realistic budget, get your cheque book out. |

Finishing outside the relegation zone, that's anywhere from 21st up to 7th. If you think we should be targeting a play off spot, with a realistic budget, get your cheque book out. I don't mind indifference if there is a bit of oomph, but too many games we have set up negatively and stopped the harrassing and harrying we employ in some games... I like to see effort, then I can forgive most other things.. As for the atmosphere, well I do cheer and shout,sing and clap as it happens..despite the strange looks I get from fellow fans like they are thinking 'what are you doing mate' ...like it's 'uncool' to get involved the game..too (dare I say it) working class ? As for the match categories..let's be clear here..they exist purely to milk the away supporters (due to the rules on pricing)...the fact the casual fans are also victims of this seems to by-pass the club...which when you think about it is a pretty naff approach if the aim is to get more of the floaters down on a regular basis ? Even the buy 10 SC idea has got wrapped up in match categories rather than being a simple version like full SC's is...imagine the club pricing SC's next season saying you pay £200 down payment then £x at the match (after you have been to the ticket office first) depending on the match category...... As for ambition, well, if only we were ever anywhere near 7th..or 10th...or even the top half... I reckon in the 2 3/4 years we've been in the championship we have spent 99% of the time in the bottom 10.. we've finished 19th, 17th and I don't expect we'll be finishing above 17th this season.......Did we do anything in the transfer window ?...have we brought in loan players (Miller apart) ...no, we'd already settled for lower mid table in January...that's the message I get ...the season will fizzle out...the SC's will be out on offer in a couple of months and the promise of 'summer signings' will no doubt be the message.... I'm not unrealistic, I know the financial limitations...but at least the club could exude a bit of ambition and pazzazz...Dean has gone quiet, the club bosses have been banned from twitter it seems..the dynamics are missing....new ideas absent....I just find it dull,boring and monotonous most of the time... even when we do put in a good show, and win...we're not going anywhere are we...not this season anyway...it's not my idea of entertainment...at least with jacko and buxton there was some oomph about it all |

Agree with you about the confusing pricing but thats not a huge issue is it. Youre a league 1 fan by the sound of it.
Enjoy it when we're winning and up near the top so taking small steps up a higher level isn't for you.
the football quality and atmosphere is massively better than it was in League 1 in my opinion.
Each to their own- Id rather finish 4th bottom of the championship than anywhere in league 1.

As I live out of the country 8 months of the year I have to pay the walk up prices which isn't always easy after games like the Reading FA cup tie, but the games like Brentford and Bolton games make up for that. Still get to see more quality than the league 1 days even if the results are less consistent or attractive. No doubt some of these fans will be returning in 5 years when we win the league  |

WAY too wordy IMO.

Or his face with ' CARSLBERG DON'T DO CHAIRMEN...' written above it.

Is there a back up plan if the target is not reached? Donations seem to have dried up. Its a shame, given all that Deano has done for our club.

I'd rather not extend it to be honest, and we shouldn't have to.
I'm still not convinced we've found a flag design that ticks all the boxes, I think we need to nail down a couple of definite designs this week.
Every pound counts people.

I think you should nail down the design and then re-launch it. At the moment folk don't know what they're contributing to other than a gesture. That should be enough in itself but I feel a definite proposal with the design and wording shown will attract further money.

I'm sure a massive part of the Bradford Fire flag's support was due to the simplistic but effective wording that we had finalised early doors. |
