If it was 2 per ST (which most fans thought it would be), with our ST/flexicard holders that would be about 20,000 tickets. There would be no way Wembley/FL would allow 12,000+ to go on general sale and would most likely reduce it to a few thousand. So its very likely if we didn't take up the 3 per ST condition we would be forced into having less support.

I've got my ticket so dont mind, and i'm sure you've all got yours so you don't give a monkeys for the unfortunate, so I know i'm not going to be supported by many but can somebody just acknowledge that this sale has been a palarver at best, which could easily have been averted and allowed more genuine City fans to attend. Oh, and it looks like quite a few of the Club Wembley seats are empty tonight for Englan v Brazil. I dread to think how many vacent red seats wil be visible come the 24th.

" but can somebody just acknowledge that this sale has been a palaver at best, which could easily have been averted and allowed more genuine City fans to attend" I'd say apart from the fans abroad Wembley we will have around 9,500 GENUINE fans watching them as this is the average home crowd this season and up to 23,000+ hangers on who are out to enjoy the day including my party of of us 9 in total,life is far from fair let's see how many of those 23,000 hangers on will boost our next home game against Gillingham this Saturday ?? I won't hold my breath we'll be lucky if we break 11,000.

Have to agree with that. I've heard a lot of people complaining about the prices and how Bradford City are just trying to make a bit if extra cash. However the ticket prices are also set by Wembley and the FA. Roll on the 24th. Be interesting to see how many we get Saturday!

No, sorry, by the 'tried, tested and proven method', i meant permitting each Season Ticket holder to purchase two Wembley tickets each. I dont think anyone would have batted an eye in the slightest if this had been the case, and anyone asking for 3 would have been called a bit of a cheeky little tinker. I see your point regarding the Flexi Card however most people who live in London and travel the South watching City away every other week, covering a lot of miles at extra cost, probably didnt even know about the existance of a Flexi Card. And lets be honest, if somebody works away/works shifts or is simply happy to pay £20 on the gate, 8 or 10 times per year, surely this is of financial benefit to the club? I just think giving ST holders two Wembley tickets would have been fair to all, wheras allocating three has been very kind to one group and very harsh to others. At the end of the day, we are all City fans and i think being fair to everyone would have been, well, errrrr, fair!

The club could never make every fan happy so they are damned if the do and damned if they don't, one thing is for sure if the club had gone for 2 tickets per season/flexi ticket holder and the rest on open sale, there would have been a hell of a lot more in the hands of ticket touts than there are with the present system, I don't condone any season/flexi ticket holder buying 3 and then selling 2 on at a profit, but I stand by my original comment re £25 for a flexi ticket is no major outlay for a fan to guarantee a Wembley Play off ticket,£25 for a flexi and attend 2 home games = £45, no flexi and 2 home games £40 hardly rocket science, attending away games puts NOTHING in the Bradford City coffers.

Not just about money mate, not now anyway. More about a fair crack of the whip. But, sadness on my part to one side as I am a genuine fan of many years and I do want to go, I agree that it's a no win really and the likelihood of the extras bought by season ticket holders being sold to other local city fans (plastic or otherwise) is higher than general sale. Still doesn't change the fact that some of them are being touted and surely they could do something to track these to discourage profiteering. Anyhow, all the best to those that have the fortune to be there.

Think the system is fine. For the last god knows how many seasons we have had gates consisting of about 9k regular season ticket holders plus about 3k occasional others. So there aint more than those 3-4k who can really claim to be genuinely at risk of missing out. And given most people who go to city even occasionally or have a genuine interest in the club are likely to know season ticket holders many of those 3-4k will have been catered for by friends already. So i dont buy anyone claiming there is a mass hard done to crowd out there. If we've sold 29k there are still 4k tickets left and that is plenty given our normal non season ticket attendances. There is always time to buy a season ticket for the rest of this season people and then get your wembley tickets before they go on general sale!

I very much doubt Wembley/The FA would force the 3 tickets per season ticket, on any club. I have never heard of it being implemented before, including for any of the many previous Play Off final / Johnny Paint Final / FA Trophey matches etc (including 1996 obviousley). If they were so bothered, they would print the buyers name on the tickets like several concert promoters now do.

And so much for the assumption that the 9,000+ season ticket holders would leave plenty of tickets spare.

We have to face that this is a well intentioned decision made by BCFC which has turned a fabulous occassion into a nightmare for many. And a quick look online shows that the tout market is in full flow thanks to Season Ticket holders who are selling spares.

I also disagree with this 'preferential system' for the general sale (yes, before I even know the terms of it!) because by its very nature, it is again going to leave severa loyal fans wanting, and frozen out, thus again feeding the black market and putting City fans money into touts (some of which are City fans) pockets. If the terms are that you must have an Arsenal/Villa stub, these will simply be passed from friends to friends defeating the object.

I might be old fasioned but why not say, 2 per season ticket holder, and a week later, the rest go on general sale, online, on the phone and at the club shop, first come first served. Simple.

I'd be interested to hear how different people define loyalty. Does the fact that someone has a season ticket/flexi card actually make them more loyal than someone who attends many matches across the country but few home games? Is someone more loyal because they have, or have had, a season ticket for the past few years, shall we say prem days onwards, than someone who has actively supported the club for decades but doesn't own a season ticket? I think the club should have limited ST holders to 2 per ticket, limited the window for general sale and offered any remainders back to ST holders on a first come first served basis.

Giving priority during the 'not so' general sale, to folks with season tickets for next season (who havent already bought 3 tickets using the allocation for having this seasons ST) makes sense. And by the club and Baldwins own admission, we do not have the facilities or staff to cope with fans queing at VP so this would shift more tickets using the online system.

Theres no 'infering' about it, if you Google 'Capital cup final ticket', the first two pages bring up at least EIGHT sites, selling bog standard £40 tickets for £155 upwards, and thats not including the 30% tax, plus additional postage = £210 + per ticket. And theres no way that the sellers details are going to be disclosed by the agent as they arent obliged in law to do this so why should they? They would lose money and customers would just go to rival sites who abide by confidentiality agreements.

When all's said and done, wether your a loyal ST holder or not, money talks, and as you can see from the multitude of posts over the last few weeks, who cares about non ST/Flexi holders, i've got a ticket, im alright.

Long live the Bradford Army, the community spirited family club with a close knit, well bonded following that excludes nobody, like a band of brothers, we all watch each others backs no matter what.

I just hope that should this cup run take it all out of the lads and the season fizzles out in another mid table finish, we arent going to rely on the 20,000 Wembley One Off's to keep coming to games. The cost of excluding proven supporters during this period of frivolity may prove costly.

T'City are for life, not just for Wembley.

You do write some absolute crap fella. Firstly, please post some of these URLs that you claim show Bradford City tickets being sold at inflated prices....!

Secondly, you say this (3 per person) hasn't happened before. How many cup finals have you seen where a low tier side gets to a MAJOR cup final, played in front of 90k fans? No, the 3 per person rule may not have been used before, but then again, this isn't a standard situation...!

You keep banging on about helping 'loyal supporters'. Sorry, but if they are that loyal, they would either have a season ticket themselves, a flexi or a mate that could sell them one of their 3 entitlement....!

By giving a ST/FC holder the chance to buy 3 tickets, it rewards those that stuck with the club. Those regulars know who their friends are, what teams (if any) they support and whether they should be eligible for a ticket. By putting them on general sale (on a first come, first served basis), anybody could buy them and we could end up with 10k non-City fans in the City end.

I have a season ticket and have renewed each season since I was in my late teens. I have children now, but if you get your way, I would only be able to take one child, meaning the other misses out. How is that fair on me, someone who has been supportive for many years?

My wife now buys my season ticket and is happy for me to get out and enjoy my other passion. Are you saying I shouldn't be able to 'reward' her for her patience when I often arrived home with a black cloud above my head?

Just so a fan, that no longer attends, gets a chance to re-live their glory days....! Give it a rest. It could be worse, you could be a Swansea fan, without a season ticket and a minimum spend.....!

I also disagree with this 'preferential system' for the general sale (yes, before I even know the terms of it!) because by its very nature, it is again going to leave severa loyal fans wanting, and frozen out, thus again feeding the black market and putting City fans money into touts (some of which are City fans) pockets. If the terms are that you must have an Arsenal/Villa stub, these will simply be passed from friends to friends defeating the object.

I might be old fasioned but why not say, 2 per season ticket holder, and a week later, the rest go on general sale, online, on the phone and at the club shop, first come first served. Simple.

You come across as a not a very nice Bradford City fan. As somebody has said there will be to you definition at least 20 000 disloyal fans sitting around you at Wembley cheering the team on, me including. Enjoy the occasion.

I assume by your above comment" by using tried, tested and proven methods, i.e. 2 per ST" you mean the two home games against Arsenal & Villa well it would have been difficult to give season ticket holders 3 as Valley Parade only holds 25,000 and we have 9,500 season/flexi ticket holders and we had to give away fans X% of the tickets, life is cruel and I feel for the overseas City fans as they could not be expected to purchase a season/flexi ticket to watch the lads, BUT Bradford City fans who live away from Bradford could have purchased a flexi ticket for £25, now at the start of this season it was well documented the board had given Phil Parkinson a very good budget for this season with the brief to get Bradford City promoted,so if these fans had faith in the club a £25 flexi ticket would have guaranteed them a ticket to Wembley to a play off final and of course a massive bonus with a ticket for Wembley to watch us in the "Capital One Cup" final. " but can somebody just acknowledge that this sale has been a palaver at best, which could easily have been averted and allowed more genuine City fans to attend" I'd say apart from the fans abroad Wembley we will have around 9,500 GENUINE fans watching them as this is the average home crowd this season and up to 23,000+ hangers on who are out to enjoy the day including my party of of us 9 in total,life is far from fair let's see how many of those 23,000 hangers on will boost our next home game against Gillingham this Saturday ?? I won't hold my breath we'll be lucky if we break 11,000.

No, sorry, by the 'tried, tested and proven method', i meant permitting each Season Ticket holder to purchase two Wembley tickets each. I dont think anyone would have batted an eye in the slightest if this had been the case, and anyone asking for 3 would have been called a bit of a cheeky little tinker. I see your point regarding the Flexi Card however most people who live in London and travel the South watching City away every other week, covering a lot of miles at extra cost, probably didnt even know about the existance of a Flexi Card. And lets be honest, if somebody works away/works shifts or is simply happy to pay £20 on the gate, 8 or 10 times per year, surely this is of financial benefit to the club? I just think giving ST holders two Wembley tickets would have been fair to all, wheras allocating three has been very kind to one group and very harsh to others. At the end of the day, we are all City fans and i think being fair to everyone would have been, well, errrrr, fair!

The club could never make every fan happy so they are damned if the do and damned if they don't, one thing is for sure if the club had gone for 2 tickets per season/flexi ticket holder and the rest on open sale, there would have been a hell of a lot more in the hands of ticket touts than there are with the present system, I don't condone any season/flexi ticket holder buying 3 and then selling 2 on at a profit, but I stand by my original comment re £25 for a flexi ticket is no major outlay for a fan to guarantee a Wembley Play off ticket,£25 for a flexi and attend 2 home games = £45, no flexi and 2 home games £40 hardly rocket science, attending away games puts NOTHING in the Bradford City coffers.

Not just about money mate, not now anyway. More about a fair crack of the whip. But, sadness on my part to one side as I am a genuine fan of many years and I do want to go, I agree that it's a no win really and the likelihood of the extras bought by season ticket holders being sold to other local city fans (plastic or otherwise) is higher than general sale. Still doesn't change the fact that some of them are being touted and surely they could do something to track these to discourage profiteering. Anyhow, all the best to those that have the fortune to be there.

Read my posts again my comments are aimed at "British" Bradford City fans who could have purchased a flexi for £25 and got a Capital One Cup final ticket and hopefully a Wembley play off ticket,totaly different set of circumstances for you guys from abroard and you have my sympathy,not that that helps you have you no mates who still attend games who could get you a ticket ?.

I have my nice swanky £100 seat sorted so i'm easy either way, however I simpathise with the way the tickets have been sold.

Firstly, football tickets can not be sold on ebay so thats not going to happen, however they are being sold in large quantities this very second through numerous vendors and online agents at massive mark-ups (£40 ticket is £150, £60 ticket is £170 cheapest!). This is perfectly legal. The only people geting prosecuted by the Police will be those caught selling tickets on Wembley Way on match day. Other than that it is a free for all.

And by reverting to the old classic school yard, im alright Jack argument of 'they should have a ST/Flexi', well, 20,000 of the current ticket holders do not have a ST either, so what makes them so loyal, other than they have a loyal friend who they've cadged a spare off.

A good old fashioned 'que up in the rain' would have been a fairer method than what we have now. At least that would have filtered out a lot Leeds/Hudders fans and plastics who wouldnt even know where the BCFC ticket office is.

The club offered you half-price home tickets based on an initial investment of £25/£50. If you are willing to pay over the odds (full price) then you cannot use your outlay as a justification for your argument.

What else are Mark Lawn and Julian Rhodes supposed to do; other than wipe people's backsides?

I am not trying to justify an arguement merely expressing my dissapointment. A lot of the people "supporting" BCFC at Wembley will never have set foot in ValleyParade nor will they ever after the final.

Can people stop looking at these bogus sites and accusing fans of selling on tickets. Most of the searches bring up dodgy sites that claim they can get tickets. Have you noticed that none of them provided block or seat numbers? They aren't genuine and will end up writing back to advise they have been unable to allocate tickets and offer a refund.

The only tickets that will genuinely be up for sale are the Wembley members ones. My family have 3 STs/FCs and I bought our whole allocation with them. However, I know for a fact who they have gone to and that they will be used by genuine fans (okay, a couple are children, but why shouldn't they experience the day)?

As I said above and reinforced by Dann, there are a large number of people claiming to be City fans but unable to get to games anymore. They now believe the club owes them. However, are they seriously expecting the club to resist the opportunity of attracting 'NEW' fans to the club?

Before City reached the play-off final in 96, our average gate was miniscule, the number of STs even lower. Following that success, we increased our average gates 2 or 3 fold. Many of those were new supporters. It can happen again this time, but not if we reward the fans that have no intention (for personal reasons and I'm not knocking their reasons) of going again next season.......!

I believe we have around 4,500 tickets left. I agree that these should now be offered to new season ticket holders (2013/14) on a 2 per ticket basis. After that, open the website and let any MEMBER (must have registered before the start of 2013) but 1 ticket each.

I'm bored of this debate now. The stay-aways made their choice not to buy a season ticket or flexi and the club made their choice to reward those that did. END OF!!

I live in Bradford, don't have a season ticket or flexicard but have supported them in the past, where are my tickets, boo hoo.

The club are 100% right on how they have done this and are 100% right in making people jump through hoops for the final allocation. I see someone above is moaning about this "priority system" that will be put in place, mainly because they know they haven't bothered to set foot inside VP this season but still think they are entitled to tickets.

I'm sure those who say they have paid in to 10 games this season but don't have a season ticket or flexicard will have bookings to prove this to be the case, after all there are no pay on the day turnstiles at BCFC so they must have been to the ticket office so the ticket office can back them up.

I have all the ticket stubbs for the games that I attended home and away Including the very first game at Notts County that were purhased at the ticket office, as well as as a printout (if required) of the tickets I purchased online and collected from the ground on the day of the game. was aso a season ticket holder for 12 years prior to moving away with work, I class myself as a upporter of the club and not a fan I for one do not believe the club owe me anything other than the opportunity to purchase a ticket

Although I'm not particularly pleased with the three per ST/Flexi holder system I completely understand why it's been done and do not begrudge those who have snapped up their tickets and shared them with friends and family.

I am concerned with the preferential general sale however. Due to my personal circumstances and being based in London I do not have a ST or a flexi card.

An argument I have seen crop up ever since tickets went on sale is "Should have bought a Flexi card" followed up by "Loyal supporters would have"

I haven't been to VP for three years simply as I cannot, therefore I haven't bought a Flexi as it would have simply been a waste of money. Instead I spent the little spare cash I have on trips out to the likes of Gillingham, Barnet, Brentford and Wycombe (see you there Tuesday) and on items from the club shop (picked up and delivered by my parents) therefore I'm gutted that I probably won't be able to follow my beloved Bantams to Wembley.

I hope the club does take the distant fans (especially those abroad) into consideration when distributing the general sale tickets and I sincerely hope I don't have to pay an inflated fee to a tout just so I can be there.

To all the fans who have tickets I offer my hearty congratulations and I hope you all enjoy the day out and sing as loud as you can. I hope to see you there. If not, I shall sit in my local (clad in city gear) and raise a pint to you all.

Sorry but the above poster is correct. Attending away games in the League is great and shows some committment as well as offering vocal support to your team, BUT it puts no money in the clubs coffers as gate receipts are kept by the Home team in League matches. Therefore financially you do not help BCFC. The way to help our club as Mark Lawn says each year is to go out and buy a season ticket or a 50/50 card. If you support the club there is no excuse to not at least buy a 50/50. In my opinion unless you actually put money into the club you are a fan not a supporter. I support my family by providing finances, perhaps I should change and tell them I am just a fan and deserve the same comforts that I currently enjoy without actually contributing financially. See how long that would last. At the end of the day £50 outlay would have guaranteed all these 'fans' tickets to Wembley. Funny how they can suddenly afford to go there? On a final note, the club are likely to offer new season ticket holders and perhaps new 50/50 card holders the first opportunity to get one of the last 4,000 tickets first. Once again you have the chance to show 'support'. But then there is no pleasing some people, I am sure many would have happily given all the tickets to the likes of the Second West boozers who would rather sit and do the horses and pools coupons on a Saturday than venture down to actually support their local club.

Like quite a few posters on this thread, don't quite see what the problem is. Surely an outlay of £50 for a flexi was a no brainer for those not going to all the games at Valley Parade. Like i said in a previous post on this thread, four BCFC fans from Ireland bought four Flexi cards and they've been able to come over twice to watch games at VP...now they along with other family members will be there at Wembley. They decided to get the flexi's even though they new they would be for limited use only, to support the football club. I HAVE got sympathy for those BCFC fans that haven't got tickets but the club couldn't IMO have handled the selling of Wembley tickets any better.

I have no issue with the way the club has managed ticket distribution at all, it's a perfectly fair system.

It could have been heartache for me, I've been lucky but I'd have only had myself to blame, those of you in the same situation, take it on board and don't take the risk next year!!

If I were and ST/Flexi card holder who's bought extra tickets to profit, my personal feeling is you should hang your heads in shame rather than boasting about it. Just because you don't have an ST or flexi card doesn't mean your not a Bradford fan, hell we should be encouraging these people who like me won't take the risk of not investing in the future.

If b chance the club go down the route of wanting people to produce game ticket stubs - I have a few!!

This ^^ is probably the most balanced and accurate post this whole thread

The arguements coming from ST holders is quite frankly laughable. Im sure a lot of these would rather not have the club build on the "lucky" success this season and hope that attendances dont increase next season so they can all gather round and moan about the "plastics" or glory hunters.

For gods sake get a grip and grow up out of the its them and use mentality

The club have done well to get where they are and deserve the support on the day from all whether they are at Wembley or watching on tv. Just because your a ST holder doesnt mean you are "better" fan than someone that isnt.

Get a grip people

Yes it does, the ST and flexi card holders have done exactly as asked by the club. Buy early, give us a playing budget, give us an idea of what that playing budget will be. This is both supportive and VFM, it allows the club to budget and also, due to the price gives value to SUPPORTERS.

This has been a six season mantra, ignored by those who are now crying or in fear of not getting a ticket for the club they love so dearly.

Barlacks.

If they are potential supporters, after the Wigan and Arsenal wins do you not think that the tempting £25 flexi the club made available at Xmas would have turned potential into actual?

The reason it didn't is because they are not SUPPORTERS but possible casual fans, not casual enough as our crowds remain failrly static.

The attempt to balance this holds no water with anyone at the club either, they are very happy with the distribution of tickets. Check Dave Baldwin's twitter comments. Hard work but has rewarded those who have supported the club. I bow to the hard work and dedictaion by all involved at City this season. Their efforts have been rewarded.

I see you are clearly on the "them and us" arguement.

Fact is whether supporting the team at Wembley, in the pub, at home or up Mount Everest its all good and all fans are equal.

I just dont understand the divisions between certain ST ticket holders who think they are somehow better than everyone else who support the team.

Lets put things into perspective please. 12 years ago our fan base was fairly substantial (at least for a 50 year + City fan) but there have been fall-offs as we plumeted the divisions. Those fans who have stuck with the club are heros and deserve support from the club and 3/ST/FC might be see as that. Ok there are lots who are going to miss out but life moves on and if you were a season ticket holder 6-9 years ago just appreciate we who have stuck by miserable footalling standards at VP. I see this as my reward for over 20 years with a ST - yes I had second thoughts 2 seasons ago but stuck in there. This season was always going to be better and I had no doubts I would be in my usual seat. There are genuine hard luck stories and I'm not cold to these people. But its a fact of life that those who can demonstrate their current support will receive preference
We might be 4th division but we are a big city club with a relatively large regular crowd. Look at the Fleetwood crowd they would need to offer 10 tickets per supporter (not ST holders) to fill their end - but theres only one Bradford City and only one fourth teir cub to get to a major up Wembley final. Not helpful to those who will miss out this time but you know what to do for next time?

Sorry but the above poster is correct. Attending away games in the League is great and shows some committment as well as offering vocal support to your team, BUT it puts no money in the clubs coffers as gate receipts are kept by the Home team in League matches. Therefore financially you do not help BCFC. The way to help our club as Mark Lawn says each year is to go out and buy a season ticket or a 50/50 card. If you support the club there is no excuse to not at least buy a 50/50. In my opinion unless you actually put money into the club you are a fan not a supporter. I support my family by providing finances, perhaps I should change and tell them I am just a fan and deserve the same comforts that I currently enjoy without actually contributing financially. See how long that would last. At the end of the day £50 outlay would have guaranteed all these 'fans' tickets to Wembley. Funny how they can suddenly afford to go there? On a final note, the club are likely to offer new season ticket holders and perhaps new 50/50 card holders the first opportunity to get one of the last 4,000 tickets first. Once again you have the chance to show 'support'. But then there is no pleasing some people, I am sure many would have happily given all the tickets to the likes of the Second West boozers who would rather sit and do the horses and pools coupons on a Saturday than venture down to actually support their local club.

I live in Bradford, don't have a season ticket or flexicard but have supported them in the past, where are my tickets, boo hoo.

The club are 100% right on how they have done this and are 100% right in making people jump through hoops for the final allocation. I see someone above is moaning about this "priority system" that will be put in place, mainly because they know they haven't bothered to set foot inside VP this season but still think they are entitled to tickets.

I'm sure those who say they have paid in to 10 games this season but don't have a season ticket or flexicard will have bookings to prove this to be the case, after all there are no pay on the day turnstiles at BCFC so they must have been to the ticket office so the ticket office can back them up.

the opportunity to add 5000 new season ticket holders at a stroke was lost with 3 per ST ...

2 per ST and 13/14 ST purchases qualify...

I wont now be buying a 13/14 st ..but i will be spending the money on 2 web touted face value tickets for £200 each ..

I go to matches ... i have a brick with our family name on in the Stand .... i was at wembley in 96 ..
i was there when we beat wolves to get promoted .. i watched waddle score at Everton from his own half ..

i was there when wetherall scored to keep us in the premier league ..

then i had to have a sabatical .. with 3 young children .... football has to be limited for 4 /5 years ...unless you are a tozer ..

So for my under 10 boys , the only chance of them being the next generation of ST holders / fans now ... lies with me paying through the nose ..to get us to Wembley ..

they often ask why do we support Bradford dad ?

i tell them that is where we are from ..but in their case its not strictly true !!

The complaints should NOT tarnish the teams superb achievement that could help bring city back from the brink as a club.. and even city ..

Well done City .. now by some miracle , probably the biggest ever in English football , win the cup !!

We should be proud that we have more loyal fans than most clubs in divisions 1 and 2 (and even some in the Chamionship)
I live in Ireland - see all the night games (inc Capital1 cup) - I have got 2 tickets for Wembley from a friend with 3 Season Tickets - does anyone actually know a genuine loyal fan who has not got a ticket yet.
The club get 45% of the revenue from Sales of their allocation and have to be admired for again maximising the cash they get from this achievment by the 3 ticket allocation. I would rather see 32,000 people cheering on the lads than having 10,000 tickets left in Bradford waiting for the loyal fans to turn up
With regard to the fans travelling from far away - I believe the club will ensure these loyal distant fans get tickets
My son flies in from Australia for 24 hours to see the match - he has a ticket
keep the passion flowing !!!

Although I'm not particularly pleased with the three per ST/Flexi holder system I completely understand why it's been done and do not begrudge those who have snapped up their tickets and shared them with friends and family.

I am concerned with the preferential general sale however. Due to my personal circumstances and being based in London I do not have a ST or a flexi card.

An argument I have seen crop up ever since tickets went on sale is "Should have bought a Flexi card" followed up by "Loyal supporters would have"

I haven't been to VP for three years simply as I cannot, therefore I haven't bought a Flexi as it would have simply been a waste of money. Instead I spent the little spare cash I have on trips out to the likes of Gillingham, Barnet, Brentford and Wycombe (see you there Tuesday) and on items from the club shop (picked up and delivered by my parents) therefore I'm gutted that I probably won't be able to follow my beloved Bantams to Wembley.

I hope the club does take the distant fans (especially those abroad) into consideration when distributing the general sale tickets and I sincerely hope I don't have to pay an inflated fee to a tout just so I can be there.

To all the fans who have tickets I offer my hearty congratulations and I hope you all enjoy the day out and sing as loud as you can. I hope to see you there. If not, I shall sit in my local (clad in city gear) and raise a pint to you all.

Whilst I sympathise you wont be there was £50 quid beyond you for a flexi ? that would have been a bit of loyalty and seen over the threashold for stuff like this ( granted not even mystic meg saw it coming ? ).

Still there's another one coming up May-be ?

I was told this is something they were considering but on the flip side they are also thinking that as soon as people purchase the season ticket and then get the cup final tickets...they will then cancel their season ticket........

So that route may be a non starter... it will be interesting to see what happens.

City and Mr Baldwin no they have cocked up ...

the opportunity to add 5000 new season ticket holders at a stroke was lost with 3 per ST ...

2 per ST and 13/14 ST purchases qualify...

I wont now be buying a 13/14 st ..but i will be spending the money on 2 web touted face value tickets for £200 each ..

I go to matches ... i have a brick with our family name on in the Stand .... i was at wembley in 96 ..
i was there when we beat wolves to get promoted .. i watched waddle score at Everton from his own half ..

i was there when wetherall scored to keep us in the premier league ..

then i had to have a sabatical .. with 3 young children .... football has to be limited for 4 /5 years ...unless you are a tozer ..

So for my under 10 boys , the only chance of them being the next generation of ST holders / fans now ... lies with me paying through the nose ..to get us to Wembley ..

they often ask why do we support Bradford dad ?

i tell them that is where we are from ..but in their case its not strictly true !!

The complaints should NOT tarnish the teams superb achievement that could help bring city back from the brink as a club.. and even city ..

Well done City .. now by some miracle , probably the biggest ever in English football , win the cup !!

So you are the part-timer that stopped me from getting a ticket for Wolves...

I was at Hartlepool earlier this season in the JPT...i have avoided having kids in case they disrupt my support of BCAFC.

A true City fan would know Waddle was NOT in his own half when he chipped the fat welsh bin man.

Luckily for me I know a season ticket holder who's managed to get me a ticket.

I have no issue with the way the club has managed ticket distribution at all, it's a perfectly fair system.

It could have been heartache for me, I've been lucky but I'd have only had myself to blame, those of you in the same situation, take it on board and don't take the risk next year!!

If I were and ST/Flexi card holder who's bought extra tickets to profit, my personal feeling is you should hang your heads in shame rather than boasting about it. Just because you don't have an ST or flexi card doesn't mean your not a Bradford fan, hell we should be encouraging these people who like me won't take the risk of not investing in the future.

If b chance the club go down the route of wanting people to produce game ticket stubs - I have a few!!

This ^^ is probably the most balanced and accurate post this whole thread

The arguements coming from ST holders is quite frankly laughable. Im sure a lot of these would rather not have the club build on the "lucky" success this season and hope that attendances dont increase next season so they can all gather round and moan about the "plastics" or glory hunters.

For gods sake get a grip and grow up out of the its them and use mentality

The club have done well to get where they are and deserve the support on the day from all whether they are at Wembley or watching on tv. Just because your a ST holder doesnt mean you are "better" fan than someone that isnt.

Get a grip people

Yes it does, the ST and flexi card holders have done exactly as asked by the club. Buy early, give us a playing budget, give us an idea of what that playing budget will be. This is both supportive and VFM, it allows the club to budget and also, due to the price gives value to SUPPORTERS.

This has been a six season mantra, ignored by those who are now crying or in fear of not getting a ticket for the club they love so dearly.

Barlacks.

If they are potential supporters, after the Wigan and Arsenal wins do you not think that the tempting £25 flexi the club made available at Xmas would have turned potential into actual?

The reason it didn't is because they are not SUPPORTERS but possible casual fans, not casual enough as our crowds remain failrly static.

The attempt to balance this holds no water with anyone at the club either, they are very happy with the distribution of tickets. Check Dave Baldwin's twitter comments. Hard work but has rewarded those who have supported the club. I bow to the hard work and dedictaion by all involved at City this season. Their efforts have been rewarded.

I see you are clearly on the "them and us" arguement.

Fact is whether supporting the team at Wembley, in the pub, at home or up Mount Everest its all good and all fans are equal.

I just dont understand the divisions between certain ST ticket holders who think they are somehow better than everyone else who support the team.

Exactly! hit the nail on the head there andy...you wouldn't think we were all supporting the same team. and I am SICK of reading PrisonerCellBlockA comments, same things said on every article. broken record springs to mind!

We aren't ALL SUPPORTING the same team.

Those 8k+ souls who turn up at Valley Parade week in week out ARE SUPPORTING.

I am very sick at having to explain this difference time and again to the numb, dumb and downright stupid.

It's like trying to train a dog but more futile

Just lol

You are basing a supporter on your own definition

Let me help you with a PROPER definition

sup·port·er Show IPA
noun
1.
a person or thing that supports.

Now that that's settled as please forgive me for using the dictionary to support a proper word lets all get behind city

Whether your going to final, watching at home or elsewhere or not watching and wishing the team all the best we are all supporters in essence so good luck City

Bull. Even that lot at the Second West, who were so clueless they didn't even know there would be a priority sale for season ticket holders, and made themselves look even more stupid by squealing "but we've been fans since the Wigan game!!"
.
There are lots of people who can go or afford to go for various reason. But I and many others like me will not be lumped into the same category as those plastics in that pub.

We give in prisoner. You are citys no. 1 supporter and they should erect a statue at VP in your honour for being far superior to anyone else who dares to call themselves a city fan/support. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, meaning some folk cannot commit themselves to ST/FC or even one game a season. To copy michaels comment earlier, its the empty cans that rattle loudest. Unfortunately for you prisoner, people stop listening to the rattle after a while. IDIOT

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, meaning some folk cannot commit themselves to ST/FC or even one game a season. To copy michaels comment earlier, its the empty cans that rattle loudest. Unfortunately for you prisoner, people stop listening to the rattle after a while. IDIOT

Hahaha, he was talking about you and your ilk, you know, those missing thousands.....

I wouldn't say I was the number one supporter, I think there are another 8,000 who could lay a similar claim, then add a few more for whatever reason didn't take up any of the clubs offers but still attend regularly and help support the club by GIVING funds to view the spectacle on offer.

Andy, I guide you to 5) below.

sup·port Pronunciation (s-pôrt, -prt)
tr.v. sup·port·ed, sup·port·ing, sup·ports
1. To bear the weight of, especially from below.
2. To hold in position so as to keep from falling, sinking, or slipping.
3. To be capable of bearing; withstand: "His flaw'd heart . . . too weak the conflict to support" (Shakespeare).
4. To keep from weakening or failing; strengthen: The letter supported him in his grief.
5. To provide for or maintain, by supplying with money or necessities.
6. To furnish corroborating evidence for: New facts supported her story.

People need to know and understand the difference between supporter of and fan of.

I like the Bulls to win, I'm not a supporter as I do not attend and do not pay monies to help the club survive and thrive. Therefore I am a fan and would never hope to lay any claim to any of their glory as I have never been part, however small, of any of their success. I also do not get too despondent when they lose.

End of.

I have no issue with the way the club has managed ticket distribution at all, it's a perfectly fair system.

It could have been heartache for me, I've been lucky but I'd have only had myself to blame, those of you in the same situation, take it on board and don't take the risk next year!!

If I were and ST/Flexi card holder who's bought extra tickets to profit, my personal feeling is you should hang your heads in shame rather than boasting about it. Just because you don't have an ST or flexi card doesn't mean your not a Bradford fan, hell we should be encouraging these people who like me won't take the risk of not investing in the future.

If b chance the club go down the route of wanting people to produce game ticket stubs - I have a few!!

This ^^ is probably the most balanced and accurate post this whole thread

The arguements coming from ST holders is quite frankly laughable. Im sure a lot of these would rather not have the club build on the "lucky" success this season and hope that attendances dont increase next season so they can all gather round and moan about the "plastics" or glory hunters.

For gods sake get a grip and grow up out of the its them and use mentality

The club have done well to get where they are and deserve the support on the day from all whether they are at Wembley or watching on tv. Just because your a ST holder doesnt mean you are "better" fan than someone that isnt.

Get a grip people

Yes it does, the ST and flexi card holders have done exactly as asked by the club. Buy early, give us a playing budget, give us an idea of what that playing budget will be. This is both supportive and VFM, it allows the club to budget and also, due to the price gives value to SUPPORTERS.

This has been a six season mantra, ignored by those who are now crying or in fear of not getting a ticket for the club they love so dearly.

Barlacks.

If they are potential supporters, after the Wigan and Arsenal wins do you not think that the tempting £25 flexi the club made available at Xmas would have turned potential into actual?

The reason it didn't is because they are not SUPPORTERS but possible casual fans, not casual enough as our crowds remain failrly static.

The attempt to balance this holds no water with anyone at the club either, they are very happy with the distribution of tickets. Check Dave Baldwin's twitter comments. Hard work but has rewarded those who have supported the club. I bow to the hard work and dedictaion by all involved at City this season. Their efforts have been rewarded.

I see you are clearly on the "them and us" arguement.

Fact is whether supporting the team at Wembley, in the pub, at home or up Mount Everest its all good and all fans are equal.

I just dont understand the divisions between certain ST ticket holders who think they are somehow better than everyone else who support the team.

Exactly! hit the nail on the head there andy...you wouldn't think we were all supporting the same team. and I am SICK of reading PrisonerCellBlockA comments, same things said on every article. broken record springs to mind!

We aren't ALL SUPPORTING the same team.

Those 8k+ souls who turn up at Valley Parade week in week out ARE SUPPORTING.

I am very sick at having to explain this difference time and again to the numb, dumb and downright stupid.

OK fair enough

Well Im a supporter then...I bought a shirt this season and havent attended any games therefore by your definition Im a supporter.

Also if anyone has ever bought a City shirt or paid into the ground or has a ticket for the final they paid a ST holder for then they too are supporters as they have financially contributed to the club

Thanks for clearing that up

So you paid for a shirt but were too tight to pay £25 for a flexi ticket which would have guaranteed a Wembley ticket (and a Villa, and an Arsenal ticket....). Awesome support, all the S/T and flex holders will feel humbled by your words and truly guilty at naughtily buying their Wembley tickets before all the devoted, non-attending 'fans'.

It isn't my definition but yes, using that definition and your funding into the club, you have supported the club.

It doesn't fall into the recognised category for preferential treatment as defined by the club regarding Season Ticket holders and FC holders but any monies given to buy goods or assist the club in being a viable business are supportive and as a supporter and fan I thank you.

I would say that 'has ever' is stretching it in regards to the whole basis of these comments and why it is even in discussion.


I wonder what will happen if we end up in the play-off final too, will this be a circular argument yet again?

Prisoner Cell Block A wrote:
There really shouldn't be an issue.

All football clubs offer preferential treatment to season ticket holders( Flexis too in our case) when it comes to giving priority for those extra special games. That should be the be all and end all of this argument.


Current ST holders are no better nor worse fans than those with other commitments or difficult circumstances. The club can only go on current though and therefore those currently offering support via financial means have rightly been given the expected treatment.

I'm a bit fed up of it all now, I've argued with people I don't really want to and have come across as uncaring and brash when really I would like every City fan/supporter to be able to attend but when a line has to be drawn I am glad that my choice to renew year after year has put me in pole position to purchase tickets for this game.

Ok so some "Loyal City Fans" claim they missed out on not getting a ticket for the biggest game for 102 years. We have around 9,000 plus season ticket flex-card holders. This period has been open to a 3 tickets per person with S-T or F-C that comes to 27,000 how come people claim they have not got a ticket surely the 29,000 sold is more than adequate to cover the members. If your a Loyal supporter get in the queue when it opens first thing next Thursday and make sure you get one. I wish I could go to Wembley but unfortunately through ill health I can't go but will yell my support at the TV. Before anyone asks my allocation went to a friend who moved away from the Bradford area but he went all over with Bradford before the heady days of Premier league. So just be grateful you have your good health worse things happen at sea.

It's nearer 10,000 season ticket holders and Flexi card holders.

That could well be but if they haven't got a ticket when there's 31,000 tickets available still doesn't make sense. If what you say is true then we only need 30,000 to cover the members. The only way that would fail is if the club allowed more than the allocation per season ticket holder.

City reach a major cup final and only 10,8++ turn up for a league game.

I cannot believe I have wasted my time debating this with a bunch of part timers. Shameful.

I assume you mean sell them at the price you paid for them. It is illegal for anyone to sell on a ticket for profit.

If this is the only way you can get a response I feel for You bcfc1903 and if you have done the unthinkable shame on you. If the club fined out you have sold them for profit they should stop your ticket allowance for the future.
