Bradford City won’t pay inflated fee for transfer target (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Should have rung Tony Hallwood at Leeds Bradford again - after he donated 11 flights to Heathrow, i'm sure he'd have done a deal for flights to Tenerife. Shouldn't be using Manc airport.

Hi Gents

Sensible thingking from the Chairmann.
Why pay more,,??

Gentlemanbob

is the player Jason Kennedy at Rochdale who is not a happy bunny:natural left sided midfield player and aged 26 . He would be ideal to give natural balance

*
Classic problem within Football Operations. Once they know you have got some money--the price increases above the normal valuation.
*
It is so evident in the Premier League, with Multi-Billion Owners.
*
Should a well placed financial investor or City lottery winner- ( I wish !)- come into the directors regime. Any further financial transactions would become grossly inflated.
*
Whereas I appreciate player speculations from supporters. I don't think they ' HELP' City's negotiations--should those speculation's be correct.

Beckham !

Midfielder from Southampton .

Paul Scholes - He knows his car will be safe in Bradford!!!

Anyone tried booking tickets yet online?
Went on at 0905 this morning and was put in a 2 hr waiting time.
Now the counter has gone past 2hr mark and I need to go out.
Not impressed as being a web developer this site could of been adapted for not much money to cope with high volumes of hits.
Bet Man U fans or Chelsea fans don't get this problem.

It has stated fo ages that they go on sale at 9am. Also Braford City reminded people that they are a fourth Div club and do not have the facilities that Premier club can afford. So you should have logged on before 9am. I started logging in at 830am it took 20mins to log in with the wait and I got the tickets i wanted.

Yea I have mine all done and dusted and I have heard that the £40 tickets have gone already not confirmed though.

Dean Furman from Oldham has been mentioned.....if true... he would be a great signing.

At last someone agrees with me!
Not like I don't know what I am talking about either being a web developer.
I will design your next site Please Bradford City.

Some Clubs try at this late stage to over charge for players. City are quite right not to pay more than they value the player for. Mr Parkinson has a amount of cash he can spend and i am sure he will spend it in citys best interests On to Fleetwood and a win will do us the world of good Good Luck City

Don't bother. Its one company who does all the football league sites and the clubs are contracted to it.

Not gonna lie, massive farce, got kicked out of website as it said i could only buy 3 tickets despite having 6 season tickets linked to it, so 1/2 a ticket per season ticket is supposedly right!

Ended up ringing the number and was then charged £1.50 per ticket for the privilege.

All in all an expensive £1300 odd.

But... we're going to Wembley!!

Good luck to you all guys. Unfortunately I am one of the people that have to wait until general sale due to location. I sincerely hope everyone who wants a ticket will get one and that we all enjoy the day. Regardless what happens, it's the fairytale that people said was impossible. WE ALL DARED TO DREAM!

I had some problems, too, online -waited two and a half hours then was logged out before I had chance to buy anything!! Decided to call on the phone line and got through after 20 odd minutes and ordered with no problems. I probably saved money, too, as there was no way for the Arsenal match online to get a junior seat so ended up paying full amount. At least by phone you can get a concession!! All booked now - can't wait!

Same as you Gentleman...

I live in London, so if I am not lucky enough to get a ticket when they go on general release i will be up there at wembley looking for a tout as I bet they will somehow manage to scoop up a load, they always do!

Oh we dared to dream, and haven't woken up....yet!!!!
CTID

Midfielder is Byron Moore from Crewe. Not looking likely though as Crewe have upoed the price - tossers.

Can't see why we need another midfielder unless Parky is not happy with the goal contribution from midfield? Ravenhill. Ricky Jones, Gary Jones,also Atkinson if you want to play him there.

Don't know how you managed that..! The tickets didn't become available until 9am. You only get 30mins per session before you get signed out (and 5 mins of non-activity).

If you logged on at 8:30, you will have automatically been logged out at 9:00, just as the tickets were coming available....! I waited until 8:40 (as I anticipated that I would be done by 9:10), but got put straight into the queue which increased from 25mins to 2hrs. I then had to endure many problems and ended up coming back out without purchasing my tickets....!

I see there is now a warning message about booking multiple. It states that you have to change the names for each clutch and 'update basket' each time, instead of trying to do them all at the end. If only it had said this earlier, it could have prevented many problems.

Well, I personally, would want another midfielder; preferably an attacking one. Jones and Doyle have been immense, but let's face it, the back-up is no way near as good. Ravenhill could fill in for Doyle (if needed), but I haven't been impressed by Jones when he has played this season. Perhaps that's the trouble with playing bit parts and often out of their normal position.

I would also like to have seen us bring in cover for Hanson. He works tirelessly for the team and I think it would be good to be in a position where we could, if we needed to, rest him. Gray is a different kind of player altogether.

Yes, for me, we need a centre forward and an attacking midfielder

Maybe Parky wants to try playing something different with Gray up front. I assume you are talking about Ricky Jones not up to it? I have noticed a few time he doesn't look interested the week penalty he took and goes missing in too many games. We have other options, they could try Gray in a midfield roll just behind the 2 strikers I'm sure someone with his experience would relish that job. He has the ability to hold the ball long enough to bring other players into play. With his age it would not involve too much running and allow the younger players to use their pace. He could be the kind of anchor man we had with John Hawley. A player who can also turn and know where the net is. I can't see us getting a quality Center forward or a top notch midfield player at this stage. I think that Gray could benefit Hanson and allow him some breathing space in games. At times Hanson looks knackered and maybe a lot of the time when he has a chance to have a shot he has no power left in his legs. We would all love to see a big name signing but i'm afraid we aren't going to attract anyone at this stage.

Kennedy came and went:could not agree terms so let his stay asa unhappy man at Rochdale (his own words )
