#bcafc
We are happy to forward the details of the protest.

Protest start: 14:00
Location: Corporate Suite entrance. (Morrisons stand)
Lets get change done!.
#bcafc
We would like to thank everyone who turned up for the protest today, and who continues to believe in us. We estimate that around 400 to 500 raised your voices. We appreciate it...and sends a clear message to the club. More coming soon...keep the faith and let's go.
#bcafc
We want to thank the 758 supporters who took the time to sign in support of a fans forum with Stefan Rupp. We think it is a phenomenal effort. These will be packaged up shortly. We are just writing the cover letter and we will show that in a short while.
#bcafc
Re protest (Friday 29th March)
Our contingency map incase we are moved on. The 2nd and Third areas are thoroughfares so we cannot be removed.
Date & Time: Good Friday (29/03/24).
Meeting at 13:30
Protest start: 14:00
Location: Corporate Suite entrance.
#bcafc
We are deeply disappointed with the announcement from
@officialbantams
. The promotion of this as a fans forum is not an accurate description. This is a media interview being held in studios with no public access. We will leave our supporters to provide further comments.
#bcafc
@ParkerTandA
@BradDeas_TandA
Simon, you have really made yourself look silly with this report. Our estimate of attendance is true. You do not mention that large amount of fans in attendance outside of the banner picture you have used which was a focal point for the media. Lazy journalism.
#bcafc
As Ryan Sparks talks to everyone except us or our supporters, your support has been overwhelming. We have 514 members now, and my good friend Stuart Mee is our 500th member. Support us by signing up to our free membership and help us get to 800+. Thanks to everyone.
#bcafc
0-4 down, pitch in disarray....team in disarray, ticket system in disarray, atmosphere in disarray...where do we go? Help us, join us, and let's plan together. This result hasn't just come around, it has been cooking for years. Another season down..let's plan for change.
#bcafc
#Actionforapril
We launch our latest campaign for change!.
Following the open letter addressed to fans, we ask the club to follow up on actions below.
This is part of our plan towards change of Bradford City!.
More information to follow.
#bcafc
My apologies guys, we are delayed in sending the package today. It's going tomorrow. However, I can provide the covering letters for you. So, I wanted to just outline what goes on moving forward. We have given until the 20th February 2024 for response. If this is...
#bcafc
Hi everyone. We are planning to send our forum request to Stefan Rupp on Thursday. This is a chance for fans to support that request and provide a question or voice a feeling to him. Please RT so that we can get this to as many people as possible.
#bcafc
Following our statement..
Date & Time: Good Friday (29/03/24).
Meeting at 13:30
Protest start: 14:00
Location: Corporate Suite entrance.
Nothing has changed!.
#bcafc
In other news, we are talking to national press at the moment who are greatly interested in what is going on at Bradford. In addition, we are also now starting to communicate with media in Germany, though this is in early stages.
There is lots going on right now but our invitation to do media regularly shows that our group is being seen as a prominent supporters group as well as being respected.
Keep the faith, do not be swayed from your opinion on the club and let's get change together.
Steve
Good evening Bantams. SORRY for a bit of silence but those who follow my personal profile may know that I spent Christmas in hospital so have been resting up. We are again, respectfully calling on
@officialbantams
to set up an urgently required fans forum.
#bcafc
Sorry for the delay in updating today guys..I have actually had to do some work on my business for once instead of
#bcafc
business. The signatures have been sent and in the interests of transparency, I have included the receipt. Now it's a waiting game. Will keep you all updated.
We applaud
@Thecityvent
for organising a fans forum for supporters of Bradford City. We would like to publicly announce our support for this action and urge all Bradford City Supporters to attend if they can. We will be in attendance as we look to explore ways that we...
#bcafc
Our thoughts and love is with the friends and family of those who came to Valley Parade in 1985, and never left. We will always remember and always honour their names.
#bcafc
Dear Bantams, We are always pleased when a communication comes from our owner Stefan Rupp. Unfortunately, the communication is either when mistakes have happened or a takeover attempt is made. We wrote to Mr Rupp on behalf of our members and he chose not to engage.
#bcafc
If you want a post match "Get it off your chest" at 6pm then we don't mind doing one. We will base it off the number of likes we get...if you don't then we won't but what do you make of that today, Bantams?
#bcafc
We have checked the status of the package for Mr Rupp this morning and it is with the German Postal service. It hasn't been delivered yet but we will update everyone when it has.
#bcafc
Thank you to everyone who tuned in and came along tonight. My sincere thanks to
@Thecityvent
for their support and great questions. Look guys, we have to start somewhere. We have tried to give some examples of protest, and we know that work is needed on them but at least
#bcafc
Just a quick one for you all. Our current unduplicated membership stands at 771 fabulous Bantams. Please join us if you want to help us raise the voices of our
#bcafc
supporters. Finally, in time for the protest on Friday, some downloadable banners. Goto
Good morning Bantams. So, we are still waiting for Mr Rupp to collect his parcel. We will be sending another to another of his addresses at one point this week. Our membership stands at 736 verified members and we invite anyone who loves the Bantams to join us.
#bcafc
Dear Bantams,
I just wanted to write to give you an update on activity and action. I apologise for the gap but plenty of things have been going on. Unfortunately, I was hospitalised again due to the reoccurrence of an infection that put me in hospital at Christmas.
Happy Saturday to all Bantams. We just wanted to wish our fans who are travelling to Wrexham today, a safe journey. Be vocal, loud and show any prospective buyers what they could have. Roar us onto 3pts.
#bcafc
It's time for supporters to unite, it's time for our content creators to unite. The time for action is now, the time for strategic protest is now. The forum begins tomorrow..our supporters mobilisation begins tomorrow. Sign up and become a member and help spread the word.
#bcafc
Gutted that Wembley was not to be this time but the best performance of the season for us. A potential promotion season still adds pressure to our owner and CEO to provide the investment needed, and have a plan. We still want to know what they plan to do...do you?
#bcafc
Good morning Bantams..no announcement, we just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter and hope that whatever you are doing today, you have fun and enjoy it. We may see some of you later.
#progressionnotregression

Good morning, Bantams. The package has arrived but was not signed for and is now waiting for collection, because I insisted it needed to be signed for. We are watching what now happens and will keep you updated

Protests are the last thing that any City fan really wants, and as per usual we are seeing interesting points of view about this action. But, can I remind our supporters that the club is more than aware of us but have done nothing to engage. The club hires and fires...

Good morning Bantams. Happy Friday to you all. The package for Stefan is being returned but fear not, we are going to be sending it straight out again. Just be clear on some things as well. Just because we are a little quieter does not mean that nothing us going on....
#bcafc
Good afternoon, Bantams. Hope you're all having good days? Here is an article from us regarding the fans forum and actions. Nothing is set in stone and if any of you have suggestions then contact us via DM and we can talk.
#bcafc
It is clear that frustrations from
#bcafc
supporters are starting to rise. We now urge
@supportersboard
and
@BantamsTrust
to work with us to formally request an urgent fans forum from
@officialbantams
as supporters have questions that need to be answered about the club's....
@SellBeforeWeDai
as a supporters group we become sad when another club is experiencing an owner who is intent on destroying a club for their own gain. We hope that you all get the result you deserve, and get your club back.

It is a real shame that a fabulous player and fantastic servant to the club
@leem1lls
is seen as a problem for asking questions and engaging with
#bcafc
supporters. We would urge
@officialbantams
to re-think this approach and remain professional.
We would ask all Bantams to support Georgia if they can. She is an absolute hero who raised so much money for the burns unit. Let's help her get a record year, this year.
#bcafc
Calling all my fellow
#BCAFC
fans
Georgia
@BCAFC_RIBBONS
will be at the game again on Saturday selling her ribbons for a £1.
Give as much as you can to help her raise as much as she can for
@BradfoBurnsUnit
All this done whilst studying for her A-Levels 🎗️
Well Bantams, we have come away from that with huge disappointment tonight. We literally need all the help we can get. If you would like to join us and help us by spreading the word, helping us reach offline fans etc.. click the link below.
#bcafc
Dear Bantams, regarding the protest that will happen tomorrow we want to, for the purposes of clarification advise that this is a PEACEFUL protest. We will not condone loutish or unruly behaviour that places the safety of our supporters including children and the elderly..
#bcafc
@TheWidthofaPost
Jason, a fantastic open letter which based on feedback we receive from our fellow supporters, encapsulates the current mood and feeling from supporters. As someone once said, it's good to talk. Let us hope that it reaches Landshut, Munich and Stefan answers the call.
#bcafc
Good morning Bantams. Game day and as per usual we will be hoping for 3 PTS. The signatures for Stefan Rupp were not collected by him. He knew they were there but chose not to engage. Following our steering group meeting last night, we have decided to cease that action...
#bcafc
Communication is everything, especially when supporters are being asked to spend their hard earned money within a club. We continue to ask for a fans forum from
@officialbantams
and we still await minutes from
@supportersboard
..our fans deserve better.
#bcafc
If you want change then you have to walk the hard yards. If you sit back and go nothing will change then it won't. That is today's question...do you want change at YOUR club? We can't do it alone. Join us, help us, work with us in the name of
#bcafc
and it's supporters.
Surely Rupp can spare ten minutes to get on a quick video call to welcome GA and CL to the club as the owner. We are sure there is a perfectly good reason for this not happening yet..nudge nudge wink wink 😜
#bcafc
We are on our way and will see you all in a short while...the sun is out and hopefully the weather will keep. See you at 1.30pm.
#progressionnotregression
#bcafc
Give us a little bit of time but we plan to hold a space for our supporters to come and discuss where we are as a club and what supporters truly want us to pursue. For one bit of time we just want our fans united around something we love, Bradford City. Watch this space
#bcafc
Afternoon Bantams. There is nobody more delighted when City wins than its supporters, and seeing as everyone in our Steering Group, and every single member is a supporter then we are ecstatic right now. However, our members are still unhappy with some things....
#bcafc
We again,
@officialbantams
respectfully ask for an emergency fans forum with Ryan Sparks in attendance. Supporters have questions that need to be answered. As your largest customer base, it would be advisable not to ignore them.
#bcafc
Apologies for missing out a very key point.
The point of the protest is to effect change within the club, We want a clear vision of what is the future of the club.
We encourage everyone to make their voices heard.
#bcafc
Just to confirm guys, I have spoken to Jamie Raynor from BBC Radio Leeds to confirm whether the Q&A tonight is being broadcast on YouTube or an equivalent. He advised that it is not, and will be available to listen live or via the BBC sounds app.
#bcafc
We haven't posted anything for a while. To be honest we are trying to understand whether we are even wanted by our fan base. So, we want to push the club on things that matter, and we will challenge the supporters board if need be. Will you support us?
#bcafc
No concerns about the ambitions of the club and its direction. The club cannot continue to coast and languish in Lg 2. We are a large city, a proud fanbase. Now is the time to show that pride...join us Friday and let the club hear your voice.
#progressionnotregression
#bcafc
We completely back GA and CL. What we need to know is what is the plan for the club? Why has the club declined from pushing for Championship to League 2 and what is the strategy to reverse that? Just a couple of questions we have had put to us recently.
As we all eagerly await tonights
#bcafc
Q & A from the club, we just wanted to remind you that today is the last day to sign in support of a TRUE fans forum with Stefan Rupp. Go to the link below before time runs out.
We want to publicly thank
@AndyBantamsCarr
who is a fantastic designer and runs his own creative agency..and the best thing, he is a Bantam. He's created our brand new logo for us, and we love it. If you need any design work for leaflets, logos etc. then give him a shout
#bcafc
Good morning Bantams, I just wanted to write to apologise for our quiet demeanour. Unfortunately, I was admitted to hospital again a couple of weeks ago. Due to the sudden nature, I did not get a chance to give access to our steering group, which had been agreed. I am....
#bcafc
We question the timing of this statement. Low ST sales, supporter unrest and a protest due to go ahead the next day. It is over to you Mr Rupp. Deliver some elements of what you have promised and our supporters will back a wider plan. Fail to do so and they will not.
#bcafc
Good morning Bantams, lots going on at the club. How are you all feeling about things? Does Sharpe's appt tick a box for you or do you have mistrust still? It's a start we suppose. Does it stop us, no it doesn't. SH
#bcafc
So, in light of the fabulous opportunity that
@Thecityvent
has announced today, The get it off your chest space on Thursday is going to start at the earlier time of 6pm. Come and join
@braysoj1
as the warm up before the Fans Forum at 7pm. All welcome.
#bcafc
Communication with a supporter base is crucial and we would respectfully ask that Ryan Sparks and Stefan Rupp take this request seriously. We are not going anywhere, we will continue to represent our supporters and their wishes for the long term.
#bcafc
We just want to thank everyone who came and talked Bradford City tonight. It was really interesting, we confirmed your instructions to us, and we appreciate all the new members who joined. Thanks to all speakers, and listeners for sparing some time for us
#bcafc
@DarbyRimmerMND
Such a horrible thing is MND. You are and always will be a legend at

. I am sure we speak on behalf of our members and wider supporters when we say we are all behind you, Darbs. God bless you and keep you.
Good morning. Just a quick update for you all. Our forum request has gained 343 signatures so far. Our funniest comment to Stefan is asking him what beans he likes and our members stand at 638. We'd like to get it to 800 signatures if we can and we want to send this. 1/2
#bcafc
We have a statement to make, and this will come in due course...this poll is to gain some insight. We are a supporter group who listens to fans. Majority wins.
#bcafc
As part of our actions published two days ago, we are collating electronic signatures to send to Stefan Rupp, requesting an official fans forum, and his attendance at this forum as a matter of urgency. These electronic signatures will then be printed and sent by recorded...
#bcafc
@officialbantams
Great video - fantastic Comms by the club. We will always praise the club when they do something well, and this gives us all an opportunity to learn something about an unsung hero in Mick. How frozen is that pitch though 😂
A few members contacted us about difficulty in getting disabled tickets and tickets for carers through Ticketmaster. I've been in touch with
#bcafc
and they say they are waiting for clarification on a few issues and the option should be available by the end of next week. (KE)
Managers not the fans, and RS has done a lot of that. The club by its own charter is supposed to run two fans forums (fan attended) but hasn't done that. That Stefan Rupp has not made a statement to his own customers for a long time. That eight years ago we were in Lg 1...
#bcafc
We listened to
@pideson

viewpoint on fan ownership with interest. Like you both, we believe our supporter base can do anything it puts its mind to. It would be difficult but can be achieved. We would definitely like to explore this. May not be viable but...
#bcafc
Happy Game Day Bantams. A quick update. Our Rupp Forum campaign now stands at 490 signatures and growing. Our membership continues to grow and we have 665 members as of writing. Thank you everyone. Our join link is pinned to our profile so come and have your say.
#bcafc
We will not condone illegal activity such as pyrotechnics, items being thrown onto the pitch as this harms our credibility as a supporter group. Our protest is peaceful. We will meet near the ticket office at the bottom of the hill at 1.30pm. We hope to see many people there.
Good morning Bantams, just a quick update...we have received approximately 100+ new member applications since our last Get It Off Your Chest Space. We want to thank you all for your constructive comments and support. We obviously need to acquire more members and will be...
#bcafc
Will raise their concerns and not accept mediocrity. We believe that the club silence on fan discontent is because they feel that like always, this will go away on the back of ST being back up for sale and that you are all happy to just have a club to support with...
#bcafc
Our, "Progression not Regression" campaign is now under way and this results in a protest that will take place at 2pm this coming Friday outside the directors entrance.
Another great Vlogger who covers our beloved Bantams...your catch up content is complete for when you're travelling about. Give SHD your support and enjoy his great content.

This was a great piece to do, as had a really good chat with supporters of Reading, Morecambe and Sheffield Wednesday. Part 2 is coming so keep an eye out for that. Big thanks to

Good afternoon Bantams...I'm back home at last. So, the Rupp package has still not arrived back. We are going to print the signatures off again and send them to the next address we have. We have a meeting as a team on Monday and more to come from us.
#bcafc
Can collaborate for the greater good of our supporters, and represent them as we move forward. It's time to put differences aside and unite behind a plan for an ambitious, determined football club with fans at its heart and a plan for the future of the club. See you there.
#bcafc
We heard from a steward an arrest had been made.
As we said when we announced the protest, We do not condone this behaviour.
Neither the club, WYP or T&A Have reached out for a comment.
If we hear anything, We will update supporters.
#bcafc
So will
@officialbantams
come out with a statement regarding this? It's funny how it's not been reported anywhere else but by

@bcf_independent
, what are your views on this, and will we see a statement from you about the lies?
#BCAFC
