Its Official Rhodes Confirms Mccall Is Boss (from Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Surely now there is no need for ANYONE to whinge. Cmon Stu!

god is home come on stu

Does this mean he has not applied for the hot seat at Eccleshill United

God is ginger.

Considering Wayne's involvement with the community for City (He seemed to be in the T A every week), I'm glad of the news, his commitment to the City cause cannot be forgotten, and welcome him back to VP, he will have goos knowledge of the lower leagues from Halifax, one thing we will get from Stu Wayne is 100%.

CTID

good* !!

!!

Finally. What lifts my heart as much as Stuart coming back is that another City legend is returning as well in Wayne Jacobs.

An often criticised yet consistent, committed, loyal and competent player he was always one of my favourites. Nice man to boot always had time for a fan and will I'm sure be given as big a welcome back as Macca. here's to bigger and better things, the only way is up.

Yeah Baby, McCall and Jacobs good luck guys from all City supporters in Thailand

What great news - just what we have all been waiting for - although I can sense expectations building already - lets give them some time to sort things out and not expect miracles from day one!

Our club colours should now be listed as claret ginger.

Big ears, Jagger can only come back if he wears a ginger wig.

Great news, lets just hope that we get some cash and put Bradford back into a division they deserve to be playing in.

Even Stu won't be able to do anything without a reasonable squad who are committed.

as a memorial to all those who died and sufferred in teh fire why don'y we go back to the colours we had them:
primarily all white with claret and amber and black trimmings--maybe with MEMORIAL SHIRT.
remember the 56.
Maybe then every city player who wears the shirt will play with pride and go that extra yard or put in that little bit extra.

away kit--claret and black stripes again!!
here BUT maybe those players to come will learn that there is something special about VP!

!

Well well looking good wid jacobs mccall,sell windass get some money from jct600 and where on are way past dirty hudders leeds

Well said Waterside totally agree wiv u mate!!

!!!

!

Great Idea Waterside about the shirt, yes it is sentimental but i believe it may give us more passion in our victories ahead, nice commentabout the ginger wig Paul this could be a new merchandise, I feel we are in for some good times ahead, i agree with Nigel about giveing time, maybe it will take 2 years to build a srong and reliable squad for promotions

Thank goodness.
Every manager at City for the last 5 years at least must have picked up the vibe from around the club that we were just treading water until Macca became available; and this would have continued until he finally returned.

I know they often say 'never go back' - and we have plenty of our own examples to prove this theory - but Stuart is such a motivator, such an encourager, such a talisman and such a man, I reckon he's got what it takes to lead us back to glory. Bantam Progressivism might just be reborn.

Love the idea about the shirt!

I shook hands with a m8 on Friday that we would wear ginger wigs at the 1st match, now it's more apt than ever!!

! I might even buy a Tam o'shanter!!

! CTID

and how about this then:
new shirts, memoraail shirts, sponsored by JCT and major sponsorship from Morrisons-- shirts,ground whatever:they could be at the forefront of a rebirth.
I personally know one director of Morrisons who I went to school with and played football with who is a regular at every home game and not so long ago used to stand on the kop with us and was in the paddock the day the fire went up. Can he not use his influence with his other board members-- after all they sponsor Scotland why not sponsor their home town team to some degree.

Maybe they could hand out some money off vouchers at each game--thereby benefitting the supporter and maybe generating more income-- a scheme could be generated from those vouchers so that the company agree to put so much of the used voucher spend back into the club in hard cash.
so come on let's try get the whole of BRADFORD behind a rebirth--we will never have a better chance now the prodigal son has come home.
lets forget the rifts and rows Morrison had with GR, Forget the differences between Tordoff and others-- let's all get together and raise the profile of Bradford through it's football club--let's get that steady progess which got us to the premiership and created all that good will and publicity:the chance is here and now:let us not blow up over petty squabbles here and there!

the whole is greater than the individual

It would be great if Morrisons did stump up some cash, but there have been rumours of it for years with nothing ever happening.

It's worth remembering that they only sponsor Scotland because Safeways were the sponsors before Morrisons took them over. Surely the best attraction for any potential sponsors is 10,000 buying season tickets and confirming that we have the biggest fanbase in the division.
Not sure about the white shirts though - too much like Beeston Utd.

We should definitely go back to black shorts though - we were wearing them in 1996 and 1999.

white shirts--yes I still have teh picture of that team:
thye were introduced by CHERRY AND YORATH--why cos Don Revie did it for Leeds when he took over--they played in blue and gold.

the reason!!
REAL MADRID and white kits always makes players look that bit bigger than they are actually.

however put teh leeds bit to one side--why should they ever be mentioned on these pages without being subjected to ***********: it is City we care about, its rebirth and if it menas going back to where in essence are struggles from re-election candidates etc were born--let;s do it.

I know its a time to get excited people but think we need to calm down, I like every1 hope he has the 'Roy Keane' affect on City.
But we need to be realistic its not gonna be any easy season I thin if we finish just outside playoffs and get decent crowds then that will prompt some1 to invest, but at the min just cant see it, think we need to let the ginger messiah do his own thing and not give him unwanted pressure.
COME ON CITY!

!!

Love the idea of the memorial shirt, waterside.Perhaps a couple of quid from each shirt sale could go to the burns unit at the B.R.

I.If the players couldn't raise their game wearing that shirt with everything it represents then they shouldn't be playing for Bradford City f.c.

BRADFORD CITYS GINGER ARMY !!!

McCall and Jacobs !!

BRADFORD CITYS GINGER ARMY !!!

!

You've got to feel sorry for the Sheffield Utd fans, we get Mac back and things are looking good, they get that poor excuse for a manager Brian Robson. Not much hope for them is there ?
just think we could be in the same division as sheffield united by the end of next season!

!!!

but who cares--onward and upward for city!! jas anyone direct input into City through [maybe the T AND A] to look at the shitrt issue--colours, donations etc etc

Waterside's shirt idea is excellent - hope these messages are picked up by Simon Parker.

An excellent way to signal a new beginning for City whilst acknowledging our past.
Credit to JR - conducted himself with real dignity and showed he really is City through and through.
Can't wait to get my hands on my season ticket

What great news can't wait for the ginger duo to get a grip. Glad to see the back of the mercenary journeymen seeing out their careers at VP. Now my 5 and 7 year olds will see what I have been drilling into them during their first long and painful season and we will together witness our beloved club getting out of reverse gear.

CTWD!!!

!

white shirts etc--- ok the T AND A have done a great job on the season tickets--what would it cost the t and a to donate the kits with a small sponsorship deal--collar tabs, sock ties etc and , more importanatly, what would they gain by being formly behind teh club as it resurrects. sadly i think GR intimidated the T AND A so they did not report us too well in the past--maybe that friendship
over tickets etc could be further enhanced by this small gesture on shirts.
i am only putting forward ideas but hope this can be the kick start to a brighter future will all pulling together.
