My only concern is if ST sales collapse completely, then it doesn't really matter how much we cut expenditure, we're done.
Basically this is it. It's either total collapse, club dies and we all go home (over the next 3months). Or we stabilise and we don't have to do this again. There's no middle ground. I don't know the odds, but I'll give it a go.
I'd be surprised if the club sell many more season tickets. I hope they aren't relying on another 1000 season ticket sales because I just don't see it happening. Obviously some won't bother going to Dewsbury at all and those who haven't bought a season ticket up to now will probably just wait and see how things look by kick off time. Just about the only thing that gives me hope is that JK has proven he can get decent results from a tight budget. But it's a tough sell for the club playing out of Dewsbury.

I’ll be going whether I get a ST or pay on the day, depends on my cash flow and timing but I support Bradford and can’t support anyone else and whilst we’ve been delivered a poop stick on many occasions I’m still a fan

I think that sums me up.
Part of me wants to call it a day but I just can’t.

Whilst I appreciate the point all the comments regarding team is decimated are slightly inaccurate when you consider it was paid for and built on sand foundations. It’s not really a like for like comparison comparing. 2019 squad to what is likely to be on the field in 2020. It seems clear that the likes of Mini, Keyes etc would not have been retained if we had tried to live within our means so losing them is inevitable. We now seem to be spending what we generate and if attendances fall so does the budget .
What an absolute crying shame that we didn't get to see the 2019 team enjoying further success in 2020 after their efforts this past season. With a few well placed additions, we'd have had a cracking team to challenge for the top 5. JK has a proven record in these circumstances, but has he got the stomach for this challenge? Seeing the guts ripped out of his team must be heartbreaking. Just hope he's made of sterner stuff than I would be in his shoes.
