Actually, it was the ill-fated deal with itv's digital sports package that did most of the damage. I didn't bother updating, though, because I can't remember its name. I did, however, update the nickname - they are in fact called the bantams, not the chickens.

Cheers.

[edit] Players Who Have Recently Left The Club

This sub-heading was created for pre-season for people to keep up with comings and goings.

Do people think it should remain throughout the season, or be removed at the start of the season? The problem with keeping it is how recent is recent in terms of staying on the list? The problem with removing it is that people may want to know what happened to certain players.

After having had no responses for over two months, unless I get any objection in the next seven days, it is my intention to remove this section.

[edit] A note on British English

British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New External Links

I've slipped in a couple of additions to the External Links section. I've added the Claret and Banter discussion forum, simply because it has become the forum of choice for discerning City fans. Also the BK Bantams Asia for the information of ex-pat City fans.

Incidentally, the boy from Brazil site will soon be closing from what I've heard, so maybe this will need deleting at some point.

Cheers.

[edit] Bradford City Online Forums

- I have removed this entire section, it is not appropriate content for an encyclopaedia. See WP:NOT#SOAPBOX, WP:NOT#OR and WP:POINT for reasons why it didn't belong here. Simon KHFC 22:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I think the forums have external links anyway GiantSnowman 09:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colours

Maybe memory is failing me but I think black trim was added to the colours following the fire disaster as a mark of respect. Let me know if I'm right and I'll amend the section (Be Dave 22:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC))

Shouldn't the honours they won as a rugby league team be included in the honours section?Villafancd (talk) 18:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
