Will Bradford City ever win again?

I have followed Bradford City for almost 50 years through thick and thin. I first visited Valley Parade in the late 1950s and was hugely impressed by the old "Sopwith Camel" stand. My Uncle Ron took me to see City play in the old Division 3 North and I was hooked for life. Nearly 50 years on I am still hooked and cannot kick the habit, nor do I want to, although I would love to see City win again.

It seems like an eternity since I last saw City win. I missed two away wins in the latter part of last season but the last time I personally saw them win was in 2006.

The relegation season of 2006/07 was another sad instalment in the decline of City from the heady two seasons in the Premier League. In fact as we often joke, things have been downhill since David Wetherall's header saved us from relegation from the Premier League in the 1999/00 season. We now find ourselves in the bottom division of the Football league - somewhere we have not been since the early 1980s.

Two periods in Administration, continuing cash crises and mediocre management have all contributed to the sad decline of the club I am still totally committed to after 50 years.

I just wish we could actually win the odd game to repay some of the faith the magnificent support have in the club. We have the manager everyone would have chosen in Stuart McCall and a new investor who has apparently rescued the club financially. Who could ask for more? But the odd win would help.

It is still early days in the new season and far too early to get upset or stressed out but we just need that symbolic win to lift every one's spirits and confidence and then we will be on a roll.

Come on City! Come on City! Just give us that win and we will all be delirious.
