Cabin Pressure Website about Michael Wood The English Web Designer, Developer, Writer and Publisher

File under Frequently Asked Questions: What happened to the Bradford City website BfB Cabin Pressure and Michael Wood published. The short answer to this is that having covered Bradford City for twelve years believing that the people who ran the club did so in good faith, trying all they could to make the club better, that belief was (to me) proved false and in my opinion is not the case.

What then does one write about a football club when the results on the pitch are secondary for those in the boardroom to other concerns? What does one write about when Player A being picked over Player B and you suspect that it is for reasons other than their ability on the field? When you suspect the reasons are sinister, and in some cases sinister in the extreme?

I was proud, as creator of BfB, to have it follow Bradford City for twelve years but Bradford City — my Bradford City — is lost in the self-interest of people who profess to protect the club but in my opinion do not. People are prepared — without missing a heartbeat — to barefaced lie? People who will become litigious not seeking to win, but to out-muscle? At what point does one look at what one once loved and see only darkness, greed and dishonesty and say no more?

In the sea of misery that are football club websites BfB was never about negativity, but now that is all Bradford City is about and I have no idea how someone who knew what I knew would turn a blind eye and carry on writing, and so I acquiesce to those who can, at least for now.
