No, because I have no figure to work that out! I have compared the 2 incomes generated from just season ticket sales, as Starbug pointed out.
The stadium is always fully open regardless of whether we play leeds or catalans along with all the turnstiles! I would guess it would be few more behind the bars and possibily stewards. But if we always opened up the whole of the stadium I would think that the stewards on the whole would be covered anyway for most games.
Printing the tickets, well its a membership card, and probably come in the teamcard deal but it would be less than £1 in my experience of procuring similar items at a volume of other 5,000! We would pay tax regardless, more money we bring in, the higher the tax bill will be yes, but it all swings in roundabouts. 10,000 adults was a figure for a reason at £60 standing and £99 sitting, we have got 1,000 above that and then adding in some of us paying for 5 - 25 yr season tickets from £500 - £15,000 i think the club isn't doing bad!

My point was that they only sold the amount of season tickets they have because they was cheap now they go on like they are the best supported team ever and that they should be given the god given right to have 11,000 free tickets for this cup tie thats why some of them think the game should be moved to Odsal but this is a cup tie and they have been drawn away and thats the magic of the cup am I right? Where was the 11,000 fans at Dewsbury in the 4th round last season? How many tickets would they sell for this tie if it was not free? Loyal to the core aint they.

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

They have taken a business decision , just like many people do all the time
Yesterday a customer of mine questioned a price I had given them , my answer was , " I have two choices , I price stuff too expensive and go bust through lack of work , or I price stuff too cheap and go bust through lack of profit "
Good choice eh

That is up to them and if it works for them and gets people interested again then good for them what it is thats actually winding me up is them as a result wanting 1000s of free tickets at the club I loves exspense.

Once again you need to look to Red Hall for that one , something ' Dicky ' and ' Nige ' thought up over morning tea and ' biccies '

| being thats its unlikely the north stand will be sorted in time i think the free tickets should be for the skircoat only and if they still want to attend after the skircoat stand tickets have gone they can pay like anyone else. i dont think its wise to make it all ticket as this has backfired many times in the past as fans often decide on the day to see how they feel and the weather ect. if we make it all ticket many will just think "i will watch it on bbc"

You are obliged to give them a percentage of the available capacity , and to avoid H and S issues ( ie , all 10,000 turning up demanding to be let in ) it is highly unlikely that a council run stadium will not have this match all ticket , let alone the issues of large amounts of money being taken at the turnstiles

because they will have to draw up plans of making calls to contractors to do the work and how long does this usually take the council? i think if it was planned to do soon we would of heard something. i know the council has agreed to pay but getting them to do it is hard work

It is a stupid situation to be in, and another well thought out RFL strategy to get more in at the challenge cup. No offence to other clubs, but if it wasn't Halifax I don't think it would be as big an issue with the season ticket holders. But this game means a lot to both sets of fans, its a derby we haven't had competitively for a long time and one I have been wanting to come up in the challenge cup for a while!
It will be all ticket no doubt about that! And if this was later on in the rounds, it would be a huge money maker for you and that I would guess most Bradford fans with any common sense would feel bad about! I have jokingly said on the bulls board move it to odsal and give Halifax 100% of the ticket sales profit and 50/50 profits from the bar etc so that you can get some money out of it. RFL seriously need to think about this for next season though taking into account what Bulls have done and the liklihood other teams will follow suit as it is harsh on all the fans who have got a ticket and are entitled too a freebie.

It is a big issue to most clubs if you look at the draw , only one all SL clash means around 8 other Championship clubs will make bugger all from this round of the Challenge Cup , with 3 others drawing clubs with no decent traveling support anyway
Basically the Challenge Cup is dead as far as Championship clubs are concerned as a money making venture

I do think you are in a slightly worse situation, but I do see your point, if you get a home draw you should be able to benefit from it! I would suggest the RFL are compensating for it. I would guess though most other fans don't have everyone signed up too a season ticket, so maybe have walk up options. Most people likely to go too a bradford game now have a season ticket.
