I'm sure there is no stalls that even do pies - staple diet of any self respecting Northern person..

Pre-match entertainment that's cheap and people might like - get an old player back each week. Post who it's going to be on here the week before, collect suggested questions, and have Stuart interview him on the pitch at half time or before the game.

Youtube virals to promote games - spamming people will put them off but if it's half funny people won't mind and will forward it on to current and lapsed fans alike. Get the players involved, two minutes with a handycam in the week and you're sorted.

So, this week's video could have been Simon Finnegan recreating, Phoenix from the Flames style, Dean Windass's goal: orange shirt and black shorts, the top of his head painted white, he zimmers up then volleys the ball from just short of the halfway line and we see it fly between the posts past a hayseed chewing goal keeper. Cut to the stands where Steve Mac and pals go mad, shouting Meanwhile, Cook says boss Steve McNamara has been reminding the players just how special a potential final date could be, having recently savoured the Wembley experience first-hand.

He said: "Steve Mac was down there to watch Hull City last Saturday. He's mentioned a few times since how electric it all was, the buzz and the atmosphere and how we could be a part of all that.'"

Not a bad idea!



But why not also have a marketing competition where the club ask for ideas. They could give prizes for the best ones. Make a big thing about it, pitchside presentation, opportunities to help make it happen, media coverage etc.

It gets people involved, makes them feel welcome and part of the team. We're all in it together etc. This is just the sort of thing we need to do to pull people together.

Have to say, I really like the Phoniex from the flames idea. Could be done for sky games and shown pre-match on the big screen. That's something that would encourage me to get there early. Far more than some unknown person the club has yanked off the local karaoke in the pub.

It would have been even better last year tbh because you could have had big names from Northern/Bulls past reliving big moments to celebrate the centinery.

Maybe the Paul Anderson hand of God, face of Connelly from 2003 would be a good starting point? Or Mick Wither's hat trick try from 2001?

To mark the return of a fully fit Nero, how about having a 'gladiators and slaves' day? Everyone could come wearing togas, armor and other kinds of Roman dress...

Mystic eddie could come as that pesky complainer tacitus

given that the Bulls logo is pretty well known these days, maybe merchandising (t shirts, baseball caps) that just used its outline would look good in a minimalist sort of way.

Can we have some action from the club on this idea for next year? A properly organised Neromania day would big success, and would vindicate me and my family for turning out in our gear for the HKR game.

I don't see why we don't try and turn the brand into clothing. But I do see why the club don't. It'd probably be a positve move and anything like that is RIGHT OUT when it comes to Bradford

Dear Mr Hood,
I wonder if you realise how dispiritating the range and quality of caterering at the Gratton Stadium really is for the rank and file supporters.
No doubt there are commercial agreements in place and franchises that benefit the Bulls in some financial way.
However it is clear to me that fewer customers are taking the "burger option" and those few that do are under sufference from a lack of any other alternative, especially those with children.
I will not propound the singulaly unheathly options available as this is not germain, rather I would ask you to consider providing a catering service to the fans of diversion.
I know that that the 20/30 people round ourselves in the Black seats eat their own sandwiches, quartered pork pies, roasted sausages, tuna salads,
chicken fricasses, onion bahgis, tandoori chicken legs, pop, crisps and sweets , and a miriad of of vegetarian meals that they have brought with them.
Are are you truly aware of your lost catering revenue.
Are you conscious of your lack of provision of healthy foods
Do you not want to provide your customers with catering options to provide a better experience at the stadium
Can you understand that the majority of supporters abhor the present rubish food on offer

Mr Hood, Get a grip. This is not rocket science
