Quote: SmokeyTA "Bradford may very well have the largest figure in next seasons championship but thats still going to be thousands less than their SL attendance. If Bradford can get 3k averages they will be more than a third more than other championship sides. They will be a good 7k less than last year, and about 9k less than 2012 when they went bust.
The parachute payment is still less than SL TV money.
The SL2 playoffs will get championship huge exposure, not SL huge exposure. Bradford arent pulling in 5 figures for those games lets be honest.
The championship isnt 'a breather' i honestly dont know where this myth came from other than the coincidence of Huddersfield getting relegated and Ken Davy deciding to pump in millions. For Bradford the championship will see huge drops in income from Tv, fans, merchandise and sponsorship, with their biggest expenditure in Odsal staying the same, and their 2nd biggest in playing squad needing to be increased from right now if they are to be better than the worst SL side.'"
Of course everything is going to be scaled down, salary cap and income is going to reduce.
But of all the teams left in the championship next season the Bulls will be best placed to make a swift return.
As for marketing, that's down to your marketing team. But a winning team , which is likely to get quite a lot of tv exposure has to be easier to market than the dross that us currently being served up?
I guess the biggest hurdle is your cost for running Odsal, but the RFL can't let you play elsewhere, so I'm sure they will adjust their costs , if need be, if some clever negotiations took place.
