Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Well obviously to some extent it would, because then those who can't attend games couldn't listen either, and its easy to get out of the habit of going, /watching / listening - hard to get people back into the habit.
Come again? Tests? You set tests? Failed? Wow, bet he won't sleep now! Surely only existing Bulls fans - or I expect a handful of opposition fans, or bored general sports fans - who can't go, are ever going to constitute the audience? That much seems clear, and if he was the best broadcaster since John Arlott, the number wouldn't materially change, so I'm struggling to understand the point, or more to the point, whether there actually is a point.
There IS a different point though, and that is, it's a decent commentary, it's reliable and it's free. If I didn't go, I'd choose to listen to that. What else is so important to you?'"
Ignore "Bulls On Fire" he's another one of the anti Mick/Ross brigade.
As I posted in the BCB thread a couple of weeks ago, the listening figures for the broadcasts fluctuate massively - is the game at home, away in West Yorkshire, away in Cumbria, on Sky Sports etc...
But I can comfortably say that the average per game this year is around the 7,500 mark - that's including both online and FM.
We get regular listeners from America, Australia, South Africa, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Russia and Ireland.
The Bradford Bulls brand is very much still alive and kicking.
On a match day the listener interaction from the supporters is so great that we're now looking for a third member to join me and Hobbo, just to specifically monitor all the communication we get snowed under with on a match day.
