Thanks

I didn't get the email but if they offer us one game in a hospitality box next season, they can keep the money. It's gone and though it would be nice to have it back I am very lucky in that currently, everything crossed, I am not desperate to have it.

There are seven of us that go together and I reckon we'd all think the same.

I'd say there could be a 4th category. The habitual attenders of games who, now the habit is broken, have found other things to do and will want the money back before walking away for good.

I personally won't be asking the money back, but I understand how lucky I am to be in that position.

The owners are in an uneviable position. They have to get the tone right. The facts are that if they do give even most ST money back, then the club will go under. However they can't be seen to use this as emotional blackmail and to make people feel guilty who need the money back as a lot of people are really struggling. Some comments from some chairman have been uncomfortable when reading about players unwillinging to accept paycut or pitiful contracts. I thought Sawyer came across well in the email.

I like Scareys suggestion of at least one free game in hospitality next year, but how many hospitality spaces do we have? Would they be e enough for all season tickets.

Hopefully the news of f JK signing up for another 2 years and Danny Brough looking like signing on may encourage more to forego this year and just as importantly, sign up next year.

Email from the club has gone to all season ticket holders. Option A, B and C....

I am sure you are aware of the current situation that affects Bradford and all Rugby League clubs, and the Bulls are fortunate that the coaching and office staff have made an incredible gesture of taking a voluntary pay cut to help keep the club running smoothly.

I have to say, I'm dubious about the whole "donate your money" bit. Sounds like a familiar tune that Bulls supporters have heard over and over for the last 10 years or so.

Also, the fact that a lot of people didn't get the email in the first instance - myself included - along with the "if we don't hear from you, we're going for option A" bit, does make it seem a little scammy?

Emails only went to lead booker for Season Tickets

The content of the email is no different to many others I’ve seen, including Huddersfield town who said exactly the same

Yes , I'm the lead booker and I got the email and went for option A. My thinking is the moneys gone so if it helps the club so be it. I know with covid some won't be able to do this. One thing I haven't heard is anything about the car park passes.

All clubs are pretty much doing the same thing. Even those with benefactors. Yes we have a history of pulling at our supporter's heartstrings but I think this time it's a little different.

The email situation is a little concerning, though. I know the email address linked to my season ticket purchase definitely hasn't received anything.
