Bradford will win Superleague again before your club even scratches the surface of being relevant. HTH.

Given everything that's happened, a crowd of 4K is still a good showing from Bradford. Yes I know there probably wasn't that many there yesterday and the figure included all season tickets, but still, it shows there is still a want for RL in Bradford

Out of interest how many season tickets have we sold?

To keep the interest and attendances growing I would suggest some signings this week....

Also bring the away kit out, purely from a business point of view keep the money Rolling in..

WHY "will there have been"? You just made that up! What is your problem?

The stand was reasonably full and I would be certain it had over 3000 in it. Having sat in it on matchdays for decades, I am in a good position to judge, and far better than someone who wasn't even there. The central area where i sit hardly had a spare seat.

Given the rest of the attendees elsewhere in the ground I would reckon there were indeed somewhere around 4000 in the ground so rather than try to be a smart attendances expert for no apparent reason, why not applaud the minor miracle of getting 4000 to pay to watch a scratch team almost bound to lose, in Siberian conditions?

Seriously, some "rugby league fans" have sad issues.

He has a reason, he's a Cougars fan with a chip on his shoulder.

Er, how do you know half the crowd wasn't freebies, and how do you know we aren't overspending even as you dribble?

Staying within topic, mainly...

If we are watching the pounds & pennies, does the advantage of having everyone in the provident stand, with the reduced stewarding requirements, under a roof (weather & acoustics), outweigh the disadvantages?

Basically, we were forced by weather to do that yesterday, is it worth considering doing that every home game, by choice?

If they considered it for every home game this season, I would think it's then going to cost them some money in refunding those season ticket holders who've paid for the Prov. Stand with the £50 difference that the terracing folk haven't paid.

Might have been a good idea before the season, but surely not practical now?

This ^

Also for games versus HKR and Fax we'd need the rest of the ground.

Then there's the possibility of cup games versus SL opposition that would bring a few. Obvs not needed for Hudders though

Also, being selfish, I really really hate watching games from the stand.

Yesterday I couldn't even get to my seat. As a one-off "needs must" I'll stand for it, but I don't see why I should be sold a £249 ticket if the cheapest ground pass can sit in my chair.

Precisely. And even though there will be the odd fan that will have a season ticket for the stand who will say "It's ok, if it saves a few quid for the club I don't mind", there will in fact be 99% of those who bought them feeling a bit ripped off, even if they don't want to make an issue out of it (which of course some will).

I've gone in the stand this year, but that's largely because my knees are feeling my age a bit and I prefer to be sat now. I understand the health & safety reasons for doing it yesterday, but if it happened regularly, I'd be asking questions in the ticket office.

I didn't like sharing the stand to be fair! Those fearful oiks from the other side made it far too noisy

And would you believe, AND, the 'Come on You Bulls' reached three repetitions before fizzling out! Disgraceful...

I must have been sat at the opposite end then, as I barely heard any noise other than people abusing the referee and trying to help point out how often Rochdale were offside.

Either that or my eardrums had frozen. Which is fairly likely.
