Kareoke would be better than some of the acts we've had.

I'd prefer they had 4/5 top notch acts for the "bigger" games of the season and had a play with the pre match format in the other games.

I think more fan v opposition fans participation would be good.
Didn't we talk about getting bulltag going between two sets of fans pre match? Wouldn't need the whole pitch if it was 7 a side or similar.

Other things away from music are an option too.
From the top of my head we've had parachuting, absailing, police dogs to name but a few. These were all enjoyable, had people watching and in the case of the police dogs; give a link between the Bulls and other good things being done in the commuinity.

that army demonstration team we had was excellent.those that did the pretend fighting.very entertaining.

AFAIK the police dogs and Royal Marines will be back this season.

Agree about the fan participation.

Would be more than happy to have a game of Bulltag. I know of a few teams that'd be up for that. Last summer we had the "Tri Village Tournament" between Lost Loiners, Rawdon Rhinos and Bradford Whelks which was a big success. The Whelks just lost out in the final.

I'm sure all three teams would be more than up for a re-run on Odsal's hallowed turf!

Any chance of us non local fans getting involved though!
A team called Non Bradford Bulls.....? There would be a few that qualify on here, teeside bull, preston bull, my good self, that's three without even thinking aabout it

and the police dogs. They were very popular with the crowd. I've never seen that kind of crowd reaction for dodgy singers.

They used to have a karaoke van up by the Rooley Lane terrace on matchdays, many a classic performance could be seen there pre-match!

Ah yes, I remember that. It often seemed louder than tha actual "main act"

I've just been looking at Hull FC's ebay shop.
Perhaps it'd be a good idea for the Bulls to have one too.
It'd be a lot more visible than the official online store which is not exactly high tech!
They could use it to sell the normal range of shop goods. Each one only needs a photo and the items are easy to set up and manage. Customer payments are easily handled through pay pal and ebay deal with time wasters through the points system where bad payers are shown up as such.
Hull sell one-off items through theirs. Ex players shirts and special offers and all kinds of things. It could be a real money spinner.

I've been meaning to ask for some time if there's any reason why we can't have a cash machine at Odsal.
I know there have been security issues before but I think measures have been taken to sort that out and anyway it could go in the ticket office or something. The nearest cash machines are at Morrisons or up in Wibsey (There's one in the All Days shop on Odsal road but it's rarely working).

Pubs and shops get ones in which make a small charge of which the host gets a cut. Also people spend more money if they can get cash.
I'm always running short of cash on match days and I'd use it for sure.

As well as potentially showing the U21 games before the main event - how about "Bradford Schools Cup Finals"?

I remember (granted about 15 years ago now) playing on the hallowed turf for Buttershaw against St.Bedes and getting hammered.

I'd just started getting into playing / watching rugby (as I was a footballer) and it helped get me hooked.

There must be a good 4-5 age groups (circa under 12-18's) where a cup competition can be run (maybe by the Bulls) with the finals at Odsal before a game.

Parents of the finalists are sure to come see their kids play - maybe getting a few to come back in the future after getting the bug?

We booked a box in the Coral stand for the Warrington game for my Mums birthday.

The whole day was fantastic and they even got some of the players (who weren't playing!) to come and have their photo taken with my Mum (and Bullboy too).

The only down side was the cost.

I wonder whether the club have considered giving boxes to non corparate parties at a reduced rate.

I appreciate they want to fill the boxes with peolpe paying full money, but I rang a couple of days before and got a box and it never looks full up there.

So maybe they could say: 2 days prior to a game the remaining boxes will be sold off at a discounted rate.

You would probably have to limit it to once per season or something to stop people doing it all the time.

It would certainly get potential new fans through the gates. Of our party of 10, 6 don't go to games and 2 had never been to a rugby game before.

£350 + VAT + beer

It probably made it worse because I thought it was £350 "all in"
