was sculthorpe allowed to leave the bulls as long as he bought a pledge

lol

I could have told you he was garbage I can't believe you signed him he was a total waste of money for us and I won't even mention what a waste he has been for you.

Have you just copy and pasted this from the last thread about a player that once played for Wakefield?

I'm glad you laughed at that because it's absolutely pathetic.

There are many ways in which you can take the mick out of Bradford Bulls but you've failed this time.

So I was right baout you getting rid, he's moving to penrith, I cannot believe it lol! Who whould have thought!

imo i thought i tied together 2 pathetic ideas,and into one statement!
to enlighten you of my reasoning:
1:the bulls release an injury hit,but excellent player in glenn morrison,and replace him with an injury prone average player in danny sculthorpe

2:i can't understand why some fans think that as the bulls have reached their required target of 10,000 fans,each making their pledge for 2011 season tickets at £60 is deemed as a success?
how can any sl club be run on £600,000 from season ticket sales?

hence my quote that sculthorpe had to buy a pledge to be released!
you obviously think that sculthorpe was a cracking signing and that a £60 investment on your behalf was good business sense for the club then?

Give me strength.

Sculthorpe was not a replacement for Morrison. Last time I looked Morro was quota.

You and others have already been told on numerous occasions that:

1. It is only the cheapest tickets that are £60. Stand starts at £99. Concessions show far smaller reductions.

2. Achieving the pledge unlocks further income sources - not just in-ground and merchandise spend but - for example - JCT600 renewing their main sponsorship when before there was considerable doubt. In any case, we suspect there were other funding sources contingent upon the pledge target being achieved.

3. Season ticket gate receipts are only one of a club's income streams.

who did the bulls replace morrison with then?
was sculthorpe thus a luxury signing?

so what do you reckon that the income streams generated by the bulls faithful will generate to the business for as long as this pledge thing goes on for will be then?

If we try for a like for like swap in the squad, then aussie backrow called Glenn.. Morrison, left at the end of 2009 to be replaced by aussie backrow Glenn.. Hall.

My guess would be the 2nd Glenn might have cost a bit more than the 1st Glenn cap wise, but had no where near the impact of the 1st Glenn.

The closest swap for Danny might be Matt James, one squad prop who didn't play much for another, but probably just cost more. Not a luxury, more depth at prop, was Maccas plan at least, and we suffered all year in the front row as a result of Danny not being available with Hall, langley and others spelling prop and weakening the pack as a result.

You really can make yourself look very stupid sometimes.

Can you honestly not see how 10,000 fans at £60 a piece is better than 5,000 fans at £120 a piece, for example?

Or are you just on the wind up?


I seriously hope it's the latter.

10.000 fans @ £60 each = £600,000 per season
5,000 fans @ £120 each = £600,000 per season
looks the same to me pal?
only there will be twice as many fans paying half the price!
why not go one further for 2011 and try for 20,000 fans @ £30 = £600,000 per season



if you guys believe that a sl club can be run successfully and on such a low income stream which is mainly generated by only a guaranteed number of "pledge members" then imo the moment you lose the sponsor that is responsible for"topping your salary cap pot" up so significantly,you will be in trouble financially imo

i'm more concerned that you bulls fans havn't realised this yet!
