I didn’t get an email either. Is another option a slightly reduced ST over next 3yrs? I know as a fan you are gambling on ownership or admin not being an issue but for anyone who can’t afford to write off but don’t want to put club in a bad position short term gives them an option?

2020 Season Update
I hope you and your families are keeping well.
It has been a long while since we at the Bulls have properly interacted with the club’s biggest asset; you the fans, our army of season ticket holders.
The main reason being that there has been little to report.
We all have had and still have many things to worry about. I know for many of you the Bulls are an important part of your lives.
I am pleased to say that from the 1st of July some staff will return part time. The office will be open on limited hours, which represents a small step forward alongside our Online Shop being open for business.
John Kear has agreed a two-year extension deal and he and all his staff have agreed and volunteered to a wage reduction.
Staff have recognised the difficult position the club faces moving forward together with the importance of retaining our academy, which we 100% intend to do.
It has recently come into the public domain that Sky distribution is to be reduced next year for which the Championship will share its appropriate burden.
We have made steps over the past few months in building back a club that I hope you will once again be proud of. It remains our main aim to get back to Bradford as soon as possible. The lockdown may have extended our stay outside however we are determined and focused on delivering this aim.
We are also focused with John at the helm to have as strong as possible a side for next year.
Whatever happens this year and we are hopeful of playing more matches in front of a crowd, it is unlikely, unfortunately, we will fulfill all 13 home fixtures for you and other season ticket holders.
The shareholders have funded the club through this difficult period. However, we are going to have some tough months in front of us. I would ask you to consider your own position in regards to your 2020 season ticket purchase and give me or John your thoughts on what you feel.
It is difficult asking season ticket holders who have given so much in the past but I feel I must.
As soon as we can have a public meeting I would be pleased to meet all but until then please email myself at mark.sawyer@bradfordbulls.co.uk or John Kear at john.kear@bradfordbulls.co.uk and if you would like to talk to me I would be pleased to return a call.
I hope to keep yourselves informed on a regular basis as before the lockdown.
We most certainly will be available to be contacted at the club after the 1st of July.
Let's move forward hopefully to a positive future.
Many Thanks
Mark Sawyer

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.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the club, the club has made positive strides forward on and off the field in 2020 but we recognise the difficulties the pandemic has left everyone in.
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.
We thank you for your substantial feedback to our previous email and on the back of your suggestions, we have come up with three options for Season Ticket holders to choose between.
Once plans for the rest of 2020 are confirmed in regards to the Invitational Tournament, the club will look to action any pro-rata refund requested. This will be completed by the end of September.
Given the difficulties the Coronavirus pandemic has placed on the club, if financially viable we would kindly ask you to select Option A.
Following your kind consultation, your options as a Season Ticket holder are listed below:-
Option A – Donate the value of games missed to help support the future of the Bradford Bulls.
By donating the value of games missed you will receive the following:-
Season Ticket Price Freeze for Three Years.
Personalised Roll of Honour Plaque based at Odsal/Dewsbury.
Your Name incorporated in the design of a Limited Edition 2021 Playing Shirt.
Free Entry to 2020 Invitational Tournament Qualifying Rounds (Subject to Participation)
Option B – Donate the value of games missed to help support the future of the Bradford Bulls and receive a third off the price of your 2021 Season Ticket alongside free entry to the 2020 Invitational Tournament Qualifying Rounds (Subject to Participation)
Option C – Request a pro-rata refund based on the number of home games played in the 2020 season.
Please complete the online form by Friday 28th August. CLICK HERE to access the form.
By submitting this form, you are adhering to the terms and conditions of the option you have selected. If you do not respond prior to the deadline, we will automatically apply Option A to your entitlement.
Thank you for your support and taking the time to consider your options, we look forward to hearing from you.
Mark Sawyer
Acting CEO
Bradford Bulls

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?

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. |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

The club have put an apology on their facebook page, as they only sent mails to the "lead" address on the original application. They are, apparently, now going to send to all the other people individually so hopefully this should be resolved quickly. That said, I guess there are still going to be names which have 'gone missing' from the database. I'm guessing again but I 'd expect the majority of 'multiples' to be family groups, so maybe not a problem in those cases?
