| We paid over the League 1 odds in 2018 as we're not a League 1 club and were aiming higher. We succeeded.
We do not aim to be a Championship club permanently. If we ever have a team strong enough to compete to get promoted into SL and not be whipping boys and bounce straight back down, then we effectively need to intensify the rebuilding process, and set our stall at having a squad which would have some sort of a chance in the lower echelons of SL. So paying average Championship prices is unlikely to be enough to pay for a top-of-the-Championship-tree level squad. Remember the last time we were in the Championship? It hasn't got significantly easier or less competitive.
It would cost you £28.50 for a ticket in the gods at the Pantomime, for comparison, and if this pricing helps avoid any more pantomimes at Odsal then I'm all for it.
Whinge all you like about the prices, its a free country, but I'm sure Chalmers has done his sums and has a battle plan, and it is what it is. I could understand it more if you feel outpriced and can't watch, but given that you can choose to pay NOTHING and the club will let you watch the game live from your armchair, protests seem a tad churlish.

£25 is steep, but i'd rather pay that, have no winding up peitions, unpaid wages etc and see that we're progressing as a club.'"
...and where will the 'bulls' be in 20 years? Bankrupt again? Arrogance, keep it coming. Lol!

| What he’s saying is that he would rather pay a bit more and try to fund a team that can get us out of this division. It’s not that hard to understand

I fully understand what he's saying. Arrogance.

| It would seem our season ticket prices are at the higher end of the price scale but just about justifiable taking into account the squad we are assembling. But I don't see how anyone could really justify £25 to stand on our crumbling terraces if they could go away and pay £18/19 on the gate. Particularly early in the season when Odsal isn't exactly the most family friendly of places to be.
Let's hope the pre buy price will drop the cost to a more reasonable price point of around £21/22.
I don't really see the relevance of the cost of a panto ticket is, what is relevant is what your competition charge. I think most fans would pay a couple of quid extra to help the Bulls coffers but it has to be sensible.

Oh bore off. Sad. Pathetic and utterly tiresome. If you seriously can't look passed your obsession with our club and actually look at the point I'm making. It's pitiful.
Halifax are PT,theres a thread on there at the moment, comments from YOU agreeing saying unless they is serious investment you will remain in the championship. That's my point.
The OP was making a point of Fax, Batley, Dewsbury being cheaper, i was merely making the point they have all been in the championship for a long time. If we want to get back to SL we have to spend some brass and that will have to come from the fans.

| I thought the art of trolling was to irritate people by saying something that actually sort of makes sense. Pisspoor

| I've been to Odsal many times, and it's not great for watching a game of RL (no cover and little atmosphere as a result). £25 entrance would break the camel's back in terms of me going to Odsal next season.

This is correct, and the rule is enforced. Two seasons ago a Toulouse supporter started streaming games on Periscope and it was nipped in the bud when the RFL found out. Fev have asked if they can show the Touluse away game live in the past and have been turned down.
I think pre-season games are still allowed, though if Bradford do that they need to make sure the fans realise it's not going to continue into the regular season.

Championship games will be streamed next year. More details as to what, where, when and how will be announced shortly.

| Heres my thoughts on a flex ticket for any club, first you must categorize matches otherwise the 6 will be TO, TW, FEV, Widnes, Leigh and Fax. Cnt see them being used for Swinton, Rochdale, Sheffield and Barrow. Middle ground will be Batley, Dewsbury, York. Say 3 x Cat1 and 3 from rest?? Hope we, Leigh have that option
