| Quote DG Sport="DG Sport"From What I've heard, the Actual amount needed was £496.5K.
When we confirmed our pledge, i was told that was at £387.5k.
Thus meaning that the Bulls needed to make at least £109.0k.
£109,000 / 20,821 = £5.25 per person
20,821 fans, say 3500 use their season ticket (say short on cash, Leeds fans with sour grapes or just wanting to watch the game for nothing (no disrespect intended to Leeds Fans)). - Average Ticket Price paid approx £12 meaning
17,321 x £12 = £207,864
Lighting costs, Stadium costs, Car Parking costs, Staff Costs (turnstiles & Gambles, ect). (Atleast Half of the Money coming through the gates)
That would help scrape the Barrel and just make enough with the bucket collections.
Ive been part of a company running a rugby Club in the past and it is a very hard business, an average game in front of 5000 people at an average ticket price of £12.50 used to bring in just over £16,000 profit
Just hope that the bulls have done the fans efforts Justice.'"
The club had already announced everything over 16,000 went straight into the fund to save the club as the budget etc was based on 16,000. Based on that theory and taking into account kids, students, the £5 tickets etc plus tax I think my calculations stand.

| If we are not, after all the efforts and after wonderful wonderful gestures like yours, I really don't know what else we supporters and our friends could have done.

You, as fans, have done everything physically possible to help your club survive. You've gone above and beyond really what fans should have to do to support their club. Whatever the outcome, you can all be justifiably proud of the support and loyalty you have shown to the club and the name of Bradford Bulls.

You had me doubting I had read it! Hopefully we have, thank you for your donations! Let's hope we have done it, never been prouder to be a bulls fan and a rugby league fan! So many clubs have helped, it's beyond belief!

| Surely if we were anywhere near to the target there would have been a more frenzied last minute appeal for cash? If we only needed another £20,000 - £30,000 they'd have kept the pledge open another day, begged fans to pledge or increase their pledges this morning. We'd have had ex players like Robbie Paul on the pitch before the game and at half time making emotional appeals. Yes there were people with buckets, but the club didnt seem to be be drawing the fans attention to them, asking for that extra fiver that might make the difference.
We've either made the target comfortably or are well short. Or they've got a buyer lined up.

If the board were confident of reaching the target or had already reached the target why not announce it last night, sadly by putting the announcement back to today, can only been that the target as not been raised and that you are going into administration. Then again administration might be the best option for you.
It was a cracking atmosphere last night and the better team on the night won. On a lighter note how many times does that Muppet Steve Bailey have to tell us "I''m Steve Bailey"

| Does not follow at all, since they need to know how much was raised at and as a result of the game before making final decision.

I hope you do reach the target, but I ain't confident and i don't fall for everything that your club's board as been saying.

They had a big backlog of pledges and weren't able to count them all in time along with the proceeds of the match and bucket collections last night. I'm more than confident after being in the office yesterday afternoon.

| Does anyone know how the pledge announcement will be made? On a radio station, via the club's website, or simply as a statement to the press, filtering out to other sources as soon as the journos can upload it?
It's going to be frustrating if we just have to keep hitting refresh on the website!
