When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



Well, just on this thread and people i know, we're up to 30. Plus there was a lot of people signing up at the game.

I'm confident that the 10k will be reachable

Quote: chpntpsr "The club should look into getting a stall at the freshers fair at bradford uni, flog all the students season tickets when they have just got their loans, would only need a couple of people to run it, and could get loads of pledges.

Will be +2 pledges at £99 when I've finished on halo/stop reading rlfans on my blackberry.'"



Think that is a good idea, maybe even at Supermarkets and in town etc etc.

Right serious question. Say I pledge 2x £99 and they don't get the 10,000, how much does the ticket cost then? Didn't notice any prices for if the 10,000 isn't met.

The truth that you're a pile of rat droppings? Well, I suppose you're at least man enough to admit it. That should take some of the sting out.

Null and void. You could then buy the ticket for the full cost, but won't be forced to.

The best i could guess is that if they don't get to 10,000 the whole scheme is null and void.

Maybe someone could clarift?

I'd imagine the Bulls don't want to be announcing prices just yet in the event that 10,000 isn't met. I'd imagine in a few weeks they'll have a better idea if they target can be met.

My worry is that too many Bulls fans have just lost faith over the past few years. I do think 10000 is very achievable mind.

What I'm actually asking is what is full price? Can't see any mention of it and it's a fair question as people will want to know if things don't add up to 10.000 in the end. It's ok getting carried along with the idea but being a pessimist you can see where I'm coming from.

Well I've put in two for now but may but another two in if we start struggling.

I know my two brothers are going to pledge as is my mum and my uncle.

Matt text me to say that he's in the pub and four in there have pledged for next season.

I know of three supporters today at the ground who are doing the same as me and buying two for £120.

We should have the 10,000 by mid september and what a great idea whoever it was who said get a stall up outside the university.

Great stuff and should get at least 50/100 extra pledges.

COME ON YOU BULLS!!!!!!!!!

Assuming the target is reached, it'll be academic anyway what the full price would be?

I believe the intent is to issue/confirm the pricing once they have reached the pledge deadline and know how many pledges they have.

Quote: Mick Gledhill "The Bradford Bulls board hope that by offering the lowest prices in Super League for the 2011 season will prove a big attraction and help fill the stands at Odsal Stadium.

The average Super League attendance this season at the Grattan Stadium, Odsal has dropped from 9,677 in 2009 to 8,520 this year which means that for the past two years, have been the only seasons since Super League started in 1996 that have seen the Bulls average crowd drop below the 10,000 figure.

This is a bold move for the club, because the McNamara years have done some irreversible damage to supporters appetite for Rugby League in Bradford with some truly terrible on-field performances over the past three years.

But this move from the board allowing Bradford to offer the cheapest season tickets in Super League in 2011, deserves to be given the chance to work.

Because you can't offer the cheapest season tickets in Super League if it's only going to add a few 100 to the core support.

It really needs everyone to come out of the woodwork, from behind the sofa, out of the pubs and return to Odsal to support the Bradford Bulls.

I believe that what Peter Hood and Stuart Duffy have looked at is the Bradford City model which has been a great success for the past four years since it was introduced down at Valley Parade where supporters can get a season ticket for as little as £100 (£6 per game).

Before Bradford City dropped the prices to historic lows the average crowd was just over the 6,000 mark, now it's over 10,000.

The Bradford supporting public have notoriously been the most fickle in the UK, when the going is good it's good, but when it's bad and we must take stock the past two seasons of have been bad by the standards we set in the early days of Super League, so 2011 being 1996 all over again for the Bulls as a club needs some real enterprise shown by the club as this season ticket offer IMO delivers that message to the supporters.

How many other Super League clubs would dream of having a 8250 average crowd, I can think of Castleford, Wakefield, Salford, Harlequins, Catalans and Crusaders RL to just to name six.

So the club already has one of the best supporter bases in Super League for which to work on and I firmly truly believe that once Mick Potter has had the offseason to work with the new players and the existing squad members, that the performances and results will pick up, but more importantly attendances will very quickly pick up such is the fickle nature of the Bradfordian.

2011 is the re-birth of the Bradford Bulls, it's 1996 all over again for me.'"


I was right in that we have done a copy of the Bradford City model and please someone change the title of this thread.

The Pledge site says that after 12th November all pricing increases by 50%. This would make a ground ticket £90.

Anyway, pledged.

Anyone?

Never had a season ticket before and maybe a daft question but can you get flexible seating season tickets?
Reason being is that we never know how many of us will be coming to the game and if we are given fixed seats for the year then we probably will be sat apart.

[b:1zy5cey6]"...To those people that wrote this team off... to all those that criticised this team... tonight's for you" [/b:1zy5cey6] [i:1zy5cey6]Sir Kevin Sinfield[/i:1zy5cey6]:27794.gif



IMO the Bulls are quite rightly trying to stop the recent decline in attendances, which is a very good idea in principal

Afterall, "hypothetically" if you reached the magical 10,000 fans and they all signed up to paying £60 for the standing up option, Then this will only bring in £600,000 which wouldn't sustain a SL club in the long term would it not?

How many seasons does this excellent offer last for, have you been told?

If it is for next season only, then the club are clearly hoping that all the season ticket holders will have "the bug" and will return the season after when prices may have to rise slightly and in each subsequent season

If this offer is to be rolled out past next season then the Bulls obviously want to potentially fill the ground to capacity every week and thus reap the rewards in other marketable areas such as merchandising and match day takings inside the ground etc

Obviously the Bulls have done their maths and i applaud them in their efforts to bring those big crowds back once again

Just out of interest, what's to stop people breaking their 'promise' when they sign up?

Are you binded by a contractual agreement when you pledge or do you have to pay part of the price or what?
