| Quote Roofaldo="Roofaldo"So, correct me if im wrong here, but I think what you are saying Adey is that, far from losing money on this cut price bargain of a season ticket that us Bulls fans can enjoy, the club is actually in a position to MAKE money on it?'"
Of course. The club would not have entertained this initiative had it not been guaranteed to improve our income compared with what would otherwise have been!!
The big gamble they took was whether enough people would back the club's faith in its fans with their faith in the club. And it paid off. Because more than enough of us did. And how!

| Quote gateaux="gateaux"To be fair before reading your posts on the issue on the VT I had my doubts about the long term feasibility of the scheme but they certainly cleared things up. So sometimes it is worth arguing the point and those who bother to read it will see it is a fantastic scheme and fantastic achievement by Bradford. Of course you will always get those who won't read it or will just ignore what is written but most will see the point.'"
Your so right. And it is a fantastic scheme that fits perfectly with where we find ourselves as an organisation. If the model works (same or increased overall income from more people paying less) then I would suggest there are more clubs that could benefit from similar schemes next year. (some clubs could have benefited this year in advance of franchise decisions too!?)

| You have to remember that the one's bragging about doing this tend to be morons. The club will have checks in place to weed out fake pledges, so all they've done is waste their own time.
And a lot of them also tend to be from clubs who can only dream of a minimum home average attendance of 10k+
So just sit back and laugh at sad, pathetic losers. I know I will be

| Quote Adeybull="Adeybull"Mick, leave them alone on Substandard and elsewhere. They all know you are so easy to wind up, and therefore they go for it without mercy. There are those on Substandard and elsewhere who will refuse to listen, and will try and twist the argument regardless, no matter how irrefutable your own argument is. Don't play their game - do what annoys them the most - ignore them and just laugh at them.
Incidentally, I think you also need to look more especially to Andrew Bennett for this initiative.'"
I've yet to meet Andrew, will have to tick that off my list for next season.

| Quote orange trance guru="orange trance guru"On top the pledges real or fake how many day trippers excluding away fans are you expecting on average next season?
Is it realistic to expect 17k for the Rhinos game and an average around 14.5k.
Also what do u expect to happen in 2012 when season ticket prices triple?'"
They will not triple.
Even if they reverted back to last year's prices.
I will pay just over 50% this year of what I paid last year. Many will pay a considerably higher percentage, albeit still with a good saving.
You have been suckered by the headline £60 rate like so many others, completely ignoring the existing early-bird and season ticket discounts already in place and the lower % savings e.g in the stand.
And anyway, for such time as we are stuck in a huge ground with no capacity constraints, this pricing model - suitably tweaked - is likely to be sustainable.

| Quote Adeybull="Adeybull"You can still (to the best of my understanding) have a contract the performance of which is dependent upon a specific outcome, provided both parties agree that the contract is made subject to that condition, which then effectively becomes part of the contract?'"
Now I'm REALLY not up to speed on legal stuff, but what you've described here would work perfectly for a 'finders fee' whereby you agree to pay x subject to the other party producing certain goods. How they come about the goods is almost irrelevent and in this case the club has.
I think the legal bit is more around whether the people pledging can be seen to be reasonably expecting to be entering a binding contract. I'd say yes, but the degree of uncertainty/ambiguity as evidenced by subsequent press realeases explaining the minutiae, etc, would almost certainly cause any petition by the club to be thrown out in a matter of minutes.
But as has been said repeatedly, who cares? We get cheap season tickets and without the confusion there will be a LOT of people who will see product and price and will buy despite never having pledged.

| I wonder if the bulls will ever officially announce the number of memberships they end up selling. I hope so, and I hope it's close to (or even above) the number of pledges they achieved.

| Duckett said they were going to change the food stalls and things like that for 2011 IIRC.
With alot more people entering, surely they'll also be able to command a much higher fee from the food providers, and hopefully (like he said) they'll be negotiating a deal so the prices aren't as espensive.
