Good to see Bradford back on the up. The SL was all the poorer for it when you started to go into freefall

Why ?

Because they are a big club with potentially huge support with a big (if crumbling) stadium. All true fans used to love watching the team of the Paul brothers tear teams (except when it was their own) apart when Bradford were in their pomp

Good Point well put


Great work from the Bulls Business management team....their crowds are only half the problem. They need to get their team performing consistently and challenging for honours.....and a lick of paint wouldn't do their slum of a ground any harm either.
Maybe if they get a home Play-off game this year they could waive admission charges for a bring a brush day

Agreed, the sport and Super League is stronger with aBradford pulling in crowds.

Except since they have been struggling , other clubs prosper , surely that is what we want , rather than the same 3/4 clubs dominating ?

What other clubs have prospered?

Warrington, for one. Two Challenge Cup wins after nearly forty years of not winning it. Crowds up, too. They weren't one of the "big 4" when Bradford were doing well.

Don't think they need Bradford's fall for their rise. Bradford were hardly holding them down for all that forty years.

At that has what precisely to do with Bradford?

See under "Simon Moran".

I didn't say Warrington's rise was anything to do with Bradford. Clearly, it isn't.

Starbug's point was (I think) that if one club is not winning things, another club must be and that it's better when we don't have the same clubs winning things for year after year.

What Bradford have achieved with this season ticket deal is fantastic. I'd expect a lot of other clubs are looking very closely at it. I don't think it works for everybody - Bradford have the spare ground capacity that some clubs don't, plus the existing precedent of Bradford City doing a similar scheme.
