Pathetic post.

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



given they have got the numbers in the past then there is clearly 13K+ RL fans in Bradford who would support them. The gurus of marketing and game day experience have totally lost their way and need to find the spark that made them the summer club of the 90's. An exciting team wouldn't go amiss either!

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



The crowds have never recovered from the move to Valley Parade. They took a drop which was expected to recover once they returned to Odsal - that never happened.

The marketing has never moved on since Deakin and combined with a weaker side the incentive to watch the Bulls simply isn't there for the floating supporter.

For me a merger with Halifax and a move to the now complete Shay would be a good move - reduced overheads, reduced stadium costs etc.

Not that daft in some respects. I feel a merged side playing in a stadium with it's halfway line on the municipal border somewhere in Shelf could have been a goer. Fax have got their own problems right now though.

Quote: Serge A. Storms "The crowds have never recovered from the move to Valley Parade. They took a drop which was expected to recover once they returned to Odsal - that never happened.'"

The average crowds in the first year back at Odsal were higher than in the last three years at Odsal before the move to Valley Parade.

Crowds started dropping off after the first year back at Odsal.

Keep Bradford at Odsal because we need stadiums that take us back to the 80s. If every club moved into a modern stadium nothing would be nostalgic anymore.
