The Bulls have a deal with Proper Sport to stream all their games live on Facebook for free. A good use of social media in order to get more eyes on the sport and try to encourage lapsed Bradford fans to watch the team again and possibly return to watching live.
Workington have pulled permission for this afternoon's game and are claiming that big, bad Bradford are trying to bully them because the livestream will damage their gate. But that they're not treating Bradford like a cash cow

Poor form by Workington, who should be grateful that they are at home playing a team with a huge fan base (by League 1 standards) and thus substantial traveling support.

Workington are spot on, why do they have to accommodate Bradford’s latest vanity project - since when ha it ever been acceptable to stream live games for free - how the hell does that benefit the game.
Bradford as arrogant as ever.

Yes, because more people watching the sport is CLEARLY a bad idea. And Workington won a famous victory this afternoon, if only there'd been a way for people all over the country to see it. They could have attracted more than the 600 or so people from Workington who showed up today to their next home game

How many Bradford fans attended, how many fans would not attend if the game was televised, particularly given the distance/weather, how many home fans may not have gone either if it were shown?
So fraud frenchie, what is the revenue difference and what are Workington actually grateful for, precisely?

Oh bore off with the arrogance line. End of day its Workingtons loss IMO workington had a great victory over us today (deservedly so) and yet barely 600 Cumbrians saw it and theres no way they or we as a sport can now show that off to try get people through Towns gates for future.
Since Bradford streaming their games our crowds have increased, the viewing figures have been impressive with proper sport. Is it proof it works. No. Isnit worth carrying it on and as a sport for once why don't we work together and try help the sport grow. I want Workington to increase their crowds.
Crowds are plummeting, sky viewing figures are plummeting, participation levels are at an all time low. Lets keep doing what we're always doing now though and hoping for different results.
BTW i thought the tone of our statement was poor. But i believe the decision by Workington to ban the steam is the reason we're a small time sport at the moment.

| Bloody hell you'd think Workington turned down the chance to be shown on Sky or BBC and not just some little stream.
