| 5 new signings announced today. Their squad for next season is a vast improvement on this seasons squad. I can see them going unbeaten next season.

| Needs to be a good squad to compete with ours
I'm sure Bradford will be favourites to win most games but RL is next season back to being each match important for every club and you never know what could happen........... after all who'd have predicted Bradford would be relegated if asked 5 years ago
Still got this season to complete (hopefully with a trophy) but must admit really looking forward to next year.
Get next years ST's on sale before the play offs end

I will take that wager - £10 to the Hospice from whoever loses??
They are asking their fans to pay for it with season tickets at £230 to stand and £280 to sit in that hovel of a ground

No better place to watch rugby in the world than Odsal.......
Seriously, the Bulls really are putting together a strong squad and more importantly strong business plan for next year. The new regime have brought excitement back to Odsal and while no fan wants to get relegated I believe that every Bulls fan is looking forward to next season. Personally very confident that the team will do well but going unbeaten is a tough call with some very good teams in Leigh, London, Fev and Fax. Every team will be up for it when playing the Bulls next year......
As far as the fans paying for the team, you are exactly right but the new owners have been very clear from day 1 that they are going to run the club as a business and at least try to break even - this is critical after the debacle of the past few years. The owners have given fans a full time SL level team at a ground where most fans {Bulls fans that is.... } want to be and need the fans to support this return with a fair season ticket price.
Good luck to Leigh next year and lets hope the top 4 in the Championship can really make it tough for the bottom 4 SL teams.........

953.jpg 2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

| That season ticket price is nearly 50% more than I paid for my Leigh season ticket. Theres few enough away fans as it is in this division. There'll be even fewer who can afford to go to see their team at Bradford. Shocking price.

| To be fair to Bradford they were accused of selling Season Tickets to cheap previously which was then a contributory factor to their financial crisis.
Whilst I agree that it appears a little expensive , in terms of numbers 3,500 season ticket holders @ £280, is no different to 7,000 season ticket holders @ £140 in terms of revenue.
Bradford would still have a big support in the championship but I am not overly concerned about them if I am totally hionest.
The real issue for us is how do we keep the momentum going at Leigh and how do we devise a strategy to ultimately fill our own ground with bums on seats ?

Great post - the reality is income pays wages and as Harold says 3500 can generate as much as 7000, so is it easier to get the hardcore to pay more or will sufficient numbers back a low priced alternative?
Think we will have a great comp next season

| Bradford will be much better next season, they've got the time to build the squad and their money worries seem to be sorted now. Don't think anyone will go unbeaten next season though. We'll be much better from going full time as well, the 2nd place money will help Fev who'll be better without a mad owner throwing a mad strop ever other week before walking out. London will also be better than this year with a proper pre-season and time to sign players, also being full time will mean they'll be up there. It's going to be very tight at the top next season.
