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.... ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) } 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.........

| 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

I agree, I am more excited than ever about next year. I feel it is going to be a splendid season of Rugby League.

| 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.

| It is a little to early for predictions granted given that player recruitment is far from complete, but I would not be surprised if the 2015 season was to end.
1) Bradford
2) Leigh (Not far behind)
3) London
4) Featherstone Rovers.
5) Halifax
I would hazard a guess that I will not be to far from the mark.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| £ 20 to stand and watch Leigh play at Iconic Odsal next year ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Well I'll be paying it. It's one game that you will have to do it. I really don't think that £20 is a lot to watch the quality of RL that I have witnessed this season. Having said that it would have a dramatic effect on our crowds if that was the price at Leigh.

| They charged £20 this season and would fully expect them to at least be slightly reduced next year. Not that much more than a lot of clubs in these league anyroad, including ourselves.

| Have we announced admission prices next year ? I would reserve judgement until then. I would imagine we wont be far behind if I am honest.
Afterall we fans all wanted a full time squad this year to give us the best possible shot at it. It therefore needs to be paid for. It does not come cheap even with some prize money thrown in.
The question is are all of our fans prepared to share the burden with the board of assembling an ultra competitive squad?
From the lines of this thread I conclude some are not.
