The problem Bradford - and Dewsbury - had was that the sold their season tickets too cheap. They didn't have the walk-up money through the turnstiles and they didn't have a huge wodge of cash up front either.

4000 season tickets ? You're lucky. That's only double your attendance for last year. It's five times ours.

And we didn't have the walk up money as well after so many poor performances, all I am trying to say is "well I've said it so many times"

Yes I appologise, I got my figures wrong it is 2500 and not the 4000 I stated.
So forget my point, not much difference between 2500 and 350.
After all what's the difference?

To clarify, I'm not saying that having good season ticket sales is a bad thing. BUT

1. Don't be so desperate that you discount them to a ridiculous level
2. Don't spend all the money within a month of receiving it and
3. It won't help you know how much you've got to spend on players because you'll need the players signed up well before the season ticket money comes in.

Quite correct on all counts, just common sense really, but when we are talking about the iconic bulls common sense went out of the window years ago! Percy's. Hook Norton Old Hookey 4.6% Mmm!

Crickey no wonder they've all got two heads and one eye and I thought it was that cloud coming over from Widnes.

Just as context, Bulls Season tickets are £40-£50 more than Fax (for a new ticket, not sure about renewals).

Before the comments start, I have a Fax Season ticket, and washed my hands several times and had to lie in a darkened room for an hour to recover after checking this on the Bulls web-site.

Interesting that a Sheffield fan has commented on this post. Is the concept of us competing with Bradford really that much stranger than Sheffield competing with the likes of us, Leigh and Fev like they have done over the past 5 years?? Money isn't everything, a decent coach and shrewd signings CAN close the gap.

John the way we beat Wigan yesterday be afraid , be very afraid , we had no Ridyard , no Platt, no Sarsfield, no Haggerty, but still won , our Pack is Monster ous this year, and with Armstrong and Worthington in the centres and Ben Reynolds joining Brierley at half back and Ridyard to come I can't wait for the season to start, to think GOD doesn't rate us, what is he drinking? Charlie knows.
