As mentioned elsewhere Bradford are building from the bottom up. It is strongly rumoured that starting with next season we are looking at during the match entertainment.

To complete the picture:
a) how many kids/adults comprise this few hundred
b) how much extra ticket money is that
c) how much is the 'spend' on this extensive promotion
d) how much is Diversity's fee

Before you ask I'm not knocking them, it's a positive and good move, but I doubt it's a path to riches, in fact I'd say on balance it's bound to cost them money. I doubt we'd be doing anything that doesn't have a "+" on the cash side of the equation just now, however 'popular'

Maybe they wouldn't make money on that day, but whats to say that the people that attend a game for the first time won't fall in love with the experience as a whole, and become regular supporters?

We'll probably get mullered and it'd most likely rain. Therefore they'd hate the experience.

I remember watching 'Chico' at Wakey in the opener a couple of years ago, after he had made a name for himself on xfactor. Unfortunately it didn't appear to increase your home attendances by that much, although it was mildy amusing watching him yell 'i can't hear' whilst his backing track bellowed out of crackly speakers in the pouring rain.

Given that or the choice of local kids doing High School Musical, a welsh male voice choir or some of the other stuff I've seen at odsal this year I don't think this is too much of a problem at the moment. The Saints fan I brought to Odsal thought it was amazing we could wash our hands after going to the gents!

Good luck with it anyway, thought Diversity were brilliant on tv despite hating Simon Cowell and everything he stands for...

Ah.

You haven't been to a home match this year then. Sorry, I didn't know.

I've made dozens of suggestions on this, as has MBBB remember the MC Wiggy campaign

The club are too afraid to try something that will bring the punters in like Neromania day, players naked run for most missed tackles in a month etc etc

Stuart Duffy eventually stopped replying to my emails and the letter from his solicitor means I'm not able to talk to him over the phone about it.

So the club are clearly happy with the general deteriation of the pre-match entertainment.
