Any idea on Attendance?

They've gone quiet on that front.
There were about 300 seats sold in the south stand by Saturday night and I'd say 900 across the rest.
Allowing for walk ups etc, 1500 would be my guess but the club are reticent to post either figures or pictures. It's the same with the now discounted gold and platinum options.....they market these as popular but I've only ever seen one matchday sponsor getting presented with their shirt outside.....
I've seen no video of the coach being interviewed in the lounge, or player of the day presentations......now we just a dejected Coleman interviewed in a quiet corridor somewhere.
Has anyone here sampled the delights of broncos corp hospo this year? I've not seen 1 picture across all social media from all our named sponsors of anyone enjoying their day at the game?
This begs the bigger question of how much rent are our landlords getting? Is the gate receipts from 1,500 going to cut the mustard when they look at the financials? Is Hughes content to sit in an empty corp hospo lounge whilst his side are being spanked by Whitehaven?
A few weeks now until the must win home game ......if ever there was a time to throw the dice and market the hell out of a game then this is it.
The ticket site is showing 250 seats already allocated for Dewsbury which is outstanding even if half are in the community sections .....the club really should be trying to fill all 3,000 seats with every man woman and child who've attended a broncos game in the last decade. This is a season defining match.....
...email every fan, get everyone to come in old Fulham, crusaders, broncos or quins shirts.....face-painting, kids zone
Book a band, open up post match presentations to all.....the club need to repair burnt bridges and Dewsbury represents a perfect opportunity to do so.....
.....but hey ho. I'll watch from afar as the club stagger between home ties and the crowds diminish as the season unfolds......I can see us needing 2 wins in our last 3 games to be safe......haven away, Leigh and then Barrow at home.....exciting times, just not in the manner Mr's Hughes, Loubser & Milner planned back when they moved us south.

Bulls TV didn't do you any favours on attendance by filming from the main stand but, if anyone missed it, they do provide the full match here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLVUMBCJyLc Just watched it. Poor game but you can count yourselves unlucky.

Alas inflation has meant my old Fulham and Crusaders shirts no longer fit. If only the club had a retro/heritage range ... That might be too complicated a task seeing as the main page of the website is showing the Sheffield away game as taking place at 7pm on Good Friday, wake up Broncos it has been moved to Saturday 16th at 3pm in Doncaster !

The ticketing site showed 300 tickets sold in the south stand.....not a chance there were 300 Bradford fans there.....the club need to do more than beg on twitter. As for the game. It wasn't brilliant but Bradford can count themselves very lucky to come away with the spoils.....

EDIT: So the attendance at the Bradford Game was between 750-900 maximum according to many who were there.......a glance at the match video shows there were maybe 120 in the south stand, fewer than half the ticketing site was showing as sold pre-match.

The move has failed and I fear that once Hughes admits he was wrong, we will be lucky to see out the season.

I'll start looking for my black armband now then.

I guess the website may show freebies given out who didn't come along.

Re a retro shirt range, APX announced one ages ago. I'm sure they said they would release new shirts monthly or so. Last time I checked it was still just the two shirts from the initial launch so I'm guessing sales figures weren't great.

They were only tee shirts though. Meant to get the XXXX one but never got around to it. Certainly will never buy the poor man's Wire shirt.

Don't think there was a Video Ref!

No there wasn't I just meant if it had been looked at more closely (as opposed to one view in real time by the ref), then London would have got thre try and won the game.
