    Isn't it amazing what sensible, long-term, creative ticket-pricing can do......

    Yes it has left a side who were in the premier league rooted in the bottom division far too long

    I get they're in the 4th tier, but is 18,000 really that great a number for a city with a population of half a million?

    To keep that many fans when they've spent so long in the lower divisions? It's astounding.

    For a league 2 club, yes, absolutely. Chuck in appointing Hughes as well and it makes the 'ambition' of the ***** who own us look beyond ridiculous.

    Every time I see their crowds it baffles me how they’re in league 2. I can understand making a financial balls up & maybe a season or two down there while they recover but they’ve been in the bottoms two leagues for ages. Should he league one at a minimum with them crowds unless they’re really badly ran

    We rarely dip below 11,000 even in the third tier and our population is a 5th of that of Bradford. It's admirable, I'm not doubting that. I don't think it's indicative of a well run football club though.

    Think Bradford will finally go up next year. Finished strongly under Hughes.
    Might pass us way things are going.

    No, I have no thoughts on how well run they are beyond the fact that they are still getting 18,000 in the ground. And bear in mind Bradford have never, in the past, been well supported. They've got something right.

    You’ll probably know plenty of Bradford fans as well, but up until the appointment of Mark Hughes I think fun is the last thing they were having.

    Very similar feeling to what we’ve got going on at our club. Shows that it only takes that one positive announcement or change to turn the tanker and point it in the right direction.

    Apparently a quarter...

    There crowds are so white for a multi cultural city. The club probably don't do enough to entice them to games, just like our own club with our own Polish population.

    Just over a quarter of the city are Asian with just under 1 in 3 being 'non white'

    Aye but ... we had crowds of 12/13/14 thousand, but as we all saw only about 3000 turned up.
    Were there 18000 in the crowd at Bradford? Only saying like.
    There was Bradford, Huddersfield, Norwich and probably others who set minimum s/t pricing and reaped the benefit of full houses every time. On here we talked about it and concluded that it was counter productive, financially. We'd rather see higher pricing and empty grounds.

    They've been getting huge season ticket sales for years though Loko, it's not just happened since Hughes took over.

    It’ll take more than one positive announcement to turn our tanker around….unless it’s the one we all crave, a change of ownership.

    They'll lose out big time to Leeds though. Got a soft spot for Bradford personally when it comes to football clubs.
