Season ticket sales down by a third to 12,000, and extending the offer... and their forum Claret & Banter is no more.

Some of the Sadford fans make out these are dark days for them like they're a big club playing beneath themselves. They've been in the bottom 2 divisions for about 80% of their history. These are good days for them. It's a shame C and B no longer exists. I used to take great enjoyment reading that along with Owls Talk and Leeds forums. Shame theirs no Bradford or Wednesday fans left on here anymore.

Although I'd like to see Larry do well. Always liked him.

Some of the younger ones are worse than Wednesday fans when it comes to attendances etc. The ground is testament to their fairly recent rise and fall and over ambition. One and a half stands premier league, one stand championship, one stand fourth division, non league changing rooms and Sunday League standard pitch. |

To be fair it's only since the fire that they have started to show up at a higher level. They did have a good team towards the end of the 80's when they were pushing to get into the top flight but they still couldn't beat us at their place in our worst season ever.

They were always shite, the Premier League and Championship seasons they had recently are massive outliers.

Their fans reactions on twitter after we stole Nahki off them is still the best thing they've done for years. Didn't think I'd ever laugh like that again. Then Leeds did that chestwanking badge a few months ago. Comedy, that's all those 2 bring to the table these days

To be fair doubt we’d have 12000 season ticket sales after so long in League 1, tedious managerial appointments and a total lack of interest from the owners in trying to do anything other than just wait for success to come rather than plan for it.
Feel sorry for them, felt a bit empty in recent years having to fake a rivalry with Barnsley....

I was talking to a Man U fan when we played them in the cup, he was from Halifax, he said he had a season tick at Bradford because it was so cheap and it gave him something to do when Man U didn’t play on Saturdays.
I wonder how many do this ?

I stopped taking a great deal of notice of them a few years ago, mainly because I stopped working with a couple of people who followed them. so had nobody left to wind up, but is that a genuine 12000? Didn't they used to do all kinds of weird offers for half a dozen games, then report every one of them as part of every match attendance? |

Coupled with the fact that season tickets cost about 58p there means they end up with decent figures. |

They should be a bigger club. Large city with only one professional club should be huge. I used to hate them. Now I just pity them.

They should be a bigger club. Large city with only one professional club should be huge. I used to hate them. Now I just pity them. To be fair, Bradford isn’t really much larger populated than Kirklees, and their support will suffer due to large parts of it being more likely to naturally gravitate to supporting lLeeds or Burnley as “local” teams, whereas our border extents are mostly football free. Plus, whilst there are some nice areas, there are FAR more heavily populated deprived areas within the Bradford region than there are in Kirklees. Reckon their realistic support is similar to ours, 12k watching League 1 football, up to 15k in Championship, 20k+ in Premier League and sub 10k if sustained in League 2 for more than a season or two. Don’t mind admitting that I’d rather be watching Town play Bradford than Bournemouth or Watford if everything else was equal, and kind of wanted them to be promoted whilst we were in the Championship....they do however seem to be gradually sliding further away with uninspiring ownership that’s seemingly running things in terms of team budget in a similar way to what Ken Davy did, which is fine if you can’t afford to put investment in, it’s not my money and my debt to carry, but football needs periods of speculation and hope, really they should sell as quickly as possible because should they drop a level or end up being a lower mid table League 1 Team rather than the upper mid table one they’ve become, it suddenly becomes very difficult to keep interest up and even more difficult to make funds to progress if they want to be self sufficient rather than rely on owner investment). As I said, feel a bit sorry for them, I know quite a few very reasonable Bradford fans (including a couple who came very close to being joint owners) who have always been very positive in their appreciation of the rise of Huddersfield Town which may skew my perception. |
