fans rather go to watch Bradford for Entertainment Value?

Rugby league is crap. Thats why people aren't going to watch it.

The south-stand reduced capacity,prices,wire's away support was a lot worse than recent times,playing celtic who's fans come on a skateboard,still to play saints which should be a good crowd.

Weather ?

I blame Jordan, Lawrie, Adam the stalker and Christian the corner flag thief.

Ever take anything seriously at all?

He's 24/7 "Funtime Frankie"

Yeah! Do you ever take anything seriously at all!

Its a very serious thread, the club is going under!

Whats funny about my post? I'm deadly serious.

How can you blame the "Ant hill mob"???

Definitely. I do too. I mean, who would want to be stood anywhere near them?

Isn't this a bit premature when there's still 2 home games left to play?

Ipso facto.

Who does he play for??????

Don't see what reduced capacity has to do with it. The gates aren't full houses.

Our pub quiz team.

Agree with G1, this looks like premature evaluation to me

with G1 its usually premature ejaculation though!

Well done on figuring that one out lad.

god forbid the fans are starting to see through hetheringtons false promises?

Like a back to back title winning team you mean?

For those that missed the clever subtlety of miscreants joke Cala Millor is on hand to spell it out for the thickos.....

Well when you consider for matchs against wigan,wire,bulls,cas(still to come i know) and saints the southstand is FULL then obviously the reduced capacity will have an effect on the averages!

I'm part of that 7.7% "Pursuing Other Interests"...

SO am I, so are a lot of people too, some of those attendance figures are the "bare bones" season ticket holder allocations - thats a dangerous place for a sporting club to be in when you're only attracting those who will come and watch anything week in week out.

And the annoying thing is that unlike seasons when the crowds were growing year on year, this year I haven't noticed any active marketing - they may be doing some but its not reaching the likes of me if they are.

Its a very simple and proven fact that you don't stop marketing when your market share is falling - you increase your marketing - unfortunately many businesses see marketing through a recession to be an un-necessary expense rather than a vital component for survival.

Fact is that a very large majority of the population, those without salaried "safe" jobs, are faced with a decision to make every week - do I have any spare money this week, and if so what do I spend it on ?

Those are hard decisions that are being conciously made these days rather than subconciously just wandering down to the ground without thinking about how much you are spending - any entertainment venue has to be attractive and more importantly cost effective, I'm afraid that Headingley doesn't rate a score on the second one of those two criteria when compared to the alternatives.
