Don't think that's quite right...? Just over 22m IIRC?

That's about right. They'd just got over 20m when I went in 2003

It's been on the radio non stop.

The Pulse are giving away Bradford Bulls 2011 family season passes every hour during the drive time show.

The woman today who won them was quality

Just for the record I wasn't taking this thread off-topic.

I was stating a well known fact that while Bradford City struggle in the bottom four of League Two, there is scope that some of the disillusioned supporters will see our £60 offer as good value and take it up, if only to take away some of the pain from watching City.

A number of Bradford City supporters have already done this.

Yeah, and who better to exercise diplomacy in order to woo them to our cause, RAB's answer to Joachim von Ribbentrop.

Would have thought Ahmedinejacket was a better analogy for Mick's inter-club diplomacy activities...!

Then you need to run the story from the perspective of the initiative being likely to fail. You're quite correct that the BBC can't be seen to be helping you advertise; however, what at first seems to be a negative take can in fact be used as a way of appealing to a mass audience. Trust me, it can work.

Mick, yer heart is in the right place.....God knows where your head is!


So, let me get your pitch right, you want to lessen their pain from watching rubbish football at Valley Parade, by shipping them up to Odsal to watch rubbish Rugby League?

Not even Saatchi and Saatchi could sell that one!

Yeah but we only play Leeds there once a season, so it's not that much to put up with

Get out your fire hoses, cos THAT's a burn

Think about it though.

Hypothetically, if we did have 9,000 pledges and the club turned round and gave em for £60 anyway, that still doesn't mean only 9,000 are gonna buy season tickets. There's undoubtedly people out there that don't want to promise (pledge) to buy one right now, but still may buy one later on. Numerous reasons for doing that including dodgy finances or just wanting to see how it goes first (I don't understand it, but it was proved at City that people do that).

We could end up having 9,000 pledges and still get 10,000 adult season ticket holders.

Good call and yes very true.

Only speaking to a current season ticket on the phone yesterday, when I asked him if he had made the pledge, he said no and that he was waiting for the Marquee signing to arrive.

Maybe now that Leon is on the back page of today's T&A he'll be straight on the phone to make that pledge.

They seem pretty confident too..

Agree.

I can't wait for Monday now.

Who is going up on Monday?

Does anyone have details for Monday yet? I want to take the family and need to get organised with transport plans etc. and know what time the kids will be up to on a school night and all that good stuff! The club could do with announcing the plan

Sorry all found it

I was hoping to get there, but unfortunately I have to work late that night.

I'm think they may announce a new signing on the night too, or maybe two even.

someone already asked connor that on his twitter and he said no new signings on the night. nothing to say they wont announce one monday morning mind

I may go tonight, but it'll depend on the weather. Not feeling so great at the moment, so don't wanna be stood outside in the rain and cold. If weather's not too bad though, I'll probably pop up.

I'm planning on going. I'll try to post the total on here ASAP, but I hope everyone who can make it to Odsal does so.

i have just taken up my pledge but didnt realise under 8s went free in the stand and that older kids were only £45 also in the stand.so compared to last year i have saved a bundle just under £600 compared to £245.the lady i spoke to also said that it was very unlikely that anymore payment would be asked for due to not hitting the 10,000 target as it had been really busy and they were struggling to keep up with the counting.great news all round.COYB.

I doubt that any of the staff would reveal anything about the total number of pledges. I'm sure they've been told keep quiet.
