| Surely Bradford are hoping to make money off their increased crowds by selling them food and drink on the ground.
This is an avenue that is not open to us.

Quote LovesToSpooge="LovesToSpooge"The Bull's are to provide a free season ticket to any players aged 16 or under who are registered with an amateur club in the Bradford and Keighley area.

I suggested a similar idea on this board around 18 months ago, even contacting Mick Hogan for his thought's.
We have an ageing support and although we've just broken the 10,000 barrier, a scheme like this would greatly benefit us in the longterm.'"
If you're a young lad living in Bradford and you're into rugby league, wouldn't you already probably be going to loads of Bradford games? I think it's more likely they are giving season tickets to kids who would otherwise have had them bought for them, thus losing revenue. Don't get me wrong I'd be over the moon if I was getting a free season ticket and it's good to see Bradford reaching out to youngsters but I'm not sure it's that clever economically speaking. I like the scheme we run with the scrum vouchers (bring 5 mates to any home game against Saints for £6 each), far more likely to bring in fans who wouldn't have come otherwise IMO.

| Quote shooter69="shooter69"good idea but have nt they just sold over 10,000 season tickets at £50 pound too and now free kids ,brilliant for the fans but from a business point of view how much loss are they going to have ,
We ve just sold over 10,000 full paying season tickets and arnt kids only £27 pound so i think were doing a super job ,
But take nothing away from Bradford'"
not all season tickets was sold at 50 pound that was the cheapest ranging upto 100 pound but again great idea from bradford

| Wigan don't need to do anything like this as proven by the recent sales figures.
The next key challenge for the chairman has to be to make the club profitable. With this in mind, why give away tickets for free when sales are miles ahead of previous years anyway?

Fully agree. The club must look for ways to increase attendances, this has already started with hopefully 11k+ season tickets sold by the time the season kicks off. Obviously winning rugby and trophies will go a long way to that, but NOW is the time for the club to continue bringing the sport to a younger audience within the borough.

I thought challenge 10,000 was if they could get 10.000 to sign up for season tickets they would get them at £50

| £60...but i know a few who didnt get it in time and had to pay the top price..with the kids season ticket if you already ahve one then they are giving you the money back..we have a family ticket..didnt last year just went to a few games on own.
But this year wife etc are going withj me..we all have new tops which we wouldnt have bought so that was extra 160 quid on top of 160 quid for seaon ticket so 320 they wouldnt have had..plus beer at 2.50 a pint, sweets, coke burgers schips for kids and it adds up.
Theres a ferw kids at our junior club who havent got season tickets..they are made up as getting one for nowt..of course means parents will have to go as they are only 12 so again money club wouldnt have ordinarily got..so win win for bulls and kids..not parents tho who wouldnt have gone..but we are 40 quid up as getting his money back.

I have a sneaking suspicion the Latics may have had something similar to a BOGOF going on for today's 18k crowd against Fulham.
