1 h 12 min (51.3 mi) via M62 Bradford to Wigan


Be interesting to see how many tickets they sell in div 1 (old div3), they are not even rivals?

I reckon Bradford could sell the lot.

Allthough it's not a massive distance That's still impressive. It would be good to know what exactly they are doing at there club to encourage fans, and how we could replicate that as they seem to get good home crowds as well.

Their owner is a local fan and they work close with the local Bradford fans.

They have for five years charged under 16's, £50 a season ticket in the lower divisions, but then so do we.

They average over 20,000 home fans in div1 and they did in in div2.

They work very very closely with their fan base.

We have sold the 2 batches of tickets sent to us thus 3k so far.
Bearing in mind we took 4300 to bolton last season we will certainly be taking something similar,another good away following as per usual.

Charge £150 for ST and £50 for kids works wonders so cannot fault them if it works for them. :thumbup:

I agree and we have been £50 for kids as well and many many offers on :thumbright:

It was £150 for the first month of sales in certain areas and then £199, yes great value in div one(lower league)

And so are we great value Allan in the Championship, one of the cheapest and look at the bargains now £29 for kids etc so let's hope we can now reach 18,500 season ticket sales like Bradford :thumbright:
Your virtually saying we will at those type of prices and personally I agree we should :thumbright: :bluebird:

Bradford have kept an average of 18,500 season tickets for nearly 5 yrs now and three of them were in Div 2(div 4), but instead of praising them, you would rather be sarcastic.

We have half season ticket sales now on sale for Championship football going up to Premier :thumbright:


The point originally was about their Away fans going away and they had to be members and season ticket holders to get them, but as usual, subject changed :lol:
