Club Suggestions Thread

Just about sums you up does that.

 

Is that the best you can do? Your comebacks are on a par with the rest of your posts, dull and pointless.

 

Glenn
Two points, the first being an observation
The BCFC lottery was done back around 1980, for a time it was successful and generated reasonable levels of revenue.
I had this in mind as a possible venture for today's Bradford City when I read your post.
Due to todays online communication, kiosks and selling points wouldn't really be required, therefore the logistics of getting tickets to various outlets wouldn't be an issue.
First priority, try to get the season ticket (and flexis) holders on board with an online weekly/monthly subscription for eligibility to the lottery draws.
Well done and good luck on the resurrection of this idea.

Second, and a minor point on merchandise
Certain times of the year the sun is low and does cause viewing issues to many of the supporters sat in the Midland road stand.
Maybe a cheap Alice band, with a claret or amber tinted transparent visor attached could be produced.
The selling of these could be determined upon weather conditions of the day, and be placed pre-match in a box at the side of programme/ half time ticket sellers etc...

 

You've missed your calling in life, Yenster.

 

Hahaha No I didn't, I found it in the local pubs of Eccelshill

 

If you really wanted them to have a better budget you'd have waited till Monday and paid the larger price.

 

A suggestion:

Since we renewed our season tickets, we must have received in excess of 12 - 15 emails from the club, suggesting that we have limited time to renew at the reduced price

Surely it would be beneficial to contact those who have NOT renewed

 

Since I renewed I haven’t had one. Maybe you are on the database twice somehow.

 

Me too, I am guessing it is the scattergun approach, or easier to do ‘send to all’

 

13,108

This will rise over summer.
You always get who will pay the higher price
25 year holders can renew at any time and there are quite a lot that have still to come through

Undoubtedly the season ticket sales have been an incredible achievement given where we are in the league and our current run of form. It shows the depth and loyalty of our incredible support.

 

There is an end of season game which is played at the ground during May where around 50 trialists who have been released by other clubs take part and our scouts will be in attendance obviously.

As Roger has mentioned, this is an annual event.

 

As I've posted previously I hope Stefan shares your sentiment @Glenn Ackroyd .

 

Surely @Glenn Ackroyd or @wetherbywhaler we should be organising a Stephan Darby charity match. There was talk of it, but not heard anything concrete. I'd love to see the class of 2013 pull on the claret and amber once more and take on a Liverpool 11, made up of reserves, ex players, trialists, and all proceeds obviously to the MND charity. Valley Parade would be packed to the hilt, I can assure you!

 

It's certainly a cracking amount admittedly, what's the % of flexi cards as I assume they are within that total despite not actually being proper season tickets ( a great idea nonetheless)

 

Hi Johnny,

We have a plan for a launch event that will target City fans over the summer. And it will be a digital payment method which will streamline the operation for efficiency. It's been tried and tested for 10 years at Burnley and we're copying and pasting their solution with additional enhancements.

Regarding the sun visors, I've forwarded your idea onto Dale Whiting who is the Club Shop retail manager.

Many thanks for the ideas.

 

The club is in regular contact with Stephen Darby. Discussions are taking place and it is for Stephen to decide what he would like to do and when. The club will support him in any way that we can.

 

Hi -

I've sent out 5 Emails (after the GDPR email)

1. - Nova Meets video
2. - Gary Bowyer signs a new contract
3. - Albert Stead 80 years watching City video
4. - Gary Bowyer phoning fans video (Friday)
5. - Why fans have bought season tickets video (Deadline day)

Also, a text was sent on Friday (the best day of sales) and Sunday (Deadline).

We excluded under 16's and anyone who has already purchased a ticket. The exclusion matching is by email. So if this season's ticket email doesn't match the one on our database, some people will get the emails who have already renewed.

376 people bought as a direct result of clicking the link in the email and buying. Others will have been influenced and bought indirectly via the club website/ticket office site.

Given that the season ticket campaign has now finished, you don't need to worry about getting any more

 

I think you have done a great job in difficult circumstances

 

Totally agree.
