    Hi Bradford fans, hope you are doing as well as can be expected in these strange times. I run pub quizzes as a little side business and I've just started doing them virtually via Zoom. Gone well so far but I'd like to do a few more practice runs, so I wondered if there would be any desire amongst your fan base for a Bradford City/general football quiz? Would be useful practice for me and might serve as a worthwhile time filler on a Saturday afternoon for you, sans football. If so I'd be happy to run something. You'd be playing for nothing other than bragging rights, but it would, I'm sure, be a jolly good laugh. Any takers?

    Are you a City fan? From Bradford?

    I'm guessing there won't be many quiz 'teams'?

    Hmm, be interesting to see a non-Bradford based non-City fan set a quiz for City fans who could be isolated, but could live in a City-supporting household...

    How do you get the difficulty level right?

    Might be better getting teams together from teams of each division, and doing a big quiz.

    I dunno, whatever.

    @CC Sphere@CC Sphere I might be in, depends.

    Swindon is correct.

    I don't envisage that getting the difficulty right will be any more of a challenge than it was when I wrote the one for Swindon fans. I guess you'd just have to trust me on that one, suffice to say I've written a lot of quizzes on subjects that I'm far from on an expert on and not struggled to judge the difficulty or pose interesting questions. There's a method.

    How are you getting an income from it as you described it as a little side business?

    I believe people who run pub quizzes make an income from a combination of
    • Payment from the venue
    • A cut of the beverage sales during the quiz
    • Charge an entry fee (some which will often be used as a prize but the operator keeping the rest)
    • Sponsorship
    Doing via Zoom the first two are unlikely to be viable but the last two might be valid income streams

    I'm not making an income in these Corona ridden times. The quiz I proposed on here and have run for others has just been for fun. Ran a Villa quiz on Saturday. Was cracking

    I charge a fee to host quizzes, also sell the ones I have made to other pubs. None of the money I take from the teams goes to me at the ones I host, it's all given back as prizes. That's during normal times, I should clarify. Not looking to make any money from these Zoom quizzes
