Get the ground rocking against Peterborough.

Cup game doubt many will turn up but the Saturday home game on 15th we need to make the ground rocking then.

 

It would be nice to see the effort put into the protest be put into getting more fans in for this game. Im sure those with the organising talents could be a force for good in the FA Cup. Shame to see those skills go to waste in peace time.

 

I'm in total agreement. I wouldn't normally go to a cup match (long way for me) but will make an effort for this one.

If we make ourselves heard in a positive way hopefully Rupp will realise it IS worth investing in the January window.

 

Really looking forward to this one. Can't make the 15th unfortunately. Being new to the area I've only just started following Bradford so only been to handful of the Rahic era games. Really hoping for good things in January now. The atmosphere at the Oxford match was class. Can't wait to see what a post Rahic VP is like!

 

YouTube the Sunderland, Villa and Arsenal games when there's 20000+ in there. Will give you a little taster.

 

It would be good to have a decent crowd to show our support for the moves made by Rupp & Rhodes.

Even if the cup crowds return to the 5/6,000 level which is where they usually are rather than the 2,500 that turned up for Aldershot.

 

Someone posted a video montage of the Cup run in anothet thread ( sorry I can't remember which one)... find it and watch it, it'll give you a good insight.

 

This year's attendance was 2,248. Whilst down on the 2015/16 replay of 2,930, no way near the 5/6000 you quoted. Around about 25% down , similar to the fall in season tickets in same period.....

 

Whilst its possibly simplistic way of looking at it, both of those replays had mitigating circumstances i.e. on television, awful weather for both ties and general apathy. I've just always seen 5,000 as our par for the early rounds - we achieved similar numbers for the Chesterfield & Plymouth ties last season as an example. So with the good news, no reason why we can't get towards those figures next week.

 

All the club can do is price it up at a tenner for adults and then it is over to the fans to do the rest. The general view on pricing for the cup matches seems to be that fans are happy to throwaway at tenner but anything more than that and it turns people off.

The weather must have had an impact on the Aldershot crowd as well, it was horrible that evening.

 

Perhaps the club should consider doing a deal for Peterborough game to try swell the crowd. Something along the lines of a tenner in, but then keep your ticket and you can have a fiver off in the club shop if you spend X amount before Christmas etc.

Lots of fans are looking to buy City related merch before Xmas in the coming weeks and if we could tie that in with getting a bigger crowd for one of the home games (it needn't necessarily be Peterborough) and cash in twice, then great.

 

Then youtube the last 9 minutes of the Leeds game.

 

Billy Knott will never go hungry in Bradford. What a strike.
