    I think this website with its membership, provides evidence that there are a lot of people who are fans/supporters who are outside of the area. I have said this before, the group of six I sit with, then none of us live in Bradford MBC, only two of us were born in the Bradford MBC area. I think you have banged on about Park Bantam living in Plymouth (actually Withernsea). So the evidence is that there are lots of us, who are from ‘outside the area‘.

    I was meaning non Bradford fans outside the area. Just football fans who can afford the affordable price. However, we won't because we're not positive enough as a club.

    I don't live in Bradford but I still go to games and would if I was paying £300 a year but that's me. Bradford City will alway attact the hardcore 7-8k no matter the price and where they live.

    Vue cinema is 4.99 a ticket because the high prices aren't sustainable.

    Without a doubt a lot travel in to the City we have the Airevalley contingent people from surrounding villages and guit a few from outside. I am quit happy with the ST prices remaining the same for next season and Rockets family will be renewing. Whatever happens this season most people I know will be renewing. We just need the club to sort themselves out working on sponsorship but not forgetting the loyal fans at the end of the day

    Trouble is I don’t think there is a premium area in the stadium in the main stand the seats are so close you have to be a contortionist to fit in and the other side offers very little

    Fair comments pal. I guess there's only so much the Bingley Bantams can do with a limited budget. Maybe better off long term as a fan zone type area with the club being so limited with outdoor space.

    Ive got used to being close to the action but when the cup games were on ended up in the main stand top tier. Gives a completely different view to the game.

    Ehan and I went to the reply for the home game against Millwall the other year and were sat on the second row in I'd forgotten the sound of a crunching tackle you are certainly more involved the nearer you are.

    I think years ago a seat was always an option for the better off when standing areas such as the kop were an option. A seat was usually limited and as such came at a premium. Standing also gave option to like minded fans to congregate together. I guess at Valley Parade now if you made the middle bits more expensive they'd be empty such is mindset of our cheap ticket fan base.

    Bought tickets for the Salford match. They are £10 (£5 for concessions) irrespective of where you sit.

    The comment was based on the fact that in my experience, most clubs we play, have a universal price for tickets, and in particular that Salford City have cheap tickets, yet are able to fund a competitive squad at this level.

    I think we have a budget this year to have a competitive Squad and we have had most years since affordable football was introduced

    Some good questions but how would increased prices increase our playing budget at this level

    What about £250 or £300.

    note I am happy to renew my ST at those levels and (if they got rid of McCall) possibly up to £350.

    (McCall bit is a wind up guys)
