    Would it be ideal? I would love to know where the majority of fans travel from. Getting over there from Shipley, Saltaire, Bingley etc would be a pain. Especially if you don't drive/want to have a few beers.

    15000 crowd
    20% spend £10 at 23 league games
    Total £690,000

    10,000 crowd
    20% spend £10 at 23 league games
    Total £460000

    Total difference -£230000
    Of course the numbers above are simply part of the story trying to show that pies and merch probably don’t bring in as much as we think.

    CEO? 10 years ago no worries but my working life is done and I don’t need the money (or the headache of Prima Donna footballers)

    Those will be the same people who weren’t going to renew at the end of last season and we were going to end up with 10k?

    whenever there is a discussion on pricing the same old excuses are wheeled out.

    At some point they need to bite the bullet. Why not now and get over the hump.

    Sheffield United would be more than happy with that loss of £10m to achieve Premiership status ;), but others took a massive hit.

    Shocking for a team of their size.

    The Championship is in some weird bubble.

    What about them?

    They're now in a better position with better owners than us and I will say that they're massive favourites for div 2 next season.

    And they will be in division 2 because of their owners and overspending and are lucky to be still in existence

    Yep for me..

    If Rhodes and Rupp understood football then we would of got rid of Bowyer earlier to give McCall a chance.

    Next season: Bolton, Tranmere, 4 place finishers in div 2, Grimsby, Salford, Mansfield, Scunny will all have a massive say.

    Rhodes gave up on this season and it's going to cost us big time because next season will be a lot tougher. Our season is now over!

    When you put business 1st ahead of football then in football you fail! Bradford City is a failing club.

    If we get rid of Rhodes we might stand a chance next season(he's done his job now)but for me next season will be like this but with better football.

    I just can't see the budget being as good as this season and Rupp isn't putting his hands in his pockets as yet.

    I hope I wrong but the club is deadbeat and that's the truth.

    I beg to differ. Certainly where I am concerned. I have been bringing this up, banging on that they need to be increased, for as long as I have been a member of these forums.

    Well we will have to differ then because we have twice been on the cusp of the championship when we enjoyed good budgets and great crowds. We are different from the crowd and good on us for it football certainly lower league is over priced. We have the catchment area and the stadium to do it and whilst we languish down the league we should stick with it and some gradual increases as we move up.

    The comment was originally facetious. I understand supply and demand market forces. I even remember Rahic and Rupp claiming £1 tickets if we got to the premiership, I guess we wouldn't struggle to fill the stadium at that price, who knows eh?

    Ive never known a club yet drop their prices when they didn't have to. A wonderful sweet notion, kinda something Corbyn would embrace.

    I suggested this many times on here mate.

    Noticed how we also have this thing of not paying compo for managers?

    The reality is looking at WHU last accounts (May 2019) revenue was £198,695,000, STs £23,659,000, that to me seems a pretty big "drop"

    The big difference is thought that Bournemouth are backed by an actual Multi-mliionaire whose putting his money in and not a convicted fraudster like Bolton whom was taking it out in large amounts. Fit & proper test is laughable

    I get that, but for every person who comes from the South there will be another with an easier journey.
