    They are certainly much higher than we were anticipating. After the season we've had we're humbled by the faith and loyalty that the fans have shown to the club.

    Another record day today. It will be manic tomorrow. We're expecting another record day.

    Hi Johnny,

    If you have an annual policy of repeat extensions you get a one-off marginal gain but at the cost of the long-term loss of trust/belief. After the first year, the policy quickly becomes counterproductive. We've seen that already with last years extension.

    It's also unfair on those who have signed up on the basis of the deadline.

    We’ve got great support and a great club. All we need is a great team.

    We’re doing our bit, let’s hope Stefan does his.

    Yes, but extending it by a couple of weeks every ruddy season? If fans are serious about supporting this club they’d buy tickets. If not, then 2 more weeks isn’t going to make a difference.

    As Fordy rightly pointed out, folks know when the tickets are on sale. It’s not a surprise, so why should they then ask for an extension??

    I don't care.

    The date is set! Clearly the date was set for a reason.

    Some of you are taking the p*ss out of the club and are mighty ungrateful.

    We live in a world in which everything seems to be going up in price. Bradford City has reduced, let me repeat REDUCED the cost of tickets and you want an extension.

    Diffferent payment options are Available.

    What do you want from this club?

    I would increased season ticket prices myself but I am an ar&ehole and I don't care but this is why because you find people just want more and more!

    The question is bronco why should they have to? The deal is a cracking deal is it not regardless of what level we are at? The club shouldnt have to jump through hoops for the fans, they have put.a fantastic offer on the table yet again, but folk are still whinging.
    Its been 10 years of this now, the club can do no right in the eyes of some, who think its their right to get what they want. Its been said many a time that the cheap deal is holding the club back in a way and im starting to agree

    What I find strange is why people leave it until the last minute to renew, putting strain on the ticket office staff and also causing themselves frustration of queuing or busy telephones.

    There is enough options and time to buy a season ticket at £150. Same script every year and same crappy argument.
    If the club extend they should raise them to £200 so there still Well priced but the people who commited in the first phase of sales benefit by the cheaper price A 50 percent increase is unlikely to get more people in .
    The club have to stick to the deadline for
    Once . Moving it every year is annoying when some people have made sacrifices to meet the deadline . Anyone who thinks there is thousands waiting for a extension to buy a season ticket after this deadline is on drugs

    I had to cut back on some things to make sure I had enough before the deadline.

    For all those who did the same or saved up, making sacrifices along the way, why should the club extend the deadline.

    Instead of “what can the club do for me, ask what can I do for the club”.

    Glenn, give the fans another window opportunity of another pay-day, extend it to Friday 3rd May
    As folk get their heads around watching league two crap (we've watched worse this season), they'll come back and buy.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 has a point, people know every year when season tickets will go on sale, its not exactly a surprise is it? City fans always want more, the deadline could be set for june 30th and some would want longer just to see who were signing in july.
    The deadline for cheap tickets was set over a month ago, it was clear and it was value. Cant say no fairer than that

    Neigh lad, who knows but if you can find former Bradford Council Member and Chair of the Co-Op Bank, Paul Flowers, known also as 'The Crystal Methodist', he might know. Google him.

    Doesn't matter if there coming down as kids they'll get the Bradford City bug just like we did and once you have it it's hard to give it up, or should I say in my case it is.

    Not one of my three want to go anymore, either because they’re sick of them losing or getting grief off their mates.
    Renewed all four season tickets, hopefully they’ll get the bug back next season!
