http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/article/9544/bradford-bulls--home-shirt-launch-new new home shirt looks good; I also like the blurb and reasoning behind it; “The fresh strip is based on the design of the 1994-95 jersey...The new jersey represents the heritage of Bradford Northern, for which the modern Bulls evolved from,” said chief executive Hunter-Paul. Together, we recognise the importance of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Bulls and so much more. We all agreed on this famous design as we attempt to roll back the years, screaming to the world that we are red, amber and black – and proud of it!” Ill be sticking one of them on my Christmas list

Nice to see the colours the right way around!

Great evening. Well organised. Plenty of laughs. Plenty of sobering stats about expenditure & where the income needs to come from.

Marc didn't expand on how he's going to make Odsal more profitable but with his graphic of 67.5 hours rugby played there per year and 8400 hours availability, there's lots of time to be filled. Just need to fill it. I assume there are plans being made for that to happen.

1000 cars per home game park at Richard Dunne - thats about £40k per season into council purse rather than ours. He didn't say how he will expand parking at Odsal to accomodate those 1000cars, but he must be planning it.

Came out of there more enthused than I have been for several years.

Can anyone tell me how you turn a lottery pulling in £13000 a week into a lottery pulling in under £600 a month? Not only that, but how you can do it so fast the the guy who set it up initially when he retired from his day job is both alive and looks the bloody same when he comes back to set up the replacement?

It will be a bit harder this time though. We're no longer the Super Bulls, pin up boys of SL, so I guess sales will have to be a bit more local. Also IIRC, at the time sales were at their peak didn't we have a number of other clubs involved in our lottery? I'm pretty sure Keighley were one, along with Dewsbury et al.

One of the factors was increasing the price from £1 per week, to £2 per week. That was a huge mistake.

Yeah, I wondered about that. Though perfectly true, it seemed a bit of a strange thing to say since there is no, sufficiently large, 'club' alternative to using the Dunn's carpark. Even if there were, access and in particular egress after the game, would be a big problem given the current single stadium access road from /into Cleckheaton Rd.

Agree, I'm sure it was.

I suppose it was done on the back of the national lottery putting the price up to £2, but it clearly didn't work.

£2.8m break even

£790k rfl
60000 speccies at say average £13 plus vat = £780k (£230 Season Ticket = £12.27 plus vat per game)
Leaving around £1.2m from other sources - Good luck to your commercial team
