We've never been in a position in the last 5 years to implement monthly direct debits properly.

Our owners have always wanted ST money in before Xmas. But the club were keen to stress the monthly zero interest payment plan last night. They just haven't told us over how many months yet.

3 months was too short for many people. You need 6 months, or ideally, 10 months for the ST's I think.

10 months, £23 or £28 per month, running from October to July. That would be perfect. As Mr Green is running us debt free at the moment, spreading the income throughout preseason & the majority of the 2015 season would seem reasonable.

And hopefully some playoff income in August & September to cover those months.

@craigburn27 on Twitter has a table of all 2015 season ticket prices in superleague. We appear to be joint 2nd most expensive even though we'll be playing in a lower league. I don't think the price is pitched right. The squad is superleague quality but the opposition won't be.

I thought it was a cracking night last night, but they made a bit of botch of the season ticket announcement

Firstly, they handed out glossy leaflets that had no prices on. Why? People were scrambling to look at the TV screens to even see the prices. In the end Robbie had to start reading them out as people were getting up to leave. That came off as amateurish, frankly.

Then we have a lack of clarity about what games they actually cover. Does it cover ALL the home play off games - or not? I'm still not clear, as there seems to be mixed messages.

And nobody seems to know what the arrangements are for paying over a period of time. Is it 3 months, 6 months or different? Nobody seems to know

All of this should have been made crystal clear last night. But for some reason it wasn't! I'll be getting a season ticket myself, so this isn't sour grapes or anything - I just think it was the one part (the only part) that they didn't handle well last night.

Website says "your spot on the terrace guaranteed for 14 home games".

And then "free access" to the 15th home game if we finish top2.

There are 11 home games regular season next year. Then 4 more in the playoffs if you finish top 2.

I'm assuming the ST is for all the home games. 14 or 15 depending on placing. But it could be clearer.

Interest free monthly payments.

They didn't get that idea from Provident.

http://media.bradfordbulls.co.uk/_docs/ ... 20FAQs.pdf Explains the details a bit more. 6 months payment terms which is better than we've had (think I did 3 payments last time). Also shows the game day prices for comparison.

Cheers

Now why didn't they just give out copies of that last night instead of a leaflet with nothing useful on it?

Anyone paying by monthly installments pays an extra £20 document fee...?

If it costs more to do then they're passing that cost on. Another sign it's been run as a business.
I'll have to get my calculator out to see if it's cheaper to put on a credit card...damn Bull's, making me do maths
