Bradford City... awful run, but great support.
Finally ended their 10 game run without a win yesterday. Amazingly, with the team 9th in League 1, they still managed to pull in 19,654 fans for a game against Gillingham. That's almost exactly the same crowd that Cardiff City attracted for their last Saturday 3pm game against Birmingham whilst on a nine game run without a defeat.
Looking at it a little more, Bradford's lowest crowd this season was 18,799 against Fleetwood.
That is higher than Cardiff's games against:-
Sheffield United
QPR
Millwall
Ipswich (15,951)
Brentford
Norwich City
Hull City
Preston North End
Sunderland
Bolton Wanderers
Middlesbrough
Barnsley (just 19 days ago)
Actually, it would have been quicker to type in the games where Cardiff's crowds bettered Bradford's lowest.
Seven attendances of 20,000 or higher... compared to Cardiff's 4.
Zero attendances of 17,000 or lower. Compared to Cardiff's 4.

I read this post and decided to kill myself. Finding out that Bradford have had higher attendances than Cardiff is by far the worst thing that has happened in my life.

Impressive, but is there even anything else to do in Bradford? It's an absolute toilet.

Population 200,000 more than Cardiff.

Bradford have 18500 ST holders. Adult prices £149.00. Brilliant deals for their fans. Think theyve been doing this promotion for a couple of seasons.

:hehe: It's about £6 a ticket in a massive city with **** all else going on, but good on them none the less.

Didn’t realise it was as you AA, thought you only posted on your own board.

Population of over 500,000 and tickets cost about £5, of course they get good crowds

It has a pop of over 575000? I don’t think so.
Heard they give away lots of ST though, or very cheap, they have a lot of STH.

I would be cautious about using unitary authority or urban area as a measure. If you use either Bradford is larger than Manchester and Liverpool, when it clearly is not.

Re: Bradford City... awful run, but great support.
Bradford’s season ticket philosophy makes sense. Yes they are cheap but by selling so many of them they are getting more supporters into the ground with increased revenue on food, drink etc. If the season tickets were twice the price they would probably sell only half the number they have sold. So in reality they are probably getting revenue in overall with the bonus of more support for the team.

Got some attributes
Birthplace of the Bronte sisters, JB Priestly ,Dynamo and One Direction’s Zayn Malik.
Invented school dinners .
Curry Capital of the UK three years in a row.
Football's greatest underdogs apparently.
As JB Priestley wrote : ‘"" However poor you are in Bradford, you need never be walled in, bricked up, as folk must be in London. Those great bare heights, with a purity of sky above and behind them, are always there, waiting for you.""

It makes perfect sense and should be adopted by more clubs to be honest

Every source I can find says roughly 530,000 . No mention of this including other towns in the area, maybe because it's considered a borough or something...
Gotta love this board, now we're scrapping over the exact population of Bradford to within the nearest 1000. I didn't think it was more than 200,000 until I read this thread. I always thought it was 199,000.
Bet them Yorkshire folk are loovin' this!
