Bradford City... awful run, but great support.

[Badly Ironed Shirt]

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.

Great attendances for sure, but you're right. It's an absolute dump. There's certainly no Elite League winning Ice Hockey team, cricket teams and no top flight rugby union or league teams to compete with.

That's not to say we shouldn't be getting higher attendances however. We absolutely should.

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.

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

This may be just the start there will be posts about some crap pub team in Spain soon

[City123]

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

[goats]

Population 200,000 more than Cardiff.

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.

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.

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