"We don't condone the prices we charge and we've previously stated exactly that on this very messageboard but what we don't like is other fans from different clubs complaining about our ticket policy just because we have a cheap ST scheme that others seem to think they're paying for. Like i've said in the past, it's not just us that charge stupid prices for this level of football but yet we seem to get shot down every single time - what would you prefer?....£20 at Dale to watch your beloved Morecambe infront of a crowd 2,500 with very average facilities or £20 at Bratfud infront of 13,000 in one of the best away ends in the league? - It's a no-brainer if you ask me but im sure you'll find something to complain about in your replys.
Good luck for the rest of the season apart from when we take over Morecambe on Good Friday"!

This might surprise you and it sticks in the throat a bit to say it but BCFC is the one club in Div 2 charging 'rip off prices' which I can't really argue with. It is a Premiership Standard Stadium and is a great ground to visit. Your overheads must be fairly steep as well for running such a facility, so hey ho, I'll visit with the whole clan as long as your in Div 2 with us. A few more seasons there then hopefully!
PS. It is shaping up to be a cracking day on Good Friday with you lot no doubt still there or thereabouts at the top. It hasn't been mentioned yet but a few seasons ago for Carlisles visit in the Conference we put temporary terracing at the back of the away stand to double the capacity to approx 2,000. I think it actually cost us money to do it because the admission money didn't cover the cost of installation and extra policing/stewarding but it might be one idea to allow more Bradford fans to see the game. Your Directors might have to contribute to the cost though as we aren't exactly flush at the moment.
Now this is interesting!
Wouldn't it be much easier and cheaper for both clubs if you just gave us your North Stand because like you say, if we are still up their come this fixture then we'll no-doubt be taking an healthy following and the 1,500 wasn't quite enough last season and that was on a Friday night. Anyway, at least then you'll be garunteed no away supporters in with the locals not to mention the extra revenue that comes with it. - It's something your board need to think over but I doubt it'll ever happen due to one or two locals uping sticks about giving up their one and only North Stand.....Mind you if it does happen don't do a Hull and charge at what was then 8,000+ City fans in their home end, it'll get messy!
