signings a plenty – for others

Yes if it was true

Gilliead signs for Bradford, thought he was aiming for an higher league?

He will be after next season, no surprise if they go up next term.

I’m struggling to explain what is going on.
Hope this hypothesis is not too bizarre.

Let’s consider psychological manipulation as a possibility. We are all placed into a state of deep concern by the lack of activity.
Things finally happen and some players come in.
We are all so relieved, we barely notice that they are hardly a single notch above adequate.

Adequate would be an improvement on several already here though.

Just totted up signings by Division Four sorry, I meant League Two teams in preparation for the season.
It amounts to exactly 101.
Good to know that we have got the 1. Innit?
I truly hope that our one signing is not a pup – if you can spot where I’m going with this.
It really looks like we are searching for leftovers again. BTW – Millen is wanted by Northampton so – he’ll probably not becoming here unless he is won over by the extra 4 hours on the round trip back up to Scotland.

OWS at it early today, ” we’ve signed another player, that’s two now!!! please buy a season ticket, please please pretty please “.😂

I noticed Bradford sold 1,000 season tickets in 48 hours. I know they’re a big club for this division but I’d love to know how many we’ve sold in that time – or even overall!

Are Bradford still doing their £100 season ticket from a few seasons back? If so maybe that’s a factor but signing quite a few half decent proven league two players up is probably the main reason.

Don’t think so. My mate had one (even though he lives in N/land) but stopped when they ended the deal.

From a Cox interview on the OWS:-

“I seem to have been travelling all around the country speaking to players and agents and we’ve got two over the line now.”

Some might be tempted to ask if the chief scout could have narrowed things down a bit, but it seems the manager might be unfamiliar with modern technology as a possible alternative to travel.

Probably means Cass that Coxy was on holiday down Devon and happened to bump into these two lads also with their feet up and begged them to sign because nobody else wanted too. 😂

Even if they were, that’s £100,000 for the 1,000 season tickets they’ve sold so far. We’d have to probably sell something like 300-350 in that time to make the same amount, reckon we have?

If Bradford have sold 10,000 season tickets as they claim, even at £100/ticket that’s £1 million right there.

Bradford have increased season ticket prices by 33% for 20/21 season, rather leading fan survey, led to it asking how much fans think would be fair, most chose the £150 to £199 bracket and heho season tickets priced at £198, probably not not most fans wanted and probably expected the club to play fair, ” suckers”. Ok so adult tickets are dearer at scunny but most others are way more expensiv at Bradford, they say they have gone the modern way and altered age ranges, our under 18s £60 their under 16s £124, children up to 12 £30 while we provide 2tickets free for under 12s. All in all a very clever exercise and they do point out it is what the fans wanted “really”. At least our club survey only stitched us up on the shirt vote. So let us all be very careful when doing these club surveys. Perhaps NI could ask his mate for a more informed update on their survey.

Will do if I see him this weekend.

All I’ve had so far is a gif with the theme from the Addams Family!
