bradford haven't even got a squad yet and some on the bradford forum don't think they'll start the season. its a real can of worms concerning who actually owns it.

If by “complain” you mean “voice their opinions” then yes, count me in. Do you think that £15 per adult and £10 for a child is value for money?

The club certainly don’t have any Xmas spirit in those prices I do think £10 & £5 would have been appropriate for this game COYF

The pricing structure is steep @ £15 and £10 especially when team will be made up of chiefly under 19s etc.
When you look at the Leeds Rhino's v Wakefield game where juniors are priced at only £5.
GB v Australia junior tickets are only £10 for a test match where the best players in the world will be playing!
I hope, even at this late stage the club reconsider or at least introduce a discount for season ticket holders.

As much as I’d like to go and support the young lads that play £50 for a family of 4 is just too much at a time of the year when money is tight for a meaningless friendly.
I doubt the club will change the pricing for this game but they need to have a long hard think in the future.

i shall be going but who ever thought of charging this amount of money to watch our under 18S ought to give their head a shake in the normal season £3 --£1 50 was the price to watch our 19S last year

Always thought the Boxing Day fixture was a waste of time once we moved into the summer era.

It would be a nice gesture to change the junior price to £5 given the time of year and in the long run with more family's likely to go really won't cost the club much

He’s a good lad Robbie, he really needs to be playing at a decent level this year championship minimum along with Turner,Carr and summers otherwise they will stagnate. I hope York are willing to give them that exposure.

Aren't friendlies split gate? Prices are high but I wonder if that is why.

3000 fans, max of £45k if all adults. Less if you factor in juniors and concessions.

Once costs have been taken into account, you are probably only looking at £15k per team.

Club has to make revenue/profit from every game it can.

But they make no profit by pricing people out of going

If it's cas second team against a bulls side that I don't even know have got 17 players registerd at this moment in time it will be a poor show charging them prices IMO
