Bradford offer £99 season tickets 
 
Bradford City are offering supporters the chance to watch their team next season for less than £100.
Season tickets in the Bradford End have been priced at £99 and £138 in the rest of the ground - if bought in December.
Joint-chairman Mark Lawn told BBC Radio Leeds: "Stuart McCall and the players say that the support we get does give them a big lift.
"We thought about what we can do to help the fans because there is a credit crunch," he added.
"It's a genuine opportunity for people to buy something for partners, spouses, children at Christmas.
"We appreciate that Bradford is not the most affluent of places and if we can do something, and if we can do it at Christmas, then I think we should."

Don't be so naive.

Have you any idea how ironic and patronising Braford's statement actually is?

Rather cynical view that Ballers?

A club trying to drum up a bit of local support.  Well done them.  Far more of that & a lot less of Brand Chelsea / Arsenal / Liverpool / man utd.

I'm not buying one though...

Cynical?

Study Bradford's recent history. Had it not been for Julian Rhodes deciding to honour commitments he didn't have to there'd be 12,000 Bradford fans out of pocket with 20 year season ticket, unsecured creditoras they were.

I'm sure most Bradford fans are taking it all with the proverbial pinch of salt.
