Bradford Get Reduced Allocation

Bradford have only been given the away allocation for the Cargill Stand for this weekend's match.

With the club previously announcing that they were giving away 575 tickets to local schools, the additional temporary stand was likely to be allocated for those tickets.

Despite having an allocation of just 675 the Bantams will not be selling advance tickets. They brought 254 in April for what was, to them, a meaningless end of season fixture, and 332 to an equally unappealing game the previous March. Even in their first trip to Edgar Street in nearly 20 years, in September 2007, a predicted 1,000 turned into only 512.

Bradford's home gates have steadily fallen over the past few years despite a string of discount season ticket offers as their prolonged stay in the basement division turned off fans previously used to higher graded fare, but they added the 2,000 lost supporters back to their gate on Saturday by offering admission for just £5.
