Why would Mick state as a fact something that isn't unless the person who told him is telling porkies and we know he can be a bit gullible at times, but until it's shown one way or t'other everyone will have to believe whatever they feel is true!

Mick isn't lying. Technically he's correct because the season tickets are still tickets after all, and they include admission to the York game on Sunday.

He included season ticket sales in his figure of 'over 4000 tickets sold for Sunday' because it's the higher figure and looks better.

The "over 4,000 tickets" figure includes the season ticket holders and tickets currently sold.

Not every season ticket holder will turn up on Sunday as the data shows that just above 82% turn up on a match day, so it's impossible to give an accurate figure.

That is why it's currently "over 4,000 tickets" and with a healthy walk up crowd, we could see over 5,000 at Odsal on Sunday.

Well see they are strengthening now Jack Ormondroyd is a good signing. Josh Jordan Roberts I thought did a reasonable job for us last year in difficult circumstances. Then whatever they can muster from KR on dual reg, least they can't get Moss this time!

We need to be fully focused and in the armwrestle for 80 mins. If we concentrate on ourselves though and keep the errors minimal we still should be able to control the game. Massive improvement needed from previous weeks though

At least we've been properly tested by Hunslet and Newcastle recently. I wouldn't want to be going into this game having just played Hemel and Coventry.

Great work by the club/Bulls Foundation giving lots of Primary Schools free tickets for the game.

I've never quite understood why they got out of that practice. It gets kids interested, who may want to come back. It gets adults coming because someone has to bring the child, and said adult will likely be paying to get in. Even if they weren't, they also may want to come back. Not to mention said adult and child may fancy something to eat or drink while in the ground (getting the sweetie van stocked up would be a good plan). As long as those people weren't coming anyway and you've just let them in when they would have paid, it's a no lose situation for the club.

First home game I've been to all season, been to a couple of away games, so there's at least 2 more than usual, as one of my sons is coming as well, hopefully other one can manipulate his work schedule to make it three!!!

Gregg McNally says it's great testament to both the #BradfordBulls and #YorkCityKnights that they have only three defeats between them going into the top of the table clash at Odsal Stadium on Sunday. https://t.co/xMwj7yMfpV
