We could have sold more tickets to Bradford City fans. This is more likely to happen in League 1 and above though.
How many clubs in league 2 have a following like Bradford ? It may make the ground look prettier, but would be a waste whilever we are league 2.
It wouldn't be a waste. It is high time we sorted out Bishop st - even if we remain a league 2 club. The standing terrace is the cheap option which will improve the stadium, improve the match day experience and bring in some extra revenue.
League 1 is hardly the promised land. There is no reason why we couldn't have a small standing terrace in League 2.
You say that but Bradford are the only team that would bring enough away fans to fill a potential bish in League 2.
In league one there's Sunderland, Sheff Wed, Wigan, Portsmouth, Rotherham, Bolton, Lincoln, Ipswich and Donny.
It'd be nice to have it ready to go into league one though!
