Bulls' season ticket sales look set to pass the £500,000 mark by tomorrow night.

The return to Odsal has led to a "phenomenal" response from fans keen to watch the world champions at the 'Wembley of the North'.

And the Bradford sales staff are expected a rush to beat tomorrow's 8pm Early Bird Deadline.

With big-name signing Shontayne Hape joining the Bulls in the off-season and many of last year's stars staying on, there is plenty to look forward to for fans.

"Next season is a very big one for us," said marketing manager Simon Collinson.

"Sales have been phenomenal. We knew there would be a lot of demand for the return to Odsal but it has far exceeded anything we could have expected.

"And we know there will be a big rush over the next couple of days to secure tickets before the deadline."

With another big signing on the cards, the Bulls are looking to return to the high attendances which were lacking at times during their temporary stay at Valley Parade.

"Tickets are the best value available in Super League," added Collinson.

"We are looking to be the best supported team next season and with our already award-winning game-day experience set to improve next year I think we will do that."

A return to Sunday kick-offs is expected to further entice fans already excited about the long-awaited return to Bradford's spiritual home.
