Bradford Bulls fans have made a stampede to Odsal for Grand Final tickets.

In just two days the club have sold 15,000 tickets and are halfway to chairman Chris Caisley's target of 30,000 Bradford supporters at Old Trafford on October 9.

And Super League headquarters report rapid business too with more than 1,000 telephone sales to Bulls followers.

There were huge queues at Odsal yesterday when the tickets went on open sale.

The club even had to draft in extra staff just to cope.

They have already filled 42 coaches for the big game and it looks as if Matthew Elliott's team will have massive support.

Club media manager Stuart Duffy said: "We haven't experienced anything like it before.

"The fans have been coming in hordes to get their tickets. To sell 15,000 tickets in just two days is incredible.

"This is great for everybody at the club. The demand has out-stripped even our two Challenge Cup finals in 1996 and 1997."

The tickets are priced £10, £15, £20 and £25. There are no concessions.
