BRADFORD City released their new season ticket campaign yesterday.
The "Our City" launch saw a reduction in season ticket prices, as well as the return of an old fan favourite.
A season ticket for adults now costs £150, with prices at £100 for under-16s and £25 for under-11s.
Flexi-cards have been reintroduced in their original format at £50 for the season.
That will allow fans to attend any game and pay on the gate for £10 adults, £5 under-16s or free for under-11s.
The flexi-card ticket will also be transferable, which means anyone can make use of it.
News of the cut-price offers for the 2019-20 season provoked a number of different reactions on social media from fans.
First, let's kick-off where it all started.
City released this teaser the day before the campaign launch.

Something which admittedly could have meant a number of prospects, as evidenced by the reaction.
There was one slightly impatient fan:
It's been coming soon for a week now. Just spit it out....

One seemed worried:
What’s this all about

And another feared the worst:
Edin making a comeback?

Then came February 6 when the official launch video was released and the news of cut-price season tickets filtered round the city.
Much of the reaction was positive, with a bit of jest thrown it for balance.
There were those who praised the decision:
A very brave decision and one that deserves to succeed. To all the waverers the club is effectively saying give us another chance.

Fair play to Rupp aswell, may have been Rhodes who suggested it but its Rupps investment. He could have easily said no I want to claw some of my money back. I like this Rupp fella

Wow ... that is some offer. That’s a little over £6-50 per game if you attend them all.

Wow...again.👏👏👏
Brilliant. Time for everyone to back the club, Rupp and Rhodes. Mistakes have been made, but they are being corrected. Keep up the good work #bcafc

Everything about this is #bcafc of old and we love it!

Those who liked the initiative but wanted a little more:
Retaining fans, encouraging disengaged fans back and building for the future....fantastic news now can we have our claret and amber stripes back and we’re good to go😉
— Lisa Carmichael (@LisaCarm) February 6, 2019
Brilliant from #bcafc. Of course, I am buying one for me, one for son and one for my Dad. Bring back claret and amber stripes and I will be really happy.

Why not make the season tickets £152 and donate the extra £2 to the Ladies team? Just a thought... @bcwfc @bcwfc_girls pic.twitter.com/w0n2daXxsO

One wanted a lot more:
Some used it as a chance to get rid of their gripes:
Glad its “Our City’. I know its a bit petty but the stadium announcer introducing “your City” on matchdays as they come out really grates... as if they are not a part of it...
— Susie Bantam (@susiebantam) February 7, 2019
And finally this one:
Great offer for League 2 football 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
