Optimistic supporters are getting behind the Bulls with season-ticket sales currently up by 1,000 on the same time last year.

The club expects plenty of further business with its seat renewal deadline looming on Friday.

Super League doesn't kick off for another two months but Bulls marketing manager Nathan Gould is already gauging real excitement from fans.

"There's a real buzz about the place," he admitted.

"People are coming in, buying their tickets and talking pretty confidently about our chances next year. The new signings have helped. The forward pack was pretty good anyway but that's been strengthened and there's new men in the backs as well.

"There's a quiet confidence around the club and things are looking good.

"We are up by about 1,000 on season-ticket sales at this time last year and that shows the belief of our fans."

Gould is pleased to see more families than ever are wanting to watch the Bulls.

"We're doing well on that side of things too," he added.

"We had a real push back on the community work last year and it's paying off now. There's a lot of new families signing up to come to Grattan Stadium next season and they have been introduced to the Bulls by that excellent work in the community."

Supporters with season tickets in the Tetley Stand have until 5pm on Friday to guarantee their existing seats.

Those wishing to try and relocate may do so from 9.30am on Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, the early-bird deadline for discount-priced season tickets is Monday, December 17.
