Bradford Bulls have provided a detailed breakdown of their social media statistics over the last 12 months, as they look to improve further in the fight to reach Super League.
The top-12 ranked clubs by IMG and the RFL at the end of the 2024 campaign will play Super League rugby in 2025.
And with Bulls currently sat 14th after the indicative gradings were released in October, just 0.43 points behind 12th-placed Leigh as it stands, they know every improvement over the next few months counts.
Social media engagement of the fanbase is a key part of the ‘fandom’ pillar in the grading criteria.
And with ‘fandom’ making up 25 per cent of a club’s overall grade, how they perform on social media is vital to their future success.
Other pillars, like performance, are easy to judge for fans, but social media reach is not, so Bulls have taken the time to break down where they currently stand below.
The all-important numbers can be found below:
