Every year, the same clubs are in Div 1 of the age groups junior Yorkshire league. Siddal are always one. A magnificent junior club. I don't know what else you can do to maximise your take from Siddal

Nothing as pretty much all the players get picked up at SL level, we can only wait and see if some drop out due to travelling etc.

HX Sparky. Could the reason That team who played at Odslum get reserve funding is:
The EX (but still) Fat Controller has outed himself as one of their supporters,and is still pulling strings at Red Hall?

Level playing field ? As Jim Royle used to say My Ar*e.

That's the way I see it. Besides, if anyone thinks the bulls play by the rules they're living in cloud cuckoo land.

They don't break rules as they are tailored by the FC and co-horts to suit all their needs.

As soon as the RFL decided to make all SL teams have a reserve team/squad/league and provide each SL team and Bradford £100k to help pay for it we were never ever going to able to compete. Even with the help of the wonderful Supporters trust we can’t afford it. The most wealthy clubs (app art from Bradford) are given £100k to run their reserves and the clubs with very little but want to develop their local talent are tossed aside again.
I wonder what percent £100k is of Fax’s first team budget? I would be happy for the RFL to give £100k to help run a first team squad let alone a reserve team

So are you saying there an additional £100k on offer for running a reserves as well as the £100k for having a category 1 academy? Because a reserves team costs less than £50k, lets be honest.

As I understand it there is no separate funding for reserves. Teams who run a tier 1 academy receive 100k of funding towards that, Which they have to match themselves. It is a requirement of receiving that academy funding that they also run a reserves for which they get no extra funding,
