It wasn't really a big game back then. The whole idea of this derby was driven by super league (bulls v rhinos) and success. Bradford were winning trophies, we started getting good again after 96 and we were basically told by marketing - they are another successful yorkshire team, you hate bulls, this is BIG DERBY GAME!

Ask some Blackpool fans if they want to make a pledge..........you may get some interesting responses.

Giving money to Bradford sounds to me like giving money to a 'homeless' person begging on the street, you may feel you're helping but your just funding the behaviour that got them there in the first place

I've worked just round the corner from Odsal since '98 which was more or less right in the middle of Bullmania. I ploughed a lonely furrow as a Loiner in a massive sea of bombastic, arrogant, no nothing bandwagoners who didn't have a clue as to our sports previous 100 year history. I've seen them gradually drop off one by one since 2005 when the good times dried up and I can tell you not one of them that I've spoken to today is in the slightest bit interested in giving their once beloved club a hundred nicker. So with that in true Dragons Den style.....

No I'm sorry I cant do it. I dont want to see the Bulls go under I will not be lining the pockets of Hood and Co who caused this mess.

Or 1962 / 63, when Bradford Northern as it was then, went out of existence on crowds of 300 ....See also Shuddersfield Barracudas at Arena 84

I sincerely hope the bulls can sort it. However, I have no intention of pledging anything.

Charity begins at home and I've enough owing out.

How much has Caisley pledged?? It appears the bubble started to pop when he left.

As bad as it may seem, going under may be the best thing to happen as anyone with teenage daughters knows - the "I'll pay you back later" doesnt always happen.

That's harsh on the homeless. Not all are as culpable as the Bulls' management.

As much as I sympathise for the Bulls fans there is no way that a fan from any other club should give the current BoD and CEO any of their hard earned cash.
The club should have accounted for legal action and the potential loss.
Have they cut their cloth accordingly when revenue was reduced. They have taken on players from the Crusaders and announced new contracts increasing their overheads.
The directors must have known that they were going to have an issue with the bank when they sold off their only asset to the RFL. Where's the bank's security?
The BoD at the Bulls are holding a gun to the loyal Bulls fans heads saying give us your money or else and by the way you get nothing for it. No transparency, No voice on the board, but trust us things will be alright.
If the Bulls fans do this porperly and set up a Supporters Group and insist on a voice of the board and the resignation of Mr Hood and the CEO then and only then should fans from other clubs consider putting £100 in the Bulls BoD's begging bowl.

Just in the interest of balance and fairness, before parting with your £100 you could instead purchase 4kg worth of quality sirloin steak and have some change. www.farmerschoice.co.uk/meat/buy ... paign=beef The decision lies with you.

The tax and MOT for my bike has just cost a little over £100 so... sorry.

Although if a Bulls fan buys my number plate then I promise to pledge £500.

Aye, then consider the amount of suspensions you go through............

and hotel rooms and up-to date books of excuses.

(or is that just me?)
