| Oh dear. Chris Caisley?!
Isn't he the one who got them in to this mess in the first place.

| Caisley was foolish enough to start the "Harris" saga but Hood also weighed in with plenty of "We'll trounce them in court" rhetoric and BS.
I honestly can't believe they've raised as much as they have whilst they have the same board in charge.

| Its not looking good is it.
A couple of hundred grand off their "half /5:00 tomorrow" target and Caisley pushing the buttons.
I see he wants Noble on board as a consultant too ( Bradford T&A)
How long before they dust Harris off for a few games or coach when Potter walks.

You don't really believe they needed £500k do you?
All bull to me. Think they are giving the begging bowl to get as much as they can, rather than what they need. Disgraceful management in my opinion.

If being invited to speculate (and I choose to interpret your question mark that way) based on nothing but hunches and media reports, I think they owe quite a lot more than that. I think producing £500k would buy them some time and appease a few creditors for a while.
I am increasingly coming to suspect, however, that nobody at the club really thought the pledge scheme stood a chance of doing anything other than demonstrating a strong brand loyalty to investors. I think there is some panic setting in now that it is at least a credible possibility that the £500k might actually materialise. I don't believe they ever had any intention of collecting on it, or doing anything other than going into administration.
This is just idle specualtion, but meh, what's the internet for?

| If the Bulls come through this I hope that they will stop living beyoind their means. After all, on tunrover almost a third of ours they managed to lure away Scruton for more money and Diskin with a better contract.

Scruton left because he was on the outer (hence the derisory offer) due to a lively drunken fracas involving another player. Diskin reneged on his one year contract extension immediately after he'd cashed in on his testimonial. But don't let facts get in the way of an agenda, whatever you do.

If they could afford a decent solicitor they could make a case for libel there

| There'll be some kind of announcement at half time to let us know if they can afford to come out for the second half or if not a very macavellian GH complete with cape,top hat and stick in Albert Goldthorpe twirly 'tache will be seen on the big screen with his hand on the floodlight switch ready to muhwahaha the Bulls into financial oblivion.
By the way, if one of them dare wave a bucket in my face to donate to their bull$hit sham of a publicity stunt then........

| Guys just wanted to make you aware of the bucket collection before, at half time and after the game in the stadium. It's BullBuilder (supporters trust) members supporting the club during our biggest game for years.
"The Quest for Survival isn’t just about big donations of eye-catching amounts – welcome as they may be. It’s also about the mass of small gestures and small donations that just as vividly show everyone’s determination for the Bradford Bulls to survive, so please dig deep for that extra bit of change!"

Thanks for reading

| Like I said on another thread, I honestly expect some last minute mysterious benefactor (who's been known about from the start) to step in at the eleventh hour to save the day and all will be restored.
I have had to buy tickets at full price today (x2), add to this travel/parking, food/drink (x2) and you're looking at the thin end of £100 - if anyone waves a bucket in front of my face tonight I might help myself to a few quid and thank them kindly. Anyway I've bought the eldest a new vacuum cleaner this morning which accounts for 100% of my charitable donations for today.

I thought if we failed to complete our fixtures they all become void and are erased from the records?
I cant work out how you will make up the Magic Weekend fixture so that you don't end up with 24 fixtures compared to everyone else's 25? And presumably any tickets sold for the Magic Weekend become refundable?

| It's cold & raining...so I'm not off.
Not standing in that dump freezing my balls off.
Doubt very much my £5 will help secure their future anyway, and don't really care if they go tits up or not.
