The hardship fund was set up for those staff working for the Bulls voluntarily after being made redundant to help them meet their financial commitments. The support for the academy has come from BullBuilder funds which has always been used to support the academy and is seperate from the hardship fund and is made up from things like membership fees.

I'll see if I can get a total raised so far from the finance guys, but I know they're a bit snowed under at the minute!

I do not see what point you are trying to make?

When we set up Bullbuilder, we had very welcome input and guidance from the Warrington Trust, and especially Roy Chicken. We modelled our objectives on what the Warrington trust does, although all the set-up and documentation was down to us.

In the same way, I gave those setting up the Wakefield trust the benefit of our own experience.

That is how it works in the supporters' trust movement.

The Hardship Fund was a Bullbuilder initiative.

i was just replying to someone who was saying bullbuilder and squadbuilder was totally different. Wasnt trying the we did this first thing.

Have debated all week whether to cut family holiday short and set off Monday instead of Friday so we can go to Wire.

The points deduction, and specifically the amazingly positive reaction from the players on twitter has made it a no-brainer.

See you there. COYB.

Another no brainer:
We debated and would probably not gone to this match until the offer was announced
Now we will be there. Cost of 2 tickets £36.00 is offset by £32.40 going to Bullbuilder.
What better way to make a contribution to them.

Got tickets for the Bulls Bus. £13 each is cheaper for 2 than the petrol and parking costs
