Quote: paulwalker71 "Thanks for the assumptions GFB, which are well wide of the mark BTW. For the record I first attended in 1969 as a small boy with my dad, and kept going through plenty of lean times, including a season when we got relegated to then Division 2, and another season (was 1976, I forget?) when we only avoided relegation with a squeaky win in the last game. There have been plenty of bad times, and I've sat through some absolute dross, for example when David Hobbs was coaching us.

So, hardly a fair weather fan. What seems different (to me, at any rate) is the way that it would seem we are being manipulated at the moment. The whole saga of admin, liquidation, the process by which the current owners got the club when there were apparently better offers, the whole things seems shady at best (and downright corrupt at worst). Then there's the persistent rumours that this season doesn't matter as we won't get relegated anyway. The whole thing seems really weird, as if there are many other forces at play that we are not being told about.

TL

So you have been around long enough to know it was unlikely a knight in shinning armour would turn up and throw a load of money at the club after what has happened which again begs the question I have asked numerous times on here, what were you expecting? You are the 8th best team in this division and from what I have seen that is probably about right, you have been dealt almost an impossible hand because of the RFL panicking and not knowing what to do(I still believe they thought or think they can help Bradford, afterall they would be stupid not to) but you just have to get on with it. I truly believe if this had of been some other club like Rochdale or Dewsbury then that team would no longer exist or at least would not be at this level so again its not a great place to be but you still have a club.

Came away from the meeting in a far more positive outlook than went in. Great job by Agent Fr13daY in making the meeting happen.

A few year ago after we had been bummed by Crusaders, when Matt Orford was still here, I emailed Peter Hood and asked him a few questions. He had the courtesy of emailing me back and asked me if I wanted to go in and have a chat about what was going on, I went in twice to see him. At the time we were looking for a new coach, he told me Brian Mac had applied for the job but Hood thought it was too soon for him to coach the Bulls, obviously before he went to Leeds. Mick Potter ended up getting the job, if only we hadn't of been docked 6 points that season we would of been top 8 and the last few years may of been so different

Hood also told me, regarding the ground situation, this was before he sold the lease, that he expected Odsal to be done up and Ken Morrison to provide the final 10 million to finish it off.

Looking back at all that now it probably sounds like we were having a good drink and dreaming of what might be

I hope the things said in the meeting today were a bit more believable guys, good that he's made the time to see you both and have a chat

Quote: Bulliac "When they first took over, someone posted a sort of plea to them, (sorry, I forget who) telling them exactly what they had to overcome to win our trust. It was probably the best post I've ever read on here, but sadly, the new owners either didn't see it or decided to completely ignore it. They certainly have done very little to try and win hearts and minds, and for many just a little would possibly be sufficient.'"


I think the plea you're thinking of was in WobblyHeadedBull's blog on Tumblr.
