And where did u learn your manners hun. What a welcome. Was warned by some friends. Before posting again should i ask for your permission Stevo. ?.

Let me apologise to the regulars for feeding the troll.

Why are we so worried or in need to find out who is funding the club, 18 months ago there was no Bradford Bulls, as a supporter your paying for the privlage to watch them not to investigate where monies are coming from to run the club, that is down to the owner/owners to deal with, so shut this subject down and continue to support them, I’m sure that is all the club wants from you

RL clubs are entertainment businesses, comparable in some ways to a cinema, for example.

However, imo, their owners are also custodians of important civic institutions, in a way that I don’t think those of cinemas (or a bowling alley etc.) are. Maybe cinemas were once, tbf. I think fans are stakeholders as much as customers, and owners should be a little more accountable than is the case for a normal business. Generally, I think they are. It’s probably good business, if nothing else, to have good communication, and a sense of togetherness.

Given Bradford’s recent history, i’m not surprised it’s an area of curiosity.

The thing is Mr. Chalmers, there is no doubt that the club just want you to hand over your money and not ask questions. That's been quite clear from day one.

Unfortunately intelligent people who care about the club will rarely do that. They may hand over their money because of their feelings, but they'll want to know if someone is being unscrupulous. Especially considering recent history.

Well said Rover and Chops. I hope you huns wont be accused of being trolls and put in front of Stevo's self elected firing squad.

I really can't believe you are being serious with that viewpoint

Given the recent history of the club, with repeated owners constantly telling us that everything was fine and then taking the club into Admin weeks later, and then discovering a litany of lies and deceit - what on earth do you expect?



I'm with Hamster Chops. The long-suffering fans who have been pumping money into this club since long before Andrew Chalmers arrived on his white horse should be afforded some upfront honesty. And the part-owner divesting himself of his 50% share on the q.t and none of even hearing a peep about it qualifies as just the sort of stuff that we've have a bellyful of these past few years.

Am I missing something here,,,, are we in financial trouble again

Would we know if we were?

Mmm 1 + 1 = 3

I’m as nervous as anyone regarding the Bulls finances, but having followed the paper trail as far as I know how, I do think there is nothing to see here.

There was talk months ago of Lowe trying to sell his share of the bulls, presumably to finance his retirement following his heart attack. At the time Koukash made a Statement to say that he had been offered the share but wasn’t interested. It was an odd out of the blue statement, but at the time he was undergoing a split of his own so I suppose I can understand him taking the defensive.

It appears that after trying to find another partner Chalmers bought out Lowe himself through one of his companies.

Do I think we should have a keen interest in the bulls ownership and finances? Hell yes! Do I believe that anything of note has happened that causes me concern? Not at all. Following the heart attack Lowe was partner in shares only. Had the not recovered from his illness then who knows who would have gained a 50% stake in the bulls. As it stands it appears that we have one owner, and that he is working tirelessly to make the bulls a self sufficient business.

These are my opinions, and I’m not an expert in such things, but I’m happy that we have a team to support, and an owner who appears to know what he is doing.
