I posted my thoughts on quitting before. 'Cos I've been pretty pigged off myself.

For me, the main tragedy seems to have been averted, no trail of debts, no relegation, no loss of ticket money (so far, that we know of..) no 12 point deductions. I'll have to live with a weaker squad since with most of the spine seemingly already on their way I assume that is how it will be and since I always thought the squad last year was quite a bit too big I'll actually quite happily forgo the approximately 33 man squad.

I'd hoped we might be among the front runners this time round, though it now seems probably not. Not that I've ever really hankered after SL too much. I appreciate that SL clubs get sufficient money to have decent squads, even with poor crowds, but you still need the money to get there and we didn't, and still don't have it. Simple as. We haven't had it on any season since we got relegated. If we're competitive then ok, I can live with it. Not sure I'll be up for all the away games though. And, I've already done something this season I have never done before during the summer era. I've booked a holiday in June without waiting for the fixtures to come out and, do you know, I couldn't care less which game or games it forces me to miss.

When we went bust and briefly ceased to exist I told my fellow mods that if our forum was closed I'd work quite hard to troll every other forum. But I had a lot of fire back then. More of a wet flannel these days.

Quote: pjbull "Goodbye FA and thank you for all your heartfelt posts down the years.

It has been years since I have posted but I cannot not. I am left slightly bemused by the response to events of the last 4-6 weeks by Bulls' fans. We seem concerned by two things which are that the new owners don't have any money and whether we will be competitive next year. Rather than worrying about next year we should be focusing entirely on what the hell has happened over the last two years.
Let's not forget, practically none of the owners of Championship Clubs have money to speak of - but have they racked up all the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, our gates are 3-4 times the size of most other clubs - but have they racked up all the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, that we had two Cup ties this season which will have boosted club funds by £150k that other clubs didn't - but have they racked up the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, players have contracts so the owners know exactly what playing costs they are committing to; we didn't get relegated from SL with a commitment to huge contracts. How the hell have we racked up the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, Chalmers was put in position as a fit and proper person with the club having no debt and the promise of running a tight ship that pays its way.


Does anyone know where we can see the Bulls' accounts for the year 2017-18?

There is something seriously not right about all this and I would suggest that Bulls' fans don't worry themselves about next season but apply the brake right now and rather than be taken in by the sound-bites from Perez/Sawyer/Wood ('fell in love with the brand" - my ar*e) start asking some difficult questions, seek complete transparency and, if necessary, involve the Bradford MPs. Otherwise it looks very likely that the Nestegg scenario is the only logical outcome to all this.'"


Accounts for year ending 31st Jan 18 are available to see on the Companies House website (search Bradford Bulls 2017). Year ending Jan 19 accounts are due by the end of this month.

Can anyone who understands accounts please explain how the Bulls in one season, according to the Balance Sheet as at 31 Jan 2018, seem to have racked up a deficit of £580k and yet the Board have not seen fit to file a Profit & Loss Account?

Just curious that's all.

Well, I hope you get it sorted but I do think to leave Bradford is a mistake. I know Park Avenues ground is far from ideal with a running track and only 3,000 capacity but at least it's in Bradford. Surely with some temp seating, you could just about make it useable, at least until you know where you are. I'm guessing it's council-owned?

I don't know Bradford all that well so I may be way off.

Best of luck
