It does sound a little shoddy.'"
The notice was short considering all the provisions we had put in place like work with the RFL regarding the pitch and staffing at games.
The thing I think is obvious is West Bowling have more juniors in their system than any club in the city. Its obvious the Bulls would want closer ties with them, I dont mean staff but I mean share a facility where Bowling kids and the academy are on top of each other, this is no excuse by the way.
Until this ground share its never been possible as in honesty we are still the only rugby league club in Bradford with the facilities we have to accomodate.
We do feel a little alienated and to be fair feel if they had given adequate reasons other than a £1 difference to fans and ample notice to switch it wouldnt have been as bad. Like I have said I am totally put off the owners/ownership model now and wont attend any games unless an away game in the home end, I wont line their pockets now.
One thing I will say is while Chalmers did whathe did, the relationship between ourselves and the Bulls was the best I have ever known it in my 17 years of being involved at theclub. He was always there always paid in as did Kear, there was only one person when I worked the gate to complain about paying, I wont mention names but shouldnt be hard to work out, Chalmers and Kear on the community club side when working together were fantastic to work with and enjoyed when personally asking them, watching the games down there
