Positive evening. The Fulton signing was the big announcement. Other signings will come in due course.

On the ground there's nothing else to report other than what we all know already. As far as investment is concerned there is no mystery investor. Having said that the accounts that will shortly be with Companies House will apparently show a small profit. The investment made by the directors that have come on board in the last couple of years have helped. There will also be a new pavilion bar built at Odsal. The improving finances and the improvement in facilities will apparently help our IMG score.

On loan players we won't be jumping headlong into the loan market like we did under previous coaches. I mentioned the injury timescales on the lower limb injury thread. Seems Blackmore may be back soonest. Scurr is still in a knee brace but doesn't need an op thankfully.

Good news, and to use the work 'major' is brave as it automatically gets excitement and hope up. We will all be waiting to see what NIC Services Group can now add and what financial muscle they have. No nothing about them myself, financial director is a Bulls fan though. Its good over recent months we've added a few new people and businesses willing to put something into the club. Let's see what happens over the course of time.

“Wood added “I would also like to pay a heartfelt tribute to Mark Sawyer and Adam Fogerty, without whom the club would not exist or be back in Bradford, together with Debb Sorra who stepped up at the right time to make a massive contribution in time, energy and resource when it was needed most“

Do we think NIC has bought some or all of the shares owned by those mentioned above?

That's how I read it.

Certainly seem to be building a bit of momentum off the pitch at the moment. Players need to do their bit and get back to late 2023 standards, starting tonight v Fax!

Companies House showing movement of shares - consolidated into 4 owners.

Nigel Wood 366 shares
NIC Group services 267shares
Strategic 38 Ltd (wholly owned by Phillip Sharp) 367 shares
Paul Wild 333 shares

Total ordinary shareholding 1333

So does anyone have a clue as to what this new owner make up means? Or is it more of the same as far as the fans go?
