BRING THE BULLS BACK TO BRADFORD PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION. https://www.change.org/p/bradford-counc ... bulls-back https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... back-city/

Has this petition been connived by the RFL to recoup some of their £200K already?

Well cuckoo egg it has Bullbuilders seal of approval and I'm sure Bullseye will not be too happy with that remark!

"Bulls should be in Bradford".

Well yes, if they're trying to start an argument they'll need to try a teeny bit harder than that. Absolutely everyone will rally around that flag I'm sure. The council, Mps and the RFL are backing it - well, super, but what are they backing it with? I suspect (and wouldn't expect it to be any money) that it will be more empty rhetoric like the T&A article.

To be truthful I'm far from sure just what the point is - isn't coming back to Bradford the current plan? and we all fully realise that staying away too long will be the death of the club anyway so what's the point of a petition and who are we petitioning anyway, since everyone from council to RFL to the fans solidly agree already that we need to get back to the city?

If the stay in Dewsbury turns out to be a disaster then clearly "something will have to be done", but without some cash or land or some decision that H&S has been suspended and we go back to Odsal, I'm damned if I know what. Even worse, reading the article, which is very short on specifics, it seems they are no wiser either.

Bulliac put it better than I could have done in the post above

Any petition needs to be petitioning [isomeone[/i - it appears that this petition is vaguely aimed in the direction of the club, the Council and the RFL, to somehow 'hold them to their commitment' to bring the club back to Bradford.

Well, I'm sure you won't find any arguments there...

Anyway, it's cheaper to build in an economic slowdown (does anyone still believe that?) so let's hope someone wins Euromillions.

Please clarify. Yes, the undoubtedly honourable Judie was round at BullBuilder last week, but why will the excellent Bullseye not be happy with the remark; which part of the remark?

Anyhow, back to key issue here. Haven't some of us fans (i.e. fans who do actually attend games) already wasted enough hard earned cash buying 2020 season tix that may never come to fruition. Then to ask us to contribute to another pot is frankly no more than adding inult to injury, It's for the RFL to spend the circa £80K-£100K that's needed to re-open the doors of Odsal; not the fans Circa £80K or so should after all be loose change for the likes of the RFL.

As said many times we hope that Sawyer and Wood make a good go of it and once again we wish them the best of luck. Mind you the utter codswollop peddled out in this week's RL rags will not help their cause.

If the land & the lease are the problem, what is the problem? There must be value in the site as everyone seems to want it - does anyone have an estimate? I assume money needs to be put in to unlock value - is it put £6m in, get £12m back in 5 years sort of value? More? Less? Is it arguing about the profit split that is delaying things?

We have the figures, but not something we'd be willing to share with forum members at this stage mate, and trust you understand why.

Nestegg-
As a member of the Bull Builder Board , I’m sure I would have noticed Judith Cummins presence .
“Round at BullBuilder last week” my a**e.
Did you assume that because we decided to support and publicise the petition?
More importantly, your group promised to respond to the allegation of a racist comment. We wait and we wait.
Perhaps the moderators will take notice.
