Some technical difficulty in posting to the BullBuilder website. However, in the mean time, here is the gist of the proposal

Excellent plan I have been hoping there would be a practical way to help the lads and the coaching team. I will go and dig out my cheque book!

This is an excellent idea and fully worthy of our support. I was only saying at the match yesterday that I was going to suggest to Bullbuilder something along these lines.

I was asked if I had paid in or used my season ticket. I used my season ticket as I did not know where my gate money would have gone. If I could be guaranteed that my money went purely to wages/hardship (not an adminstrators wages though) then I would gladly pay in to all home matches.

As you can give me this assurance I too am happy to pay my gate money into the fund along with a little extra.

Can someone let me know how I can do this and would you want the money for all home matches up front in one payment or prefer it as a steady income and sent match by match.

Can you also let me know the preferred payment method that minimises any bank/handling etc charges so the maximum amount reaches the fund, and do I have to state alongside the payment that it is a donation to avoid any tax liabilities for Bull Builder?

Well done for taking this on as I appreciate this will cause extra work for some of you.

A friend gave me £20 to put "towards the club" yesterday. I didn't know what to do with it, but this seems perfect.

You can now contribute to the hardship fund by using the link below.

Done! I shall donate the gate money + little extra on each home date until the season end

Sorry if any of the below has already been thought of, just thinking out loud.

Might be an idea to tweet that link (if not already done) to all the major players we can think of, like yer Russell Crowes etc and indeed the players all of whose Twitter followers are just the sort of people who would probably be happy to chip in, if they know about it. Also using the hashtags such as #savebradfordbulls would pop it up around those interested?

Would Ross publish it in the T&A?

Yes he probaly would if you clearly state this will give the coaching staff some sort of pay.

He could retweet it too, he has a lot of rugby and sports followers

He's got the press release. I'll check with him if he'll give it a push.

Good idea. Just sent it to Sadler and Crowe.

Thanks for spreading the word guys

Further detailshttp://www.bullbuilder.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?GUID

Although fans may greet with some relief the news that the deadline to save the Bradford Bulls has been extended until 27th July, it nevertheless means that the uncertainty continues.
In this uncertainty, BullBuilder has been particularly concerned about two groups. Firstly, there are the Bulls’ staff, who have been made redundant and have subsequently shown their dedication to the cause by returning to work for free to ensure that the London match went ahead. Secondly, there are the young players at the Bulls, who appear to have been somewhat neglected in the midst of the financial turmoil.
Until the club’s future has been resolved, BullBuilder has undertaken decisive action to help with both of these issues!
In the case of the dedicated coaching and back-office staff whose posts were recently made redundant, we were concerned to do our best to ensure that their commitment to the Bulls’ cause would not lead to financial hardship on their part.
Therefore, we have established a hardship fund to give assistance to any ex-member of staff who needs it.
The fund will be administered by the Bulls’ club pastor Warren Evans. If any supporter would like to contribute to this fund, we guarantee that it will be ring-fenced for the specific purpose of helping these individuals, and will be returned to the contributor if not used in this way.

Over £500 raised already. Thanks to all who have contributed!
