Other than the people who were livestreaming the games a couple of years ago I can't see there being much interest in our division and that, if the clubs are going to make money on the deal, would entail some of them being a bit more savvy than they were previously.

That’s why a lot of clubs are signing big names trying to make the league more attractive. They are selling it with the international rights

Us and York chasing Cuthbertson according to Yorkshire Evening Post

Shouldn’t be too hard he’s not that fast

I'd say that would be York then...New stadium, exiting times v same old rehashed 'back where we belong, no stadium, but we're Bradford bulls' nonsense. Who'd choose us over a team with a home?

The only Ace up our sleeve is JK. Sometimes he appears to give us a pulling power greater than we've earned. York just further illustrates to me how dumb it is that City, the Bulls and PA play in three different stadiums. If anyone ever meets a Bradford Councillor can you slip in the subliminal words "Richard Dunn Site" and "community stadium" somewhere into a sentence?

To be fair one or two already have.
I'm not sure the home ground counts for that much in a player's mind - unless it were Wembley Stadium, maybe. How much they were going to be on, maybe the possibility of some kind of coaching job and the security of their payment each month might count a lot more to a player on the cusp or retirement. I guess they are all individuals and will have their own priorities.

Training facilities count for a lot, ours are quality.

With the reserves being cancelled, every club (including ourselves) who were going to run a reserves side will be letting a lot of people go. And it will likely be the ones who have just left the academy who will be let go. Real shame. A lot of decent quality 20 & 21 year olds suddenly have no playing opportunities if they were deemed not ready for 1st team squad.

I wish our league and lower would create a propper subscription service so I can watch more games. If there is one please let me know.
After 45 years of being a northern / Bulls fan I have to admit I am going off RL fast and rarely watch a SL game to the end on TV. I actually think the games in our league can be better viewing. I have decided to cancel Sky sports in December when the contract is up as I can't watch more than 5 mins of footballers diving and swearing at officials. Can anyone tell me of another sport where they go out and deliberately cheat and get away with it as it has become "normal"?
I do fear now for our sport now we have another 6 months possibly without much income.

Absolutely agree with this a subscription service where you can purchase a season ticket for say 150 or all games home and away for 250 with the extra 100 shared between other championship clubs imo would be massive if other clubs got on board too!

Evening all, in case you are not aware next player announcement tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

Adam Rooks, 1 year perm. Happy with that one

Another good signing. 2021 shaping up nicely!

Is it just me that's wondering where the clubs going to get the money to pay these players from. This years wages have been pretty much covered by the furlough scheme I'd imagine. There's probably even a bit of this years funding from season tickets and sponsors left over as we haven't had to pay out as much, eg stadium rent, winning bonus's, stewarding costs etc.
But where's the income coming from for next year. No sign of season tickets going on sale yet and no indication of when fans could be allowed back in ground so imagine take-up will be significantly down on this years figures. Would imagine sponsorship will also be a harder sell as they aren't getting much exposure for their money.

They did say there’s some exciting commercial announcements to come over next few weeks as far as season tickets go there’s always a way around it all and so long as you can offer an alternative that’s fair to supporters I’m sure you will get uptake.
