I've finally pledged. From what I can make out of our financial position (we don't appear to have huge debts, but have very little cash coming in) we wouldn't see enough of the benefits of Administration (the ability to clear the debts) to offset the obvious downside.

It doesn't look like we'll hit the target. But a healthy pledge total will demonstrate the commitment of the fans and should make the club look marginally more attractive to potential investors.

How can they announce they are going when there is no one to replace them?

It has been said a million times on here

- we know questions need answering
- there is no one at the moment to run the club other than Hood
- he has said he will hand over if someone sticks their hand up and steps forward
- unles people pledge, bail the club out & then we look to move forward it wont be a problem who runs the club

We need to pull together if you care for Bradford Bulls. In times of crisis, solve the problem and sort out the underlying issues later.

Come on, please

They announce there going and who exactly will take over, Caisley? The current board have already said they are more than willing to step aside should someone come in with funds to take the club forward.

We all need to get the message out, this isn't about supporting the board, it's about supporting out club, keeping our star players and potentially ensuring Bradford Bulls does not disappear.

I think getting 1800 people to pledge to hand over their hard-earned in this way is pretty impressive actually. Remember that you do get services in return for your season ticket purchase, so it requires less commitment in that sense. By Friday you'll presumably have about 2000 people willing to put their money where their mouths are. Pretty good going, and won't look too shabby to investors either. Few businesses can point to a customer base as committed as that.

You are Chris Caisley, or one of his camp.

Do the speccies know EVERYTHING you have done to try and "support" this club?

We have been assured by Peter Hood that he would stand down TOMORROW if someone genuine, with the funds and the interests of the club at heart was to present himself.

HE stated that categorically.

But he can't go until that person manifests himself, can he?

Thanks Adeybull, for your explanations, your time and your love of our club. I beg people to think very carefully about the scenarios you eloquently explain. I am so desperately weary of the rantings of people who cannot have grasped the basics of administration and ultimately insolvency, but instead are using this desperate situation to have pot shots at a BOD who at worst lack charisma and marketing/PR skills. We had that before and look where it got us. On my way to Odsal now to buy tickets and donate 20 flapjacks that my kids made this morning. They are heartbroken and needed to do something. Perhaps these are the gestures that the PR machine needs to be splashing all over the media?

No "perhaps" about it. We need a media strategy. Stories to tug the heartstrings, stories to explain the situation, stories to show how we're going to get out if the mire and ensure it never happens again.

Those are the main areas to focus on. We need them on TV, radio, print and on t'interweb.

Maybe I should call the t&a and tell them we're on our way!

To be honest that's not a bad idea at all. Media loves human interest stories. Gives a different angle completely. Give em a ring 01274 729511.

Bulls past 300k mark according to the website good effort everyone keep it going

Why don't you volunteer Adey, you don't need to be a shareholder to chair a board!

He'd do a better job than you Chris.

Why did you sign Harris again?

I already AM a volunteer. Did you not know?
