Yep it was good to get inside info on new players, albeit unofficially. Another reward for signing up with Bullbuilder.
They really are good facilities up there. There were some interesting titbits of information to come out. For instance on average only 1 in 8 academy signings make it to 1st team. There's a picture of every one since 1998 on the wall in the main corridor. Getting 8-10 home grown players in the 1st team squad is becoming more and more important.
When signing up young kids the competition is hotter than ever. Most decide on where to go based solely on what they're going to be paid and how the 1st team is doing. Medley said that having good facilities helps and stressed how important it was to show there was a pathway into the 1st team and that they have opportunities to make it. So while we may not always be able to compete in terms of salary and signing on fee we have good facilities, good coaches and a a genuine chance to come through.
It's also not always the clubs you think offering huge money to 16 year olds either. It has been the likes of Warrington etc offering 5 figure sums in the past but Wakefield have thrown there money around since getting a new backer.
Medley also made sure we were aware of how important Bullbuilder is in providing funds for new equipment and for things like training at the RAF. The new floodlights paid for by Bullbuilder have made a huge difference.
So if you haven't done already sign up!

| It was good to see around and hear about the commitment made by the juniors and their coaches especially.
As Paul Medley said, he's got an infinite list of things he'd like to do with his budget and a little help, with equipment for example, frees up his resources for something else.
Any names on lists however were spelling mistakes or something...

| Sounded like a good event, unfortunately getting to Bradford for 9am on a Sunday just isn't possible for me. Hopefully make something in the future.

| Off the back of this, I've just signed up for builder and have sent a query (via PM to the BullBuilder account) about how I buy another membership as a gift.
Well done to all those involved

Hi Bullboy thank you for signing up to BullBuilder. The PM doesn't seem to have landed in my inbox though? Emails can also be sent to info@bullbuilder.co.uk.

| Maybe the club and BullBuilder could arrange another visit but at a time that is better suited to those of us who work at the weekend?
Perhaps a Monday/Tuesday evening after 6pm?

| I don't think BullBuilder will be doing another tour of the facility in the near future Mick, can't please everyone with a time and date unfortunately. Not sure if the club have any plans for an open day of their own.

Hi guys, I have now responded to your PM's. The BullBuilder account on here is mainly used for promoting events and as such isn't checked on a regular basis. If anyone requires an immediate response please use info@bullbuilder.co.uk or PM me directly and I should pick the message up the same day.
Anyone who has joined via PayPal or by Post recently may experience a longer than normal delay in receiving their card. The Xmas period and a re-shuffle on the board has caused a few delays. Apologies.

| Everyone involved in Bullbuilder is a volunteer, putting their own time into it and paying their own costs too. Like most people, from time to time people go through extremely busy phases at work and/or personal matters which restrict the time they can commit. A number of us have found ourselves in this situation recently (and in some cases still are), unfortunately coinciding.
For my own part, for example, a combination of a crazy workload and a close personal bereavement means I have been neither use nor ornament to my colleagues in recent weeks. Something I feel guilty and embarrassed about, but I have had to attend to priorities. Several others have their own similar stories.
If such distractions mean that occasionally we are not able to deal with everything as promptly as we would wish, could I ask for people's understanding? Obviously, the more folk who are prepared to do a bit to help, the lighter the load and the easier it is to get things done and to cover for folk who are tied-up with their day jobs or personal matters.
