The biggest plus we have in our away support, which will surely rise further in SL


Toulouse and London don't bring anyone, and York and Oldham don't bring many.


I know people say that teams shouldn't rely on away supporters, and I agree. But SL chairman would be licking their lips at the prospect of our lot filling their away end.


That alone should get the SL clubs voting us in (despite our crap ground, etc)

From what im reading in the press 12th spot of img likely taken by york/ Toulouse, if it’s Toulouse both them and york are virtually guaranteed we then are battling it out as outside contenders with Oldham and London

No one, not even Gledhill and his imaginary live table know who's going to be the 12th club. Ironically it could come down to who wins the champ grand final.

As much as York are doing some good things and having an amazing stadium, I don't see where this "they're nailed on for SL" comes from. They've as good a chance as us. They've some strong elements to their club and some weak areas.

Also with wood as our owner can we even get promoted? Conflict of interest

Took care of that few months ago. Resigned as a director. So he’s just a 1/6 owner with no executive interest, as far as Companies House is concerned 

York did something clever a few months ago. They employed Newcastle’s academy coaches, thereby taking over a functioning academy setup and turning Newcastle into their defacto feeder team. So for a few thousand pounds they collected img points in the catchment area section and community engagement section. 

I refuse to believe you wrote that paragraph it must have been a Chat Bot programme! 

I thought Jason Hirst had hacked his account!

Voice of reason and positivity me! But seriously the club appear to be back on the right track and working hard on what I imagine is still a tight budget - we probably do need to focus on what we are doing well at. There are plenty of other empty heads on social media who will point on the obvious re the stadium etc.


I know for a fact, that some of the parents and kids invited to recent community takeover games are coming again to further Bulls matches. The Friday night matches are proving to be quite successful at creating a positive fan experience.

If nothing else its enjoyable seeing any post that includes "Odslum" or "Sadford" as it automatically marks the author as 14 and you can scroll past.


Although that theory means one of the more frequent Halifax posters has been 14 a LONG time.

The chairmen of the clubs are saying they want clubs which enhance the reputation of the competition. What this means is they want away support turning up this is revenue exercise nothing more nothing less.
