| One of bids is talking about fan engagement which is OK if they are going to keep the fans in the loop maybe via a supporter panel.
However I will buy a season ticket and shirts to throw in the kitty anything over and above that is a big ask for most people.
Coming to my point I've read a few posts saying on here and on Facebook etc of people saying they haven't been for a while or a couple of years etc.
In my mind although we have good championship gates, one of the best ways of building a new club is marketing it to death and getting the full families of punters back through the turnstiles, the message been use it or lose it...
Not in the Marc Green model or screw every last penny out of you mind.

| It's amazing. After 8 weeks and almost 700 forum pages the club still has no owner. Or indeed being closer to a new owner.If it was a real bull we would have been prosecuted by the RSPCA for prolonged cruelty. It's about time the RFL got their finger out one way or another.

I find it difficult to believe that the RFL can sanction the game.
If the RFL decides on their preferred bidder this week, there wouldnt be time to complete the formalities by Sunday. So who would employ the players and be responsible for their welfare? If one of the players breaks a leg, whose responsibility would it have been to arrange insurance? To ensure that the players had adequate medical staff. Who would be liable for Statutory Sick Pay for the player?
What happens to the "Bulls" proceeds from the game? In which bank account is it initially banked? If it is intended for the players, who is liable for ensuring the correct deduction of tax and national insurance? What happens if the current Administrator makes a claim for the cash?
Who will be sorting out admin arrangements for the game? For example, who will be arranging for and paying for the team bus? Would those administrators then have some sort of claim to be employed by the new owners?
It seems like a legal minefield. I cant believe that any new owner would want in any way to be associated with the game.

| Well I've checked the forecast for Batley on Sunday and it looks like a gorgeous crsip winter day.
Possible risk of a frozen pitch but temperatures above zero.
Despite all that Cibaman's points are worth noting.

| Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "I'm down, cynical and fed up with it all. The RFL wish list makes me wonder if we're not just lining up admin 4.
I've said before on here I can't see how it's attractive to anyone that knows what they are doing and has money to invest.
I may be cynical -that comes with three admins in 5 years and all the crap that's gone with it - but to me fan engagement and all the rest is just another way of saying I can't afford to put the cash in that it needs.
We'll see but unless the new owner points out that they have cash to invest and will be doing I'm not sure I want to go and watch a side continuining to go down hill until the inevitable appointment of the administrators in a year or two.
If i honestly thought things would be different I'd be right behind it.
The comments from other fans wind me up but more so I do not want to be a part of people not being paid on time or worse still not at all at Xmas and then made redundant. Local businesses out of pocket etc.'"
This is pretty much my thinking too. Of all the options that seem to have been mooted, none seem that palatable to me but by the same token I'm not sure what any perspective owner can say to change my mind, other than "I'm being bankrolled by Bill Gates". Lamb in particular seems to be Bulls Chairman-bot 5.0 and seems to be speaking the same way Green, Khan et al before they took over. Ok he's done nothing wrong in what he's said, but sadly for him he'd have to work over a very cynical bunch.
Also would have to agree with the fact that I no longer have time for anyone coming in and saying "the fans have to do their bit" - if that's asking for money, directly or indirectly.
Quite frankly I'm utterly tired of the whole thing and a small part of me wishes the season would go ahead without us as it would make it a lot easier to deal with the fact I have very little desire to watch us play this year.
