On the subject of Bullbuilder, I understand there was to be a discussion at the AGM as to whether to continue to put all funding into the academy, or to start putting some towards the first team? Out of interest, which way did that discussion go?
I am a member but was unable to attend the AGM, but I am interested what happened with that.

BullBuilder is the name of the Bradford Bulls Supporters Trust. Its aims are:
To invest in youth players at academy, scholarship & community levels whilst raising their profile
To build a conduit between the club and the fans with the understanding that we are not here to run or publicly criticise the club

Over 1900 views interested in Under 19's why not join Bullbuilder to support them:

Come on its these young local players we want to help develop.
Hope this is helpful and clarifies. |

Thanks, I assume I misread the letter that went out to members? I was sure it said something along those lines. Good to hear the focus will still be on the academy though, I wasn't personally keen on monies going towards anything but the youth level. |

I can confirm that there has been discussion of where BullBuilder might assist in the funding of things that might have a 'dual' benefit. For instance some equipment might be used by first teasers but it would be primarily for use by the 16s and 19s.
There may be a knock on effect of some donations. However this doesn't affect the aims of BullBuilder or the work it does.
There was something in the letter about how closer coordination with the foundation would help BullBuilder achieve its aims. This is now happening but as was decided at the AGM there was no need to change what from what BullBuilder has always done.
John Bastian has described BullBuilder as a God-send. The more supporters that join BullBuilder the more help we can provide to the 16s and 19s.

Thanks, I did think I was going a little crazy for a moment!
I'm glad that the direction isn't changing. I've supported Bullbuilder since it's early days and will continue to do so, as I believe in what they're doing and wouldn't want to see it change that. It seems like the people who run it (and have run it in the past) have their heads screwed on though! |

Article appearing in the Sunday Bulletin below:
BullBuilder ready to charge again in 2016
2016 sees a newly invigorated BullBuilder ready to continue its good work to help provide the extras for the U16s and U19s on top of what the club provides.
All funds raised are used to respond to requests from the club for those extra resources that will make a difference. Items provided last season included a leg press, IT equipment, camcorder, boxing equipment, motivational posters and a team building night at a local bowling alley.
The U19s have already made a great start by beating Warrington 38-20 in a pre-season friendly at Dudley Hill. That win saw a number of standout performances and was particularly eye catching given the number of players in the squad that have just moved up from the U16s who were taking on older and more experienced opposition.
To win so well against a side that enjoys so much financial backing shows what a great crop of young players are coming through and what a superb job the staff are doing. We’d urge supporters to get behind the 16s and 19s where they can. These lads really appreciate your support.
BullBuilder will again be doing its bit to help and in the pre-season has clarified what it does in three simple sentences:
WHY – To help our Under 16’s and 19’s to realise their ambitions and make their time with the Bulls rewarding and enjoyable.
HOW – Raising funds (including BullBuilder membership fees) for the extras the Under 16’s and 19’s wouldn’t otherwise receive.
WHAT – Plan and organise events using all our members creativity and harnessing their enthusiasm.
BullBuilder has added some new blood to its committee with long standing supporter Paul Butterworth taking over as chairman. Paul has been supporter since 1967 and his highlights have been seeing homegrown talent come through the ranks. Supporting him as Vice Chair will be Paul Fisher who again is a long serving supporter and who in a volunteering role is engaged by the club as player welfare coordinator at the Bulls. Joining them are Ann Tudor, Sue Cator, Vikki Sharp and Mark Winder.
BullBuilder is planning a number of great events in 2016 and is keen to bolster its membership. So far members have made an invaluable contribution which has enabled us to invest and provide support for the U16s and U19s. Annual memberships are available now for as little as £10 per year.
To renew your membership of BullBuilder and read about your/our achievements please visit our website at www.bullbuilder.co.uk/join/, or contact us at Bradford Rugby League Supporters Society Ltd, Suite 2 ButtershawWorks, Buttershaw Lane, Bradford, BD6 2DD.
