If I'm given the choice between: administration, losing our best players, a new board

OR

the same guys running the club now, but we survive this mess without a fire sale

Then I choose option number 2, every time, without a moment's hesitation. Some people want answers before they pledge, that fine. But I'd rather have a rugby club to support.

I'd agree if I really thought the Bulls would cease to exist. I don't believe that. I think you'd still have a club. It might have to go through some tough times first, but administration would give you a fresh start.

I've just pledged, but i would also like the answers to those above and many more.

Spot on, and as fellow Rhino, I agree with you.

As is said, I watched some now very close friends and Trinity supporters initially thinking this was a good idea start to reasonably collectively realise just this is just a waste of money!

I know I'll be pledging today, just waiting for Bennett to email me back with answers to my questions.

Last one is where are the buckets. Finished Uni for easter now, so I'm thinking about setting up stall in the train station, not going to be reaching the thousands, but every little helps, right?

The current board members are not "the club", I'm not inclined to send money their way so they can stay in their ivory towers given the opportunity to mis-manage the finances all over again.

The fact that there was a pre-planned, pre-packaged mailshot tells me this is about preserving the status quo who have, at best, consistently misled the supporters about the state the club is in.

On another note, not everyone can stump up money but I know from experience that there are lots of people willing to offer time. Maybe people could flood follow Ewwenorfolk's lead and look for other ways to support the club. I'll happily carry a donations bucket on a stag doo I'm on in Barcelona this weekend

Who are the shareholders at Bradford? Are they putting any money in? Why would people put £100 in to back up the club and get nothing back for it?

Because the thought of it being our last match ever is too much to bear.

Listen... just take mine and Clans advice. The Wakefield fans demanded the money be held in ESCROW, ask them to do this - get them to publish the signed legal ESCROW agreement from their solicitors detailing exactly what the target figure is and when this needs to be reached by for them to access the money.

Then the club can publish the ESCROW account details and get people sending in REAL money as opposed to pledging money!

That all said, as Clan and many other Wakey supporters are saying, don't waste your money! Once the emotions have settled, you will come to realise, like they did, that it is not worth saving the existing management and while administration is very scary and brings the unknown, it probably is the best long term hope for the club!

You are not being offered a good deal by the club though, they expect you to just pay to cover up how badly run the club has been. You need a change all together at the top. We have landed on our feet with Ian Lenegan buying us and takin us away from Whelan and Lindsay i hope you get someone just as good.

I would like a PLEDGE (is that how you do it?) from the BoD - to match pound for pound the money raised by supporters.

Awful news for Bradford, the very best of luck in getting things sorted out.
