It seems amazing to me that anyone is prepared to gift cash to a failed management team unless it were to be done as a new share issue - then all those helping in the bail-out would have a real stake in the club and a mechanism to hold the directors to account.
Don't do it that way and all you've done is reward incompetence - and that never works!
Desperate situation for such a high profile club, I do sympathise with all you Bulls fans

i think it is more important to keep the club going just now.if they manage to survive then im sure it will be dealt with by those with the power to do such things,or the money, but at the moment im prepared to risk £100 to keep my club going.

I've pledged that's 400 quid from our house.

After listening to Radio Leeds I'm more confident that we'll do it and TBH I don't want this to be the end of the club.

The way I'm looking at it is that 175 (it was 75 quid this year wasn't it?) for a season ticket is better than spending 75 quid on a useless plastic card.

The way i feel now i would pay £100 to help us survive if it was guaranteed, which is basically what the pledge is!

£100 promise to give us a chance, a no brainer to me

Cannot believe the news that such a great club such as yours is in trouble.

You embraced superleague like no other, and was held up as the way forward.

Hope you sort it out and get back on track.

I thought long and hard before pledging today. Loathe as I am to give £200 to the fools who seem to be intent on running our great club into the ground, ultimately this is what made me do it:
1. The thought of no more Bulls. That just can't happen.
2. The almost overwhelming support of other club's fans. If they are supporting us, then how can we not do everythin in out power to keep ourselves going.
3. The almost unimaginable thought of our greatest talent playing in another team's shirt. That would be hard to stomach.
4. Even with this pledge, it is still only the price of a season ticket.
5. It's the Bulls. It's Bradford's club. It's our club. We can't let them die. We can't.

It's not the time to rant and rave. It's not the time to sack the board. Right now we need to secure the club's future. Right now, we need to get through this. The fall-out will continue, but right now let's keep our beloved club alive to fight another day.
Come on you Bulls.

When we went into admin i never thought for one second that we would not exist so there is no reason to think the same. I am sure there are a few takers for the Bulls but only if you go into admin. The current board more than likely have been struggling for some time now but won't want to let go of Bulls unless there is something in it for them.

I can understand why people are hesitant to pledge, but you seriousley can't consider administration as a viable option??? If we don't have our licence revoked, we will have to endure a painful season of thrashing after thrashing, with a squad we barely recognise as we lose all the likes of Koppy, Bateman, Whitehead etc. Then at the end of the season, we reform as Bradford RLFC, playing in alien colours & plying our trade in championship 1, against the likes of Londan Skolars and Gateshead Thunder! (no disrespect)

But sure, we have a club with a clean sheet, a club run by the people for the people.... Rubbish!

Get behind our club.... surely it is worth saving! Yeah the BoD needs addressing, but if we fail to deliver now there will be nothing more to address!

I don't even want to contemplate losing the Bulls, this club means far too much to us to lose it! And I'm shocked at the amount of people who think administration is the best option!

NO BRAINER!

After a day of soul searching it comes to this:

The priority is saving this club. The protest over Hood out comes AFTER, which it will from me.

I understand your feelings and why you are coming to this conclusion at the moment but I would implore you and all Bulls fans to let the initial emotions settle down over the next couple of days and then think again. Go over to the Wakey board and ask the sensible and prominent posters what they think you should do with your £100... it won't be give it to the current failed management. You should all think seriously and calmly about what the fans can do as a collective with your £100 and more. Bullbuilder should change it's scope or a new supporters trust should be set up with a specific aim of trying to save your club for the long term and you should give them a £100. If you give the current management your £100 you will probably be in the same position again in six months, will not be any better off and £100 worse off!

I think many of you need to wake up and smell the coffee!

Save your money and start thinking what you can really do to save your club

The problem with administration is that they have to somehow get a team to Widnes on Easter Monday and put a game on against the Giants two weeks after.

If all the suppliers get letters from the administrator saying they aren't getting a penny from the club and have to apply to get whatever they can get back I can't see that being possible. Is that coach going to turn up on the Monday for example? Or are the police going to provide the neccessary officers at the ground on the following Sunday? Are the company that provide the stewards going to stand by the club?

If the club can't fulfill their fixtures the RFL will be forced to boot them out and then it's not a viable business.
