I like the fact that this is going to the Hardship Fund.

Thank you Wire!

we run a similar thing in squadbuilder and this initiative is mainly thanks to them

Fantastic. Thank you.

How much has the fund rasied to date (am I right in thinking it was set up to support staff made redundant)?

Has the fund also been used to meet the academy teams' running costs or has that come direct from Bullbuilder?

I am glad that Warrington has decided to donate to the fund rather than direct to the Bradford club.

Indeed.

As nice a gesture as it was from Leeds, that money will probably go straight to the administrator when all is said and done - this will go straight to those most affected by the situation.

The hardship fund was set up for those staff working for the Bulls voluntarily after being made redundant to help them meet their financial commitments. The support for the academy has come from BullBuilder funds which has always been used to support the academy and is seperate from the hardship fund and is made up from things like membership fees.

I'll see if I can get a total raised so far from the finance guys, but I know they're a bit snowed under at the minute!

The funds for the academy team came directly from BullBuilder and not the hardship fund.

Just heard that so far over £2,500 has been raised for the hardship fund.

Can I please thank everyone who has contributed to the fund, and to Warrington for their magnificent gesture.

Also, if there is anyone out there who would like to make a contribution, you still can!

I assume the cash goes into the 'client account' not his own or his company's account!!
Both money to keep the show on the road and the hardship fund are vital for going forward, and the Wire donation is a superb gesture and well targetted.

Money is being paid directly to Bullbuilder, collected from the stadium (most will be cash) daily. They retain the 10% club commission.

Superb gesture by the Warrington club.

Of course, but I'm sure any administrator will be making sure he gets paid out of what comes in, whatever happens to the business he's trying to rescue.

I have just told you what is happening.

Another great gesture from one of the big clubs, this time going were it's deserved most!

It gets even better - even more generous from Warrington
They are send some seating tickets in the north stand end adjacent to the away supporters west stand.

After deduction of 10% the ticket prices, Bullbuiler should receive for each ticket:
Standing Adult.......... £16.65
Standing Concession.. £11.25
Seating Adult.............£23.85
Seating Concession.....£16.20

This really is a fantastic gesture by the Warrington club, and 100% of what they are donating will go to those in need.

To Warrington, I can only say

We have history of support from Warrington - when we set up Bullbuilder, we received considerable assistance and support from Roy Chicken and the Warrington supporters trust. Indeed, we based Bullbuilder very much on their model.

I suggest these sort of gestures, and what we saw with the pledge, show that there is a lot more mutual support within the game than sometimes we appreciate?

And they put the unpleasant postings on here of a small minority of nasty, bitter little people purporting to be supporters of certain other clubs into their proper context.
