Absolutely gutted for you all over there.

We know what it's like to have a badly run club and for the grace of Pearson, we could have easily been in your position a year down the line.

A warm welcome awaits you at The KC on Friday and I hope the club allows you to have a bucket collection, I'd gladly chuck a tenner in.

However for the contribution you loyal fans are being asked to make, there should be a clause which states that Hood and his cronies walk away from the club and hand it over to a supporters trust / group who could then open up a share opportunity to the fans for you to really become 'The People's Club' once more.

Good luck! Super League needs a strong Bradford Bulls Team.

Respect to this man!

More of this attitude please!

I have respect for all posts, and everyones view points on the matter, but I'm with this guy!

Great post.

In many ways I can't blame anyone who pledges, or feels that they should pledge but that pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.

Well get yourselves bloody organised then and get this fighting fund set up!!!!

It's in the wings. I do feel the Save The Bulls Foubdation should be lobbying for some board recognition.

Good to hear Aaron!

Good luck with it all - I'm sure the majority of The Rugby League family are behind you all the way!

My feelings exactly.

Now I've settled down a little what you've said echoes my own situation. It's 20 odd years for us of agony and ecstasy, ups and downs. You feel you've grown up with some players, seen them grow from youngsters. We've had, Jimmy, Robbie, Baloo, Mcdemot, Big Joe, Henry, the Penguin, Danny Peacock, Gartner, the Beaver, Forshaw, Les, Shonny, Micky Withers, Fielden, Peacock, Pryce, the Burgess Clan and all the new ones coming through.
No doubt I'll part with £200 before long! Hope it's all worth it in the end! Memories.....

All Fans who can instead of agonising over it just pledge, it is not a shares option that is not the table, what is on the table is a way to stop the Bulls becoming a fond memory in a couple of weeks.
There will be time to ask the questions when the pledge succeeds and the Club is stabalized.
I will be putting my pledge in shortly, it is a gamble but it is one of those gambles thats worth it even if you lose it in the end, at least you know you tried along with a lot of others!

Those who have confidence in the board, or at least take at face value what they have been told, are likely to be keen to hand the board what money they can.

Those whose confidence in the board has been badly shaken, and/or do not believe they can have been told the whole story, will understandably have more reservations about entrusting the board with their hard-earned cash. At least until and unless they learn more about what the hell so changed between January and now. Changed such that, from being given the clear impression in January that we were financially secure, we are now given the clear understanding that we are days from insolvency.

And in some cases, heart may be for the first, and head the second.

Those who never had confidence in the board in the first place, and believe they were anyway being lied to, will of course be very reluctant to contribute anyway.

Speaking as someone who feels very let down indeed right now, I can fully understand why not everyone is falling over to go down the first route right away. The explanation we have been given seems far from complete to me, and I need to have a much better understanding before I decide how to best to proceed.

Agree with most of it Rhinoms, but when were this frustrated there's bound to be dozens of posts you could pick out and find fault in. ATEOTD we're all shocked, angry, disappointed, upset. Wouldn't even wish this situation on you lot. If we did have to go out though, a last win vs the Rhinos at odsal would be great. But I'm hoping, praying and believing it wont come to that.

Not been on here in so long as I have been travelling and not seen much of the Bulls this alst couple of seasons but I echo the sentiment of many in saying I will not pledge while the people who have led us from one mess to another in recent years are still in charge.

If a fans group is set up or a business-savvy potential owner needing help are willing to give it a go I'd be more than happy to put my hand in my (not very deep) pockets.

I am surprised we have not heard more from the RFL, as it seems inconceivable that they would let us fold having just bought out the lease for Odsal - surely if we go bust our rental contract is void and if they do not allow a new club to start up in SL like some suggest surely that would leave one of their biggest assets standing empty and not making any money so they NEED a Bradford team in SL. Or am I missing something?

The club is practically begging anyway so I think this could get us a few quid, if other clubs agree to it obviously could we get buckets out to every game in SL this weekend. Cleck bull's been doing threads on other forums and most fans agree that if there was a bucket they'd chuck a few quid in.

Chucking money at the club will not help, please talk to the Wakey fans in the know, we have good experiance in this field. God knows what we have been through in the last year or three. There are right ways of doing this and chucking money is not the right way, sorry
