| Quote: Bullseye "Wrong.
Where are the fans willing to give up time and money who have the expertise to run a club?
Anyone with that sort of resume has long since got disillusioned. The catalogue of misery has gone in too long.
I speak from experience as someone who chaired both BullBuilder and BISA. The people willing to do something have dwindled and many like me have had enough.'"
Exactly! But people obsessed with the idea and look at it basically as "they can start again and rebuild" completely overook the mood of the fans. If people like Bullseye are saying the above then the chances many from the core 4000 restarting the club are slim.
As another poster said, many (i'd say at least 1500) are children.
If there was a phoenix club it couldnt start for a year and that would reduce the extremely small pool of fans even more.
Then as someone else said you've got all the logistical issues of setting up a board. Getting a ground. Players. Sponsors. Dealing with agents. Merchandise. Sorting out the brand. Training facilities. Hhow many of the small pool of fans has the time and experise to sort that?
For me the biggest issue is whether the fans have the desire. I dont and im someone whos probably a little obsessed with RL. Support bullbuilder and all the championship grounds i can when we visit. Go to as many international matches as possible. I just don't have the desire to restart again after being robbed by Peter Hood, 3 admins and a liquidation.
The biggest killer for me will be losing one of the best acadmies in the country which as pretty much been entirely funded by the fans. That's one bitter pill too many to swallow. |

Either way, the club will have no decent players left by the time this lot have finished hum-min and aaaring.What a disgrace.Welham and Clare almost gone now.
Trevor Foster will be turning in his grave.
Shambolic excuse for a BOD for years and years.

| Quote: rugbyreddog "No. And to be honest we should not expect any. For a start, the council is cash strapped without supporting a rugby club. THere is also a professional soccer club in the city, how would that be balanced out regarding contributions. And we have Keighley RLFC that is also within the city boundaries. And, as I was reminded by REDEVERREADY we were given £5m by the council when we returned to Odsal from VP in exchanged for the now fabled lease conditions.'"
What are the plans for the Richard Dunn site ? |

The councils plans are: Errrrr......... let's see if someone will buy the Bulls and develop it for us.
The local council has recently shut several swimming pools after shelving plans to upgrade them. The council is on it's uppers. |

God forbid any new owner wanting fan involvement. You will have people from the Bulls Banter Facebook page been self appointed spokesman for the fans

You need to ask yourself whether you believe some guy talking with an authoritative voice that you haven't really heard of before or KCNBABT.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Dunno why but I feel the new poster could be a very disgruntled insider, maybe even a player.

| Quote: Bulliac "There is a big big difference between Avenue and Bulls though.
Avenue were dead for a quite a while, before a totally unrelated [except through the heart] local, amateur league, team, consisting of former fans, set up a club and begged use of the ground from the council, Bulls, on the other hand, have a strong, though dwindling, supporter base with a recent history of much success.
The difference is in expectations; Avenue, originally had none, other than to honour the club whose name they bear and to play amateur football, though I accept that those expectations have been raised over the years, that 'dis-connect' from the original club is a major difference, imo. Bulls fans, grounded in success, are somewhat different and generally more varied in their expectations Whilst some can see, and accept, the position the club is in, many are still, seriously discussing "how long before we get back to SL" In other words, it is far too soon for Bulls fans to be like Avenue fans were in the foreseeable future.
I do agree that a ground share, probably not at either Horsfall or Odsal, unless a deal could be arranged about the lease, would be a good way forward for both clubs if Bulls finish in championship 1 [or lower] or even in the championship.
Incidentally, I see no reason why any 'new' club can't continue to use Bulls as a name. Northern continued as Northern after1963 and Avenue kept the Park Avenue name for their new club. Bulls, after all, is a far more marketable name and would be far easier to raise the flag around.'"
Very fair points made Bulliac. |
