| "Security" is the excuse used at the turnstile apparently. Even though it's applied inconsistently.
We've never been stopped from taking a flask in before, not in 30 years. Sounds like an ill comceived and poorly applied policy that should be binned immediately.
As I said on Facebook, Glastonbury festival starts next week. About 250,000 people will be arriving with piles of their own food and drink. There will be bag checks but no restrictions except on glass containers. If they can do that at a huge event why can't we? It just stinks of opportunist penny pinching.

| Quote: bullpower2014 "are people jumping in too quick regarding food and drink - The food merchants will pay a flat rental fee to the stadium lease holder to sell their products inside the ground, I doubt the Bulls (Cha-Lo) will see a penny of the takings, that will be all to the benefit of the food stall. Maybe people should look to he RFL (head lease holder) who may be the ones insisting on the no food etc...... so they can increase the rental fee.....
If, as alleged, we are not paying any ground rent or maintenance this year then why would Cha-Lo change the restriction on food??
and didn't this come up years ago at Odsal or am I imagining that?'"
I had a similar query and got it on good authority this weekend that the club get a percentage of all food and drink sold in the ground.

| It just seems the club is trying to annoy and get rid of the last vestiges of a fanbase that the Bulls have remaining so as to make it easier when they turn around at the end of the year and say they're closing the club down

I hate to be 'that guy' but I don't want to say much until AC has checked that what I have written to be put up here is correct, however from what he told FA and me the club deffo won't be closing at the end of the season, and it will actually be expanding regardless of what league we are in.

We are merging then, Northern Red Bulls.

I'm not having a go at you Fr13daY but we've been spun that many yarns over the last years that even if AC says Fat Nige & Koukash are ploughing millions into the Bulls and we're going to buy loads of decent players and be in Super League in 2 years - I will believe in when it actually happens. In the meantime we are losing fans every week and everyone in charge keeps quiet - it just doesnt add up.

I agree . However , whilst I do not know either Fr13daY or FA , their posts on this forum give me the strong impression that neither are the type to be charmed by a snake oil salesman. If they have left the meeting with a more positive expectation , that augurs well.
There have been too many false dawns to become over excited but it's already clear that both of them felt they received honest answers.
Fr13daY's e mail certainly asked more direct questions and expressed my pessimistic feelings better than any journalist has managed up to now.
Looking forward to the agreed version of the meeting... and many thanks to both of you .

| You'll be pleased to know that there is a plan B should the club be relegated to League One.

the only thing about that Mick is a couple of weeks ago your interview with him he said there was no plan b. Very contradicting to his earlier interview then

Andrew is naturally positive and when listening back in that particular interview with him, it should be interpreted as such.
Andrew, Jasbir and Geoff vehemently believe that the club will survive of its own doing.

"...... should the club be relegated to League One"
Not having a dig at you Mick, but shouldnt that read "when" the club is relegated to League One?
The chance of us staying up gets slimmer every day, and the loss to Dewsbury confirmed how good we are at the moment.
Other than mathematically (and experience shows how that usually turns out for the Bulls) how on earth will we not got relegated

| Thanks to Fr13daY and FA for making this approach - looking forward to seeing the agreed minutes and the answers.
I also agree with a previous poster that in situations like this, a direct approach from knowledgeable fans can produce results. We get nothing from any local news outlet or journalist. And Mick should be commended for the stuff that he does, but I hope he won't mind me saying that he isn't a trained journalist - particularly in terms of getting to the true nitty gritty of what might be going on behind the scenes. FFS Bob Woodward himself would struggle to get the bottom of what's gone on at this club in the last decade.

It wasnt a pop at him mate just with the current feeling of discontent maybe saying one thing one week then saying something completely different a couple of weeks later isn't going to help the fans who currently feel the disconnection from the club.
