I think it was Mick Gleds who metioned something about walking from red hall to odsal good friday............
If this was to go ahead - how about contacting the T&A and people like look north and calendar to see if they can give any coverage to make people aware of waht the bulls fans are doing that day to help the findraising along the way ??
Just a thought

| I've made my pledge. Truth is, in the space of less than a fortnight, I don't know what else I [ican[/i do. If the club went belly up and I hadn't done what little I could, I don't think I could look myself in the face.
Just hoping it's not over and out.

Either Red Hall or another destination. In Bulls full kit, dress the cars up with flags and banners.'"
I love your ideas ha ha - keep them coming, id be up for this

Whilst it's easy to blame individuals, this is actually the real core of the problem which if not dealt with I believe will inevitably bring us back to where are now, only weaker.'"
Sorry yes, that would indeed be a big advantage, and I should have included it.

| If we go into administration we'll lose all the talent we have developed and will have to start from scratch!
Pointing the finger is all well and good but in the mean-time please PLEDGE!

| I am not a Bradfordian and do not live there, however i did live there for almost a decade and enjoyed many times up at Odsal. I have put money up for the past two pledges even though i can't get to all the games as i am a Doncaster season ticket holder and resident.
My head tells me not to support this latest pledge as i feel the best way forward is to start again with a new club in the Championships (minus Hood etc), however after i have calmed down since yesterdays anger i have come to the decision that i would not be able to live with the thought that i did nothing and let the Bulls die.
At the end of the day it means our two Bulls season tickets cost £175 each, so there will be £200 on its way from Donny. I just hope i get to see my beloved Dons go head to head with the Bulls in a couple of weeks time.
There can be a good outcome to this if everyone makes the effort, as a Dons fan we know all about admin, points deductions and going bust!

Losing your young stars would be a worry but it will only happen if other clubs have both the funds to make an administator an offer AND the room on the salary cap to accomodate them. At this stage of the season there surely can't be many that have both those available. The big clubs will be up to pretty much full cap and the smaller ones no money to pay a fee. It would be up to the RFL to police the cap correctly and pervent any clubs getting round it.

I said yesterday that I couldn't bring myself to do it and that I couldn't bring myself not to either. I am still in this camp, but I am very much edging towards ponying up some cash.
The shamefully low guilt trip is working on me.

| Aye, as much as I was adamant I would not give this current board a penny of my hard-earned cash, I'm feeling like I just HAVE to.
The thought of no Bradford Bulls is heart-breaking.

| And frankly, seeing the messages of support from others on FB and Twitter has had a strong effect on me too.

13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

| Administration is not the best option despite certain pluses, the Club would lose far more than it would gain and the fallow years that would follow will be a longer than so far, to keep the sprit of Trevor Foster living on the Fans have to pay up that is the best option all round, people can save the recriminations for when the Club is back on even keel!
