I think i may have mentioned before you can't run a hybrid squad, the logistics make it impossible. The only players you will have on full time contracts are the ones doing the community work. I think Bradford are doing the right thing, they have no spending power so can't do what Toronto have done and attract good players on big contracts to play in a big league so have to try and pull in some decent quality Championship players in the hope of gradually building.

We'll see Greg.

Going part time sends a message that's a bloody hard sell. The club must be losing money at Odsal. Can't see us affording to stay there in C1. Something will give very soon.

www.seriousaboutrl.com/bulls-bos ... tans-9256/ Toovey in line to be coach at Gold Coast Titans Hmmm... difficult choice for the guy - NRL team on the lovely Gold Coast of Australia, or slumming it with our lot in sunny Bradford? The obvious choice for me is Lee Greenwood, or maybe try and tempt Scott Naylor

Anyone fancy posting update from the forum

I'll have a go posting from the forum. Depends on my 4G. Otherwise will update tomorrow.

But we've signed up on the sublease. Maybe the RFL will extend our rent and maintenance holiday. In return for playing rugby, as if we weren't, RFL would be in breach of their lease. But - does what we serve up count as playing rugby? So many questions.

Off the top of my head - the whole squad need to train together on a pitch - so 6.30? 7pm? The fulltimers do their cardio/gym before that, then head home then. The PT do it after. PT will be twice weekly? FT can train 4 days a week.
Basically the main change is the FT is no longer 7.30am - 12.30pm, instead its approx 4pm - 8.30?
Need to change the academy times around as well.
So not impossible, just tricky...

Only the main stand open next season. Flat rate on season tickets in there. 2 turnstiles open for entire ground. Terracing closed. Weeds appearing. Nobody left except the masochistic few.

Well done everyone.

A part time team in League 1 is the way to go. Unless you are spending the full salary cap you can't get decent full time players in. You actually damage the team as better players in the division don't want to give up their jobs.

Batley and Fev show you what is possible on a part time basis.

We can cerntainly get out of that division and secure a place in the Championship with a part time team.

We'd need a full time well funded (loss making) squad to get into the superleague but so be it.

The academy is something I'm more worried about. I honestly can't see it continuing but you never know.

Wave goodbye to Odsal and ground share with PA at a new venue.The only way forward imo.

Where would the money for that come from. We have none and I'm sure if the BPA fabled billionaire was going to bankroll them to any degree they wouldn't still be stumbling around at the level they are.

Confirmed we'll have a hybrid system of FT/PT next year. Best option IMO

AC says more money will be invested into the academy as its essential for future

Also confirmed we'll have a reserve side

Am I in the right room? It's not started yet.
