Quote: juliebull "I had been supportive of the las BOD efforts however if these facts are true they dont deerve any respect. the treatment of fans and creditors beggars belief. Sadly they have prooved to be liars and cheats.

Regarding the future I cannot see any alternative but administration. No one in the right mind would invest £500k in the shambles of a business the club is.

Time to wipe the slate clean and get on with rebuilding and accepting we may have a few more painful years.'"


Thanks for at least trying mate.

Absolutely fuming about this.

This shower on the board are at fault too though why did they let it get to this point? Two years without one monthly review?

I pledged and paid and now I want something back from the club for it. If the shareholding expect anymore money from me they can shove it. Up yours Bradford Bulls no more season ticket purchases from me or my family until the club are owned by someone else and not one of the current shareholders.

Here's the new boss - same as the old boss.

Really wish someone new turned up completely unrelated to any of the current shareholders.

Weve been taken for mugs. We might aswell try sell Bateman, Whitehead, and Kopzcak, there the one that will get any sort of money. We might get £350/400k for all 3. The club is a complete shambles.

I dont see what the good news is?

Good news and Bad news for club, what's the good news?

Still no investor and further in debt that we thought.

Pretty bad reading and as others have said it's in the public domain so if it's untrue you'd expect the old BOD to take action.

One way or another I'm sure we're all hoping this is resolved quickly, the only good news is they're quietly confident they can avoid administration?

so, 10 pages based on a made up rumour, pretty sure this thread can be locked and the op's reliability is confirmed.

Problem with any so called "good" news (struggling to see to good bit to be fair) is that is anyone even vaguely trusting of anything coming out of the club at the moment? There could be a different spin on it by Monday evening.

As for my pledge money, meh, can't get worked up about it, we're not in administration (yet), the last bod are gone, so the way i see it the club are hardly any worse off for my cash are they? As it turns out I (and every other member) should probably have been paying at least £100 more for my season ticket anyway, so I don't feel out of pocket.

What I do feel is utterly p!ssed off at the shambles that has and is being played out at my club that I've put so much time and effort into over the years. I'm not going to bother debating the specifics, its all just fubar.

I'll just turn up to games, support the players pulling on the shirt, and hope against hope that we emerge with a club in any shape at the other end. (not too fussed about which players leave or stay as long as I can turn up to watch a Bradford rugby league club next year.)

That's how I'm viewing my pledge money

Yep, so for people who would buy a season ticket come what may like me, its no problem as I've saved money over the last two seasons....but, I imagine its more of an issue for non season ticket holders, fans from other clubs for example, who gave in good faith and now it seems like it was, at best, just buying about 6 weeks of time. That may or may not be acceptable to individuals but I wouldn't begrudge any comments or feelings they might have either way, and I'm not going to defend the club or either bod's one iota, this mess is all self inflicted ultimately.

Quote: Bully_Boxer "Once again we see this quote that the Bulls are 'losing 100k a month'. Is this really true or is the situation being exaggerated for some reason. I've largely stay out of the debates on the financials but I can't get my head around how we're apparently losing such huge amounts and what further cuts the club can possibly make to turn this around. Other than have a drastic reduction in the size and quality of the playing squad.. what else is there left to cut, up at Odsal?'"

Profit and loss is a minefield for the layman and certainly way beyond using the ins and outs of an accounts book to determine it, and even an accountant would really need to see the full accounts before being able to comment accurately. It is easy to extract bits to 'prove' your point though, so whether the £100k represents just one month (of no home games) or an accurate reflection of £1.2m over twelve months is anyone's guess, and certainly beyond mine.

How a few so called businessmen can screw up peoples careers and thousands of peoples lives is appalling, they must have attended the Mickey Mouse school of business studies.
I cant say I am surprised at the figures, I just hope we can pull something out of the hat and avoid administration, big euro lottery on Tuesday a few extra lines me thinks. icon_razz.gifRAY:

Were these the 'programme notes' Frank Whitcombe was telling us all to read on Monday? If so, his definition of 'interesting reading' differs quite a bit from mine.

I am a season ticket holder and would have bought one anyway. We haven't saved a penny. The club priced them and we bought them. Simple as that there was no saving involved.

If it wasn't enough then they c0cked up simple as that.

Caisley is preparing everyone for admin but he's being clever! Leak the letter then put it out in the public domain that "hood" is at fault & we have no other option but to call in the administrators because of all the debts. Crooked that 1 I tell you! Bulls are screwed. What a sad decline from world champions
