Supporters of the Bradford Bulls do not have a properly-constituted organisation to offer them a voice and a formal communication channel to the Club, following the lack of support for the Trust.

For a professional SL team this is IMO ludicrous. Is the Club interested in the voice of its supporters, other than running fans forums etc, which allow opinions without any recourse to any real rapport and intercourse with the Club.

This topic is put up for discussion.

I don't think this is an issue for the club, more an issue for the fans.

I can't really see the problem,it certainly looks like things are been run right

They do. It's called BullBuilder.

Not sure that it had or has a lack of support. It does lack people with the ability, willingness and time to drive it, and uncerstandably so as it's a big committment for anybody. But they DO have a "properly-constituted organisation to offer fans a voice and a formal communication channel to the Club", ready and waiting.

But what do you want the club to do about it? Even if it wanted to put in people to run the Trust, that would obviously be as ludicrous as it would be pointless. The club could start up a supporters' club, or something like that, but what do they ever achieve, and anything created by the club itself would hardly be an independent voice, now would it?

Perhaps if the new club had engaged more and better with the Trust then things may have turned out differently? As it is, I'm not really sure at all what the OP's point is.

Fans can approach Omar and Ryan Whitcut as well as Vipin who are oopen and honest and answer any questions and welcome idea's that people may have

The trust is still there but had to be mothballed due to lack of interest - great shame a half dozen individuals could not have been found to keep it running - if only to continue it's support for the lads in the academy. It seems to be a modern malaise that while people are more than happy to express an opinion - they are rather less willing to do something to back it up.

If there is a share offer then the trust could have been a vehicle for a genuine organised fans voice at the club.

It's also part of the modern condition that we're all rushed off our bloody feet with complex lives

As a Board Member of a Supporters Trust, I feel that the Club is missing a great opportunity to work with a willing group of Supporters-BullBuilder. The Trust is Independent, controlled by the FSA, and can use monies raised for the benefit of eg Junior Teams. Our Trust has through hard work raised a sustantial amount over the last 2 years and now has a good working relationship with the Club and its BOD.We have regular Board Meetings plus meet the Club Board when we feel necessary, also regular Members Meetings with Coaches and Players attending.I feel for the Board of BullBuilder, but do we do better being a smaller Club? It's not easy to get volunteers to do things and we are a small group, but all work together.
