So, as I've said in other threads, I managed to find some probable email addresses for Andrew Chalmers and Graham Lowe, and sent out the same email to them until I found one that was delivered. And, luckily it was Andrew Chalmers email address.

He replied asking me to go in and discuss my concerns at the next home game, which was today. I was quite surprised he got back to me asDeano,
You are more than welcome to call into see me at the next home game and discuss your concerns in person.
Please let me know.
Regards
Andrew Chalmers

While I don't want to get ahead of myself with the content of what he said, we all came out from that room feeling a lot happier than when we went in.

Well thank you for sharing but I remain unconvinced by them and actions will speak louder than words. They continue to let some absolute numpty be the public face of the club they're supposedly running, that in itself worries me. Today's twitter feed says our next home game is against Olfham today at 15:00. I mean seriously ffs, it's frankly embarrassing.

I'm willing to listen but I remain unconvinced that this season is anything but a sham and a waste of my time, money or effort. My only hope is perhaps there will be something to get behind in 2018.

All I can say at this moment is thanks you.

I look forward to the second part of this.

Sorry to be a pain. Have you emailed chalmers with you minutes?

I look forward to part 2

I haven't. I only got home at 8 and have been doing family since. I'll try and get them done tomorrow and send them to FA for proofing.

We did mention the spelling/grammar and he did get back to us about that too. He said they were going to give the lad a dyslexia test and if he passed that they were going to run a drug test on him....

I have to say, without an actual public declaration, which is something the club is lacking in providing, I really am leaning towards the belief that there will be no Bradford Bulls in 2018 and the only reason these guys got the club is because the RFL wanted to put people in charge who'd at least ensure there was a club to see out the fixtures that were already in place in order for other clubs to get a pay day when the Bulls come for a visit.

I have no faith in the club or the RFL and I honestly feel that 2017 is the last year there will be professional rugby league in Bradford

Preposterously inadequate and an appalling way to start up a professional, well supported Rugby League Club imo

Glad to see he gave that a suitably sensible response. That bodes well for the rest of the questions.

Whilst I am interested in hearing 'something', I would have to take anything said with a small dose of salt. Given what we have seen so far has been less than professional, why would we assume they're capable of delivering what they're planning?

More importantly, why hasn't he done anything about it!?

I hope there's more to that particular topic. If the answer was just "Yeah we know, he's a f***ing idiot isn't he hahaha" and then ignore it and carry on, then it's not dealing with the problem. They shouldn't be testing him for drugs, they should be sacking him. I don't accept this idea that he's learning the job because the mistakes he makes consistently and repeatedly are the exact same mistakes he made last time, and the time before. If you don't learn from your mistakes, then you're not trying to be better.

Yeah, it was a lighthearted comment to the question at the end of an hour of us grilling him. They are aware of this now and hopefully this issue will now go away. We did point out that it makes the club look foolish.

Well quite. I'm just a name on the internet, and you can either believe what I say or not. That's one of the reasons I asked for someone with more 'clout' than me from this board to come along, to add some weight, and was grateful to FA for coming along and asking some more pertinent questions than I could too.

But, I completely see your point, and you can either chose to believe what I report or not. Much the same as us thinking that despite AC answering our questions fully and truthfully, we will only see if he delivers on them in the fullness of time.

I'm assuming that the visa for Toovey will be covered. Did I hear Mick make some reference to him having returned (or going to return) to Australia recently (or soon) on BCB yesterday?
