Interesting times to come. Seems someone has a big idea. Jonathan Charles Round is the only officer. He is a Chartered Co Secretary who clearly helps people set up firms.

Interesting? Nah not really, I'm done with new clubs, points deductions, relegations and then the vitriol from other supporters.

Worryingly JK has had no reassurances from Chalmers since the RFL statement. We all know how this ends don't we.

Looks like Sunday will likely be my last live RL game which hurts to say but I've had my full. Had some fantastic memories as well, met my wife and created a family together. But probably now time to find something else to fill my time. Sunday will be an emotional one, just hope the missus waters hold til then to be there!

Apparently Gareth Roberts is serious about setting up a new RL club at Horsfall.that could be the answer.told he can apply for league in 2021.

Same. Im hoping we can get through this uneasy period and Chalmers puts a lot of unease to rest when he returns. But if we go bust again then that's me done with the sport. I follow the Bulls out of loyalty and but the sport I just don't love at the moment.

Anyway see what payday brings.

Is support any pro league team in Bradford.

Likely true Mr Dog. Similar to when someone buys up all the web domains for a popular subject in hope they can sell it for a killing later on

Why is there no information coming out of the Bulls?
They have Irvine, McFarland and Duffy still in Bradford so why are we left hanging on for Chalmers to return to these shores. Do you not remember him saying in the past he employs people to run his business so if he is not going to be here who is in charge? It would not surprise me if Mick Gledhill has been left with the keys the way this lot seem to be running the club at this point in time

I'm not quite so pessimistic as you as to how things are (I'll wait for Chalmers to return and, just maybe, explain what the hell is going on) but I can say definitely that unless the
Chalmers version of Bfd rugby 2020 continues I won't be supporting any other and I'll be on my way down the (metaphorical) road. If AC were to sell the current club, lock, stock and barrel as a going concern then I'll continue, but any administrations, winding ups etc and I'm out of here. you don't even get life in purgatory for murder.

Well I’m trying not to be pessimistic but when you have people like JK saying he’s heard nothing from management then for me it sets alarm bells ringing. Very clearly, all is not well up at Odsal. Perhaps Chalmers has covered the losses until now but is reaching a point where he can no longer do that, then fair play to him for taking the drastic action.

But I just feel the staff deserve better than being left in the dark for a week after that RFL statement, especially after recent history of the club.

You're correct, it is the recent history which is making the problem infinitely more unbearable. Once bitten twice shy - how many times have we been bitten in the last few years?

I was thinking about how to raise some mega money to buy the club and stick fingers up at the RFL, Council etc. I know where there is a repository for gold bullion. I am looking for a locksmith, several people with vans with extra-reinforced suspension, and a fence who could cash in a few billions-worth of gold bars no questions asked. Someone who knows how to operate those dangly wire harness things would be a bonus. Oh and has anyone got any torches. Head torches would look more professional. Who's with me? I think you need to wear a black outfit.

I look FABULOUS in black. I'm in.
