Probably deserves its own thread, so anyone can cook up questions, and those who go can tell us what went on.

Apparently it is over 2 days

I can only think of three.

1. Who is in the consortium

2. How much money is available to fund the club as it appears next year’s funding and season ticket money has already been spent

3. Why did they decide to buy the club.

4. Are they mad?

One that i have thought of is the mythical club shop still going to be in Wibsey.Scrap that I've just read the posts below.

Is Nigel Wood involved?

Will we have dual reg in place? I dislike it, but I think we need it.

Why should we still care?

We've done this dance 4 times now, so what's to say we're not going to do it again in come 2021

Plans for academy / reserves?

What will make your ownership any different to the multiple previous ownerships, who have also held fan forums when they took over?

Do we aim to be competitive next season and are there further plans for beyond.

Someone beat them to the shop in wibsey I know someone who tried to get it as well but lost out

Where do we stand with our best players and good crop of youngsters. Will we be keeping them or are they leaving as most of us can't face losing them all again?

What is the full extent (in pound notes) of the creditors listing - more so, what value of that is overdue? How can this be suitably managed going forwards given the supposed lack of cash within the current entity.

Obviously it was Andrew Chalmers plan to "return" to Bradford in a couple of years or so to a "bespoke" ground. What are your plans in relation to a having a new home with a Bradford postcode?

How long have the consortium been involved in talks with Andrew Chalmers to potentially take over the club? Did Andrew seek you out, or did you seek him?

clubs just released something about new shop opening soon on social media. doesn't say where. Seems odd to be signing leases etc with ownership in a handover phase.

I understand the new shop will be where the old one was.

in which case the forum question needs to be

'Is it your intention that the club will play at Odsal next season, and how is that to be afforded'?

IIRC the RFL only agreed to AC moving to Dewsbury if there was a plan to move back to Bradford. Presumably they will only ratify the new owners under the same conditions.

Are you just another RFL imposed stitch up?

Which is more iconic, belle vue or odsal?

????????????

Do I detect a note of cynicism in a lot of these questions?



#hardlysurprising

Well, given all other cases where we've had new owners, it's hard to see the RFL changing tack and cutting them some slack.

Well, let's face it, it would hardly be surprise of the century if RFL ratification hinged on them moving back to Odsal.

Sadly, that is correct.

Which leaves us where, given that if there is one thing above all others that I believe AC got right it is that playing at Odsal, under the current terms, and probably ANY terms, is unaffordable. If that is how the RFL play the game they may just as well close the club down and we can all go home.

It's not that, it's more the fact that Andrew Chalmers has gone to ground and is at present uncontactable and untraceable.

The first positive steps by the new owners is moving the club's administrative office and club shop back to Odsal Stadium.

Hopefully more positive news next week.

Will discuss this in more detail on the Pulse tomorrow with Ross and RHP.

Has nestegg just resurfaced?

Are the reported running costs of £500k to open & maintain Odsal accurate?
