I think its great. Should be kept IMO

It just doesn't look 'Bradford'. Looks like some spanish bull fighting forum. Change it.

My only comment is it should be a bit thicker but apart from that I like it.

I really like it, I think it's a refreshing change.

My only niggle would be the size of the banner, although I do appreciate this is part of the new ruling with banners.

All designers changed their designs to accommodate the "ruling" but having had a look around, it's not apparently a ruling that is enforced on other clubs' pages, which does seem a tad unfair.

Though not as unfair as it is on josefw's black bull - which to accommodate the narrow height has had its nads cut off

Ultimately all sites will have to adhere to the new banner size.

Given we were having a competition, which the above banner was winner as voted by the majority, we were asked to fit in with the new size requirements.

Can we change it? Yes we could.

Will we be doing so? No. The comp was there for all to use their vote. Whilst a forum isn't a true democracy (does any really exist?) Josefw entry won by virtue of it being the one recieving the most votes.

End of . . . until next year, where we may well "commission" the banner and impose it . . . . . given the amount of comments following a vote



Well done josefw. You won fair and square mate. Don't take the negative stuff to heart. You can't please all the people all of the time.

its pants!

What did your entry look like?

I voted for it and still think it looks great. Right colours, right order, right size, right expectations of featured elements moving on for better pay / lifestyle.

Any word on whether the bull is likely to report back for pre-season training?

At the moment it doesn't bother me either way about the banner as I still have the old one displaying on my screen, is the new one supposed to be up??? So no change here.....maybe I'm just stuck in the past

i had to hit CTRL+F5 to get the new banner to show. my browser must have cached the old image.

i bet this new banner will be quicker to load on my mobile too, although not tried yet.

Ah, cheers for that....might try that later.

the last couple of years have been poor, this years is better, but not rugby league enough for me

I assume that all the dissenters out there are all gonna enter their own super duper banner for the 2012 campaign?? Looking well forward that those. Should resemble the Louvre of here with all the budding Picassos we seem to have.

(Incidentally, I am complete crap at making these banner things and therefore I appreciate the ability of all those who entered. They all did a considerably better job than I ever could.)

im no picasso or david hockney myself but i can have an opinion on what they regard as artistic.remember the hockney telephone book, lots of local kids did there own versions and most were as good as the original and a lot were far better.

So you didn't enter then? A wee bit out of order having a pop at other peoples' efforts I would have thought?



Erm. No. I don't whatsoever.

Ah! Sadly I did not get my copy of the Bradford and District phone book in Central Scotland. Probably why Mr W Bowling Bull went straight over my head.

I also see josefw's banner as very symbolic.

I see a strong and determined Bull, wading relentlessly onwards, from out of deep shi#t, leaving behind a crimson, bloody stain from the merciless cull.

And if you could but see the bottom half of the picture in the full size original, the bull has just taken a reciprocal dump on a certain absentee, hence the raised tail...

Nah, the symbolism in it is quite clear to me.

The Bull has just done the mother of all farts, to demonstrate precisely what he thinks of those who do not wish us well. He is clearly using his tail to dissipate the consequences.

You are correct regarding what he has just deposited on the Unspeakable One, though.

And his front hooves are nicely embedded in the Sack of Rat Droppings, in the most delicate specific places.

If only I was allowed to use the bigger banner size aha

I preferred banner 4 but this was my second favorite.

As you say Varky.....an emasculated bull taking a dump!

Well done Agent Josef.
