I will be buying and wearing the new bulls shirt and I also would like to thank Provident for supporting our team, the company is no worse than the banks that have helped put this country in the state it is in now. Whilst you may disagree with their work practices it is a legal company trading in the UK and employing a lot of people in Bradford.

I will be wearing the new shirt because it is my club's shirt. Design, quality and other issues are totally irrelevant.

I always thought it was rappers?

People kill rappers?

Tupac and Biggie didn't commit suicide.

I have enjoyed reading the hand wringing socialists in this thread. On the basis of their argument we shouldn't have accepted JCT600 as a sponsor as they arrange car credit that folk can't afford. Nor should we have encouraged Tetley to sponsor the main stand knowing what alcohol can do to your liver.

All I know is we have a Labour MP heavily involved in running the club and clearly he doesn't see a problem.

As with most things, if in doubt blame Thatcher!

This thread has just been ruined by the usual plethora of pompous bores IMO.

If you don't like the sponsor then tough titties. It is here for 3 years, it has safeguarded our team and it may well help make us successful again.

I would take a sponsorship from the Jimmy Savile Foundation if it meant us winning trophies again.

In fact, I hope we get Wonga on the sleeves, Cheque Centre on the back (top) and the Money Shop on the bottom. That would really annoy people.

They choke to death on the plastic packaging?

Nar, people having differing opinions are what good threads are made of. It's been ruined by the fact that people on RLFans tend not to be able to argue their way out of a paper bag, and confuse repetition of content free, straw man nonsense with debate.

Anyway, compared to where we were just a few weeks ago, I think it's brilliant that we're able to nitpick between ourselves over whether we think a sponsor is appropriate. Who knows, soon we might end up actually having threads about what actually happens on the field!?!

Yeah that pretty much sums it up for me too.

Well, as I said on VT, I've watched BBC's Panorama and it was very Michael Moore-esq. Edited with music ques to fit an agenda and lacking in anything other than the thinnest of flimsy arguments.

To me it seems that the standard of BBC reporting is now the same standard as all the other Media outlets ie "Sun Journalism" is now the norm, the so called "Fourth Estate" has in reality been a Council Sink Estate for some time.

The tabloids often print their apologies as a footnote on page 27 next to the ads. The BBC should do likewise and broadcast it during the Open University programmes at 3am.

I've never quite understood why they broadcast those several hours before the time they know the crazy foam-covered students roll back home . ..

Er, it's Open University, yer know for people that are in jobs or studying from home. Yer foam covered lot will be watching Family Guy repeats.

Any chance of sponsorship from international WOMD manufacturers?

I don't see what interest international arts festivals would have in Rugby League...?

Peter Gabriel is a regular darn t'lane.

Its getting worse than the T&A forum this Post

You're quite right Eddie. Until two people you don't like discussed something you don't care about the light fscking shone out of this thread. And now it is what it is. Lesson truly learnt. No, seriously.

Be more like you, that's my new mantra. That'll interest things up a bit and keep the misanthropic pomposity down to normal levels.

So, now that Provident have dipped their toes in to sponsoring our good friends at Valley parade, I wonder whether City will get the bagging we did? www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... ship_deal/

FA I read that report in the T and A and thought the same

I can remember a lot of City fans who were slagging the Bulls off for dealing with a "loan shark"

Bet they will be quiet now

Remember that also they couln't wait to bag the bull on the T&A boards for getting into bed with the devil and that we have sold our soul, but they shut up now, or maybe they will b**** and moan and some how blame us for allowing a loan company to sponsor us which has then allowed them to be sponsored

After yesterday's news perhaps the Bulls should seek sponsorship from the CoE and their new Godsquad loans?

They might be able to throw in a few plagues on the on the other teams and maybe a rain of fire on Huddersfield?

Does the C of E actually exist?
