Thanks a lot for agreeing to coordinate Wigsy.



Good to see we can manage something constructive on here!

Right then, in so far:

1. Me
2. MDF
3. Bulltastic
4. Adeybull
5. Bullseye.
6. Maccbull BBB
7. Duckman
8. tigertot
9. anarkik
10. beefy 1
11. Bradford Badger (I'm guessing you're in, as it was your idea)

That's approx. £40 each so far, with more I guess wanting in...!?

see pm

But also yes some indication, last seasons sponsorships are offered to the excisting sponsor first obviously. So any new players or promoted juniors would definately be available and then any of last seasons first team squad that doesn't have the sponsor carrying on. If we are serious we can get back in touch and get a heads up on who might be available. I asked about Donaldson but he might be spoken for already.

So for example we'd only need 20 of us to chip in about £25 and we could sponsor somebody like Whitehead or Olbison or similar depending on availablity.

I'll happily pop £20 of my children's hard earned inheritance into the pot.

FWIW don't let Adey or Sam claim they did their fair share in BISA. They were lazy and uncommited and that's why it failed.

Mwa ha ha ha

I'd be more than happy to sponsor any of the young lads that have recently been promoted to the first team squad. I'd prefer it if it were someone who would be likely to get some games but lets see who's available.

£40 is fine with me. If more people want to put their hands in their pockets and dig deep then all the better.

I chipped in with some advertising with BISA back in the day - was a bit sad to see that organisation fizzle out.

I'd be happy to chip in to this if you want more contributors.

Too right, Christian. If only everyone had had your drive, commitment, charisma, expertise etc.



Or even mine.

I would be happy to contribute, count me in

They broke the mould.

For the avoidance of doubt for anyone on here who doesn't know about BISA, Sam and Adey put in a hell of a lot of time and effort during the life of BISA and it would have fizzled out a lot earlier were it not for their drive and enthusiasm.

Lads - I accept paypal and most major credit cards.

If anyone's serious about forming a supporters group, Supporters Direct now have a Rugby League develpment officer - Laura Harrison. www.supporters-direct.org/news/item.asp?n=5326 I seem to recall seeing some Supporters Direct posters in a bar at Odsal a few weeks back.

me too

I'd be happy to contribute as well.

Sounds like a good idea.

I will throw $100 in to the pot.

Count me in

new page, new list.

Ball park figure £500 now equals about £28 each and falling if we all pay the same. All depends on the player mind...

#edit# just noticed Jimmy bulls offer of £100! Good stuff, but I'll leave it for others maybe to decide as to how much we need off everyone (flat rate for all or just what everyone wants to contribute in a donation kinda way??), but I think its already at a level where its definatly doable and we could have a RedAmberandBlack sponsored Bulls player next year



(could also solve the newbanner issue??)

It could always be a ploy by Long to make a fortune from his book while getting banned for life from the game so he doesn't have to play for Hull next season.

Senior moment there.

Thanks to everyone who has picked this up and run with it. Just to summarise questions that may arise so far:

[listWho coordinates contibutions from the posters? - =redWigan Bull?
Who liaises with the club? - =redDuckman / Wigan Bull?
Which players are available to sponsor? - =redDuckman to confirm?
How can we agree on which player to sponsor? - =redForum poll? Ballot by PM among the contributors?
Is there any interest among us in going on to start a squadbuilder scheme? Would the club be interested? If so, who would organise? - =redFor further discussion?
Given points made so far, is there any mileage in exploring a new Supporters Association? - =redSeparate topic / sticky?
[/list:u

probably a good example of why I shouldnt have the responsibility of the money!!

Oops - should have been on the betting scandal thread.

Mods - Sponsored Player Sticky?

Deadline for people wanting in? Thoughts...

I'm happy to take it on (I don't want to wade in and take over here....just think 1 person doing it would be easier!)
