What else was said mate?

as part of coming out of special measures some players will have to leave(no names}Hall of fame to be resurrected. BBBB (bring the Bulls Back to Bradford) will be on the club shirts. No mention of nest/pest egg !

Oakes, Hallas & Evans weren't in the list that Chalmers said were signed up for next year, suggesting they've now signed. Pickersgill, DFJ, Hitchcox, Keyes, Minchella, Hodgson, Farrell, Storton & Milnes were on AC's list though.

Pickersgill and DFJ werementioned as signed. don't remember any of the others ypo say as being mentioned

Sorry Hodgson and Farrell also mentioned

If Keyes and Milner go what are our options at halfback? Lilley, Green and Pickersgill?

We’ll find it difficult to sign up another half this late on.

Are there any decent half backs in L1 we could go for? Southernwood?

So that leaves Hitchcox, Keyes, Minchella, Storton & Milnes as doubtfuls? Storton & Milnes we know have been offered around. I'm sure the club won't want to be losing the other 3, although let's be honest, who could blame them if they wanted out? Who could blame anyone for wanting out? Suggests some or all of those are the ones looking to leave as a result of the pensions crap though.

If we don't count those 3 questionables, I would think current signed line up looks like:

1. Joe Brown
2. DFJ
3. Rhys Evans
4. Ross Oakes
5.
6. Brandon Pickersgill
7. Jordan Lilley
8.
9. Thomas Doyle
10. Steve Crossley
11. Connor Farrell
12. Evan Hodgson
13. Sam Hallas
14.
15.
16.
17.

so if we are brought back to Bradford does that mean back to the same old Odsal with NO improvements!!!!

Nah it will be that boutique stadium AC mentioned. How I wish that is the case.

It just worries me how temporary this set up all feels. Perez worked wonders for Toronto but helped by a bucket load of cash I assume. That won’t be available this time round.

Once again we had a solid team. We only needed a few tweaks and some more experience to be challenging top 4 in the championship (not promotion to bloody super league!) but once again we are decimated. Sigh

Thanks for that pal.

So when they say we’ll be a hybrid they mean part time with what 3? Full timers. Probably the way we should have been but gutting to see the squad stripped down to the bare bones again.

That part doesn’t bother me so much look at Leigh and fev last year. If those leaving are paid up what they are owed in full including medical stuff that’s alleged to have been neglected. Plus a lot of those left are academy products.

It’s all this cloak and dagger rubbish and still more pointless slogans. Bbbb on the shirts wtf?

Still waiting

Having been through this several times it is not surprising that so many are cynical. How can a group (seemingly with little financial clout) a)be allowed to take over the club, and b) want to put all their worldly possessions at risk on a money losing venture like BB?

Nobody wants Jordan Lilley then? I am shocked. Shocked.

Maybe Lilley is wanting to stick local due to opening his new business in Bradford recently and also coaching Stanningley,

I sense a little sarcasm.

I’m assuming it might be giving person or persons a chance to cover their tracks. I’m sure a full enquiry to the whole situation would make an interesting read, a read that I’m sure a lot of people don’t want out in the public domain.

It's quite cringeworthy really. After every one of these forums, one of these bloody slogans comes out. Probably because they have a habit of people getting sucked in by them. Problem is, the more this crap happens, the less and less people are getting drawn in by them.

Has 'Destination Super League' gone then

Bradford born player set to sign. According to Bulls twitter (I know Bullseye (hope he comes back to the forum) mentioned we were after Liam Hood earlier this year. Unless it's George Flanagan. From Dilligafs list, we definitely need a few bodies in.

I don't want to go back to odsal. There, I have said it.
Let's have a new start.

Can't help but think that Odsal is the key to everything. If that is true then this last 10 years is so much better than th Da Vinci Code. Not sure how Tom Hanks will feel about playing Ralph Rimmer.

I have had some magical moments at Odsal that will live with me forever. But it's a bloody great hole in the ground and if someone else wants it in such a way as to help them AND us, then that's fine by me. There's a brownfield site literally over the road with Noah's ark on it. Can't our 'boutique' stadium go there?

Haven't posted on here for years but have started reading again for obvious (tragic) reasons. Just a couple of points,

I don't understand the level of opprobrium for Nestegg and Mick. Mick is a fun character and shouldn't be taken too seriously. I've enjoyed Nestegg's posts but don't understand the point of them. Were he and his cohorts to take out a full page ad in the T&A and Weekly/Express making a bold bid for the club with basic details about who they were and their plans for the club with confidential proof of funds provided to the editor, then I think it would be a stark counterpoint to what he and many on here describe as a shameful and mirky years long process to where we are now. I think it would be very difficult for such an approach to be resisted by those he suggests have ulterior motives. At least it would give credence and support for an independent enquiry into this sequence of events which is desperately needed to restore confidence in the provenance of the sport. While they post on message boards - they don't actually exist, except to annoy those who are close to situation.

With regard to the sequence of events mentioned above, it seems Nigel Wood's DNA is spread thick over every one. That he has now come into ownership of the club, which in fairness many have known about for some months (years?) is a shock even to the cynical observer. From the secret loan, the purchase of the lease and dishonest cover story to the repeated tortuous administration/liquidation stories about interested groups ignored - the outright immoral fleecing of Omar Khan (didn't you vote for that and take a share of the money, Daddy Cool?). One group openly accusing Rimmer of lying. I'm sure many on here who've followed this could add a few more incidents. Even the manner in which Steve McNamara applied and was interviewed for the England job while still contracted to the Bulls, thereby precipitating the collapse of our season.

As stated in Totalrl the affair requires an independent enquiry. I think we should support that on this board. I agree with their inference re: Duffy and to be honest I'll struggle to support the club until this mess is investigated and the findings published. In conclusion, it looks corrupt.

Surely the new owners can just carry on with Chalmers' plans for a boutique stadium?

They must have been quite far down the road as he was confident of us getting in it after 2 years at Dewsbury.
