Club in admin again!

www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/pos ... e-chairman Quote BRADFORD Bulls can regrettably announce the club has been put into administration. “I have been talking to a number of serious investors and purely the pressure from HMRC has forced the club to be put into this position to save its future,” explained Chairman Marc Green. “There is a dispute between ourselves and HMRC which we have been working hard to resolve since the winding up petition was issued and despite two adjournments from the courts to resolve this matter we have been unable to do so. We were concerned over the ability to secure a third adjournment and therefore this action became unavoidable to protect the club. “I will be working closely with the Administrators over the coming weeks and it is my intention to regain this club from them within the shortest practicable time frame.” He further stated: “Regardless of whether I remain at the helm of this great club, I will ensure all memberships already purchased for next season will remain valid, as will the offer under which they were purchased. I believe the future of Bradford Bulls is still strong.” No further comment will be made at this time.'"

What a shambles.

Thought this might happen

Bollocks.

Green clearly isn't the man to take the club forward but as usual there isn't anyone around with the willingness and money to do the job.

Points deduction anyone?

Hadn't got around to buying my season ticket. Hope those that have got theirs on VISA.

Mine is on a VISA, thankfully.

Green is starting to look stupid now!!!

Jokers.

From Caisley(Harris contract shambles)right up to the present set,the supporters have been sold down the river.When the fans should have been watching,the Burgess boys/Bateman/Whitehead et al,they are served up lower division stuff where the hope is that the team MAY make the top four if they are lucky.
What depressing times these are.
Oh and England just weren't good enough.Full stop.

Why did Green persist when it seemed obvious to all that it was time to sell up at the end of the season?

Time to pull the plug?

I know I've had enough now.

Put the dog down.

" the future of Bradford Bulls is still strong "
I hope you're all rushing to the club shop to renew the family season pass on the strength of that statement.
Is he for real ?

Where is the money? Who are the investors? We've had years of trying to find anyone in Bradford or the whole world with the inclination to put in more than 27p and we've failed.

I find it truly baffling that village teams in Wigan get millionaire backing and we can find literally no one, but it isn't going to change and we are totally fked.

Unfortunately he is.

Accounts are months overdue, the annual return/confirmation statement is months overdue.
A charge was raised by Mr Green on the day a winding up order was served on the club.
It's been on the cards for months.

I hope people don't lose out on season ticket money, and Green's comments about taking the club out the otherside is laughable. I for one and I'm sure many others do not trust the way the club has been run for years and he has not been a change from those who failed before. If Green takes the club out the other side of this admin then history will repeat itself once again.

It was only a few weeks ago that all tax was to be paid, we are ok, come and buy your season tickets was the line from the club. I hope not many fell for it.

do you own odsal at the moment?

should you approach the council for help for a more modern ground, or should this have been done many years ago

This is the guy who promised much, talked about supporter engagement and over the past year has done bugger all, ignored the supporter engagement and brought us to this point. Personally I hope he doesn't buy us out, he had his chance and like the rest has blown it.

I'm not sure who there is out there but could the fans ever trust him again?

What a shame when it looked like we had a fresh, young squad and a promising coach. Not to mention our academy team's efforts last season.

All completely ruined now.

No



Welcome to every year from 1985 to the present date.

No we don't own the ground. Council no help re getting a new ground. Been tried umpteen times for years.

I know. Bitterly disappointing especially as there was so much optimism in the room last week with over 200 people at the BullBuilder quiz.

We need a new owner, someone that people can trust.

Christ knows where they're coming from.

Really it is time to let it go. Without an owner with bags of money the club just can't function for any length of time and history will keep repeating. We weren't even profitable in the golden years of Super League. End it and everyone can move on.

It is what it is and it'll be what it'll be. Third time round I'm pretty much past caring. I hope we survive, I hope we pull in investors or a new owner. I do. But it's not even 'news' anymore and I'm beyond worrying now. I wasn't getting a full membership this year anyway due to work but I probably won't even bother with the flexi membership now. I was going to go up over the weekend to sort it out too. Glad I didn't.

I actually feel bad typing that but it is genuinely how I feel. I want us to survive but the apathy has completely set in now.

(EDIT: I can't spell

)

Wonder how long it will take some clown from the press suggesting the fans take over......

Enter Rod Studd...

I was waiting until the end of the month to buy a membership and from a selfish point of view I am glad a have. God only knows what 2017 will look like for us now... if at all.

Yes, let's - nobody will be interested so maybe if we can raise 500k or so, that will win the bid.

I would be glad to pack in my job and work for nowt full time for the fans committee and I know many of you would be willing to chip in twenty five grand apiece for the privilege of being able to work for nothing

Indeed why don't we all go the whole hog, sell our houses and doss in the Coral Stand?
