It might have been a chaotic week but the leader of the consortium should be able to deliver a consistent message! Some of the statements in those interviews are so far apart they're nearly meeting on the way back......

Re: Bulls Takeover : Sun Oct 27, 2019 9:56 am  

Is Sandra Wood related to Nigel Wood?

Looking at that article it seems like the consensus that the RFL has acted inappropriately for several years has rattled Mark Sawyer's cage. He's come out punching with the "looking forward not back" argument, which is nice to hear, but neglects the fact that Bulls and their supporters have suffered for years in part due to a series of catastrophic decisions taken by the governing body. I don't think it is unreasonable for Bulls fans to be demanding answers. So sorry Sawyer but I'm not with you on that one chum.

Hi Guys. New to the board. Long time lurker.

Just want to see us have some stability and transparency, and unlitmately be back in Bradford. I feel that the new ownership structure gives rise to more questions than answers though. Is it more murky than ever, or is it just that we’ve been through this mill so many times that we’ve all developed serious trust issues?

Finally, how have Nestegg been able to continue on this blatant wind up mission? posting lots and lots of nothing, not a single verifiable fact that wasn’t already in the public domain? Is there no moderation here?

If you read my previous post about Sandy a few days ago you'll know that she's the wife of his brother.

We worked together for over a decade in the NHS and as I said in the previous post she has been a regular at Bradford Northern and Bradford Bulls fixtures since the early 80s.

Thanks for clearing up. No I didn't read the posts. There's that much on here it's difficult to keep up.

Your post sounds supportive of her appointment, though. Is that the case? What about the other fella?

I can support her based on my ten years plus working relationship with her and she is what I would say full of honesty and transparency.

I have no information on the other newly appointed director but I've set the spade off digging.

This may well be old news by now, but Sandra Wood is we understand either Nigel's sister, or Sister-in-law, and Mark Kilgallon is purported to be Mark Sawyer's cousin. But frankly who cares? More importantly it is becoming reasonably clear that Mark Sawyer is an extremely weak front man and that his statements and/or press interviews are become increasingly chaotic, contradictory and littered with falsehoods and/or evasiveness. We don't even need to add the customary eggy 'alleged' to the above assertion because our words are to all intents and purposes public knowledge and/or open public comment by some member(s) of the journalism community. Notwithstanding the above, and for the avoidance of doubt 'we' as always truly do wish the Wood/Sawyer consortium along with their emerging so called voluntary 'Board' the very best of luck. As for who currently owns the club's shares, well the jury is still out on that. At this time the official record is surely all that counts, and therefore for Bradford Bulls 2017 Limited as per the Companies House website the current cited shareholding is that Chalmers still owns 87.5% of the shares, and what we understand to be a close affiliate of AC's, Danielle Christoffersen, appears to have 12.5% of the shares c/o her interest in Orcas Rugby League (NZ) and her further affiliations c/o FourFourOne Investments Limited (NZ) - details below: https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/com ... es/1388503 https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/com ... reholdings

Have the Bulls always charged a booking fee for season ticket orders or has it been introduced by the new regime?
