Now is not the time for "I told you so's" from anyone.

What is it the time for Bullseye? I'm not having a pop at you but this board has been used to silence any counter point to the nonsense coming out of Odsal for years and it needs to be said. We've been lied to and when we've pointed it out we've hectored and lectured at length. Not by you, I might add.

I wonder if the players are donating some of their wages? That would also be a massive help.

Good luck. we need Bradford in Superleague.

I hope your club raises the cash to survive as IMO would be tragic for such a big club with big history as Bradford not to be around.

Good luck!!!

From reading hoods statement I just feel something don't ring true with what he says. I'm not sure of the whole situation but I get the feeling he's told lies to fans in the past and don't seem very honest

So don't you BLOODY WELL DARE come on here now tellling people you told them so. You did no such thing.

You derided those who actually knew a bit more about it than you did.

Learn to read Adey FFS. I never said anything about finances. I simply said that I have got it in the neck for suggesting that Mr Hood is a fraud and somewhat "flexible with the truth" for ages now.

It appears that I was not too far from the truth about him now then doesn't it?

Or are you denying that I ever said anything against Mr Hood in the past?

just pulled this off the HMRC website.. Maybe thats why they are asking for donations.

A freely given donation for which nothing is given in return is non-business income and is outside the scope of VAT

Rugby league doesn't have enough fans as it is..

Genuinely gutted.

So this £100 pledge helps raise £1/2m, where does the other £1/2m we need come from?

Hope you get out of this mess, however throwing money at Peter Hood can not be the way out.

Peter Hood says if the club raises the amount needed, then the long term future of the club is secure, yet where is the proof. The best thing for the Bulls IMO is administration, followed by some kind of fan buyout.

Do you have an indepedent supporters group??

If so surely you need to hastily arrange a meeting or forum and ask the club to come along and try and get some truthful answers, also someone like robbie paul whos a massive icon at the club would be good to get involved giving you a figurehead to potential sponsors and generate money, robbie asking fans to save the club would give you a lot more chance imo

Im the secretary of Leighs Independant supporters ass and we have been in trouble and only just managed to save ourselves we are paying the Vat back from last year via the rfl s money from this year, so we rallyied together as a club and we are making a go of it things still are tough and hopefully we will pull through it stronger, it means this year we had to go with less players give the younger lads a chance and also ask players to play for less for their home town team.
LISA thats our independant supporter name have given the club so far this season £20000 and we have 400 members all giving at least £5 a month.

We also run the coaches to away games which makes money for us to donate at the end of the season, we do a forecast comp every week, we have poker nights etc , this plus a very good lottery which we run jointly with lancashire cricket club and then we have a touchdown club which has a season ticket include in your membership.

Good luck to you hope you pull through
