Adey - will Bullbuilder be getting involved? or you inparticular? you have wealth of knowledge which will be too valuable for words in this current situation.

I wonder if some of your vocal detractors on here will show up?

time to for the Bulls fanbase to act as one, time for petty squabbles and arguments later

To be honest I find the timing a to be a bit early. If we go through the admin period and then are liquidated and still no-one comes in with a bid, then there is a useful role for a specially organised fans' group to work specifically on setting up a new club. At that point the objectives would be totally clear and there would be some flag to rally round.

I really can't see what purpose it is going to serve right now. I don't doubt the sincerity of the people involved though and hope it remains constructive.

I think it has been pointed out a length on several threads how long it can take to set up and organise any sort of formal body - so cannot hurt to at least see if there is sufficient interest now. Whatever does emerge from the ashes it will need the supporters behind it and the better orgainsed they are the better.

But like Bullpower2012 I was wondering if Bullbuilder would be at the meeting as they are already a fully constituted Bulls supporters group - who knows they might even pick up some more members?

As a member of the BullBuilder board, I'll be there - work permitting - in an indivdual capacity.

There has been no invitation or other direct communication between the organisers of this event and the BullBuilder board, but as far as I can see, individual fans are welcome, so I'll attend on that basis.

Re: Fans Meeting Monday : Fri Jun 29, 2012 2:14 pm  

This.

Although I have such heavy work commitments for the next two months (as well as tonight being the financial year end) that the chances of me being able to attend are not good.

Has anybody heard anything from last nights hastily organised RFL meeting with the Super League Clubs yet?

I did mention this on the firm's website.. they said they'd try and get someone from bullbuilder there.. latest reports are that it is understood that the joint administrator Brendan Guilfoyle will also be at the meeting.

In fact, I've just been informed that our chairman did receive an invitation. There was just nothing the last time I'd checked.

As I mentioned, I was going to try to attend anyway.

What is The Firm?

Re: Fans Meeting Monday : Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:01 pm  

Firstly, well done to the organisers of the Guide Post meet. Whether it is productive or not it will be a rally for those of us who currently feel disillusioned and impotent. We want to do something to help but dont know what.

I shall be there but have reservations atm for what's going to happen.

What is the purpose of the meeting? What are it's objectives and what will it seek to achieve?
What is the agenda, and who will run the meeting so that it sticks to it's objectives - otherwise it could degenerate into a mob shouting match.

"Bull Builder" is the Bradford Bulls Supporters Trust with all legal admin and structure in place so priorities should not include setting up another Trust.
Perhaps Bull Builder have been remiss in not organising a similar meeting, but they clearly need to be invited now to help this meeting.
