Ive pledged. I could not bare my club going under. The late great Trevor Foster would be turning in his grave. Lets not let his efforts go to waste.

The club have given me as much reassurance as they possibly can. If i pledge and we don't make the target i lose nothing, if we do make the target, my pledge has come in use. They have also stated we will be DEBT FREE.

Going into administration has to be the last resort. Do this and we lose Bateman, Whitehead, Crookes, Kearney, L'estrange, for next to nothing, even then they is no guarantee we would survive as we would need a buyer!!!

If you don't make the Leeds game all ticket, then have donation boxes to help the club. yes it is humiliaiting but will we care if we're still playing.

COYB!!!!!

ive pledged,£100 is not too much to pay when i think of all the entertainment they have given me and my family over the last 40 years or so and yes i include the heartache of last few years as well.i would rather stump up a few quid to keep watching top level rugby league in bradford than lose it.although i will struggle to pay it i feel i have to for the club to carry on.

If anybody else would be willing to do it, how about a run (at your own pace) instead of a walk with a couple of cars going along playing RUN WITH THE BULLS as loud as possible. Either Red Hall or another destination. In Bulls full kit, dress the cars up with flags and banners.

Not sure how many fans are on RL forums but if everyone pledged a pound ? could it be a start; post it on every site ?

Really don't know what to say

It seems amazing to me that anyone is prepared to gift cash to a failed management team unless it were to be done as a new share issue - then all those helping in the bail-out would have a real stake in the club and a mechanism to hold the directors to account.
Don't do it that way and all you've done is reward incompetence - and that never works!
Desperate situation for such a high profile club, I do sympathise with all you Bulls fans

i think it is more important to keep the club going just now.if they manage to survive then im sure it will be dealt with by those with the power to do such things,or the money, but at the moment im prepared to risk £100 to keep my club going.

I've pledged that's 400 quid from our house.

After listening to Radio Leeds I'm more confident that we'll do it and TBH I don't want this to be the end of the club.

The way I'm looking at it is that 175 (it was 75 quid this year wasn't it?) for a season ticket is better than spending 75 quid on a useless plastic card.

Re: Peter Hood says Bulls on brink of going bust. : Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:12 pm  

The way i feel now i would pay £100 to help us survive if it was guaranteed, which is basically what the pledge is!

£100 promise to give us a chance, a no brainer to me

Cannot believe the news that such a great club such as yours is in trouble.

You embraced superleague like no other, and was held up as the way forward.

Hope you sort it out and get back on track.
