Bradford Bulls fans hold crisis meeting (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

1. Is it at the Coral Stand? The Firm page on FB also stated Guide Post. Please only reply if you know for definate.
.
2. The Bulls Consortium idea is the way to go. It has been posted in The Firm page on FB.

It is the Guidepost Hotel as the Coral Stand was withdrawn 'due to a change in circumstances'?

Going, Going, ????
Sad

Some constructive comments for the fans meeting (I hope to make it)

- You must have an agenda or it will be a free for all
- You must have a chair/speaker to control – this person MUST dominate the meeting to ensure it progresses
- You must have guidelines about speaking/comments from the floor
- Has the RFL been invited
- Has the Bulls players/staff being invited – its their livelihood and they have a vested interest
- Has Bullbuilder been contacted/involved
- What are the aims

The meeting has to be positive and look at the future, not the past. The blame game cannot be played until later, an outpouring of grief (!) is no use nor ornament at this time – pull the fans together, speak as one, be positive. LONG LIVE THE BULLS

Good post by Steam Pigs! I hope to be there, when / where is it?

Guide Post Hotel, Monday at 7pm. We have a chair person and an agenda etc. We've tried to invite everyone we can including players etc. Hopefully uit will be a success! :)

Hats off to all the organisers of this meeting - is it worth sharing even a draft agenda now so people can give some thoughts over the weekend and add valued comment from the outset on Monday night?

Good luck, I do hope the meeting is productive however the only option on the table is long term funding to sustain the club; so if fans getting together can attract this then brilliant. If the purpose is to ask fans to dip into their own pockets again well sorry I certainly won't be; as I say all the best

I cant be there to add my opinion, lets hope my viking friend is in attendance as what he does not know is not worth knowing, too many people whine what should be done but ask them to strike a bat and contribute and the mute button on. Will anyone ask the future of the scholarship which is rumoured to be scrapped to save cash ? And the next generation is coming from ?

Don't forget to ask when Fax will be instated into the Super League if the RFL are there.

No, not in the slightest! There is more chance of Eddie Tees and Denis Trotter coming in with thire personal millions earned from Bradford Northern to save the club than that shower of sh!te EVER getting in to Super League.
See you Monday!

Shame the club is not run on hot air or they would be richest club about judging by amount of hot air some posters have.

Seems some fans think Bulls are bigger than they actually are. They could learn a thing or two from the smaller teams who live within their means.

Is this the same fax that struggled to sell any tickets for their cup game against the Bulls last year.Never have been fit for the purpose of super league, never will be.

Personally I couldn't give a toss about Fax. It's just embarassing seeing some on here thinking the bulls have a god given right to a spot in super league even though they can't keep their own house in order.

The Cougars have had more success in the last few years off income streams of next to nothing, where as Bradford have had zero success whilst spending a rumoured £260k per month in salaries.

Instead of ridiculing other teams maybe you should be tearing the people who have been running the Bulls a new A hole.

It wouldn't suprise me if half the pledge money was used to repay directors loans before they all resigned.

I think you should all remember fhat if the worst happens and the Bulls do go into liquidation we might need the help of some of these other clubs you are all putting down!

I can't make it on Monday, but a plea to all those who can. Don't waste this meeting looking for who to blame. We are where we are and the only discussions that will help the club are those that look forward not back.

Well done those who have organised this at short notice.

I might have wander down to see what's said.

Not sure what you mean by this post especially the bit about people 'whingeing and when you ask them to strike a bat and contribute the mute button is on', the only mute thing is you and your comments which are always negative dull and boring. Many of us fans have contributed in many ways and most of us by digging deep into our pockets and errr why should we do it again!! The only thing most of the forum has whinged about is the fact that the Bulls are in the situation they are in and about those responsible which I think is completely justified so as to your line 'and where is the next generation coming from' not Bradford that's for sure unless you win £26m on the Euro tonight and who is at fault for that; whoops better not say as I will be whingeing again!!

Don't believe you advised or invited Bullbuilder, the already-established supporters' trust?

In house fighting - Brilliant.
Just what the clubs need in your hour of need.

This is what's been happening for years, It's why the club is where it is and it's not likely to end either. Bickering and backbiting from the top down has conributed heavily to or current situaton and the latest spats between the Hood/Caisley camps have been little short ofdisgraceful. If only someone at the Bulls would just put the club FIRST for a change...

My earlier point is people on here giving it big time but mute button will be on when meeting starts, all not say a thing but maybe whine about board under their breath.

Hope it all goes constructively. Please have an open mind, contracts willing, to move down to Valley Parade. Cuts cost in half at least, ground staff back room staff etc. etc. It could be the only way.

Unfortunately Dennis Trotter is no longer with us: Not sure about Eddie Tees.

It's now getting totally undignified by those who wish to score Brownie points.
Let's have some constructive thought processes.

There can only be one real agenda!!

How can we get out of this Mess!

The best way is for all attendees to put some constructive thoughts on paper to be handed to the chair:

(Like they do on question time!)

Would then suggest the chair correlates the most likely, and asks Brendan Guilfoyle to suggest some solutions.

We do not need to ask how we got in the Mess we are in!
That only is relevant at a post mortem, and we know how the patient is when it gets to that!

We want remedies and PDQ!
(pretty dam quick)

See you there!
