  Just to clear things up. We are a 4 Bradford Bulls supporters who are interested in purchasing the club. We are aware that as fans there is very little information coming out.
  
  Odsal stadium in its present form comes up to standard for SL Rugby & meets the minimum standards set out by the Football league.
  
  We have no interest in moving the club to Valley Parade but would be positive to incorporate Bradford City at Odsal Stadium in the future should they so wish.
  
  We have advised the administrator that is our preference that all Bradford players that have come through the club as home grown players stay with the club. We are interested in purchasing the club on that basis and the basis no home grown player is sold.
  
  We have submitted our business plan for Bradford Bulls holdings based on being tenants to the RFL and a totally a different business plan has also been submitted should we be able to buy the lease back from the RFL. This includes a new board of directors with certain ex Bradford Bulls / Northern players.
  
  Should the RFL sell the lease back to us, if we are successful with the bid we have submitted. The first thing that will be done is phase 1 of improvements to the ground, these would include, cover the popular side, new terracing and safety barriers put in place, demolition of the aging touchdown facility. We already have architects drawings of the structures we would like in place and have had discussions with Bradford Council who have been very positive of said plans.
  Phase 2 of ground improvements would incorporate new structures to be able to hold concerts and music festivals at the ground that would attract world class performers with a capacity in excess on 50,000 when taking into account the use of the covered pitch. This in turn would generate much needed additional funds that would be allocated to the business. And invested in playing talent and the business structure.
  We have again held talks with music executives and the Warrington owner who has indicated Odsal would be a viable option for such events with its excellent transport links.
  We have held prelimary talks with Blake Solly Andrew Whiteham of Super league and I believe they have been impressed with how detailed the offer is.
  
  We believe that we can turn the Bradford bulls fortunes around and lead it into a profit making business with Rugby league the core prospect with Local home grown talent being fundamental to the clubs on the field success.

  This sounds so good. Please be successful - you'll have the backing of all Bulls fans. Good luck Wally Lewis!

  Of course it sounds so good, its what you want to hear.
  Ask yourself why someone who's bidding for a club is spending time on a newspaper forum.

  If for once I seem to be agreeing with you...just forget it, it's a blip!!
  However it does somewhat concern me that our friend Wally, is giving all this information to a group that are like minded and do care deeply for our club!
  Plustheir hopes and aspirations would be once again severley damaged if this was indeed not to be credible, and Wally Lewis was like the last time we heard he was coming, and he never did, if people can remember that far back.
  
  I think if Wally was to give his name to an appropriate article in the official T&A, 1) It would be printed straight away.
  2) We the supporters would feel considerably more at ease with everything that you said.
  
  Is this a possiblity Wally?
  
  PS There is no doubt that a lot of what Wally says is and has come true.
  Excepting the finality of seeing Andrew Whiteham in a position of authority once more???"
