Best of luck to Elliot. He always gave 100% and I’m absolutely gutted he’s had to go.



Really do feel quite numb about it all. I’ve know for last 3-4 week something like this was coming, just didn’t know where he was going. I know somethings I’ve put on here without been able to go into too much detail has hinted that. Gutted he’s no longer at the bulls and absolutely gutted his dream his over, and mine. Happy that his immediate future is sorted. But still absolutely gutted all this has had to happen

So there is a benefit from having him involved.

Unless they manage to get refunds. Surely there must be case for been mis-sold them when you consider the advertising slogan that was used to promote sales and whats happening now.

Betsy Bulls wrote:Whilst I appreciate the point all the comments regarding team is decimated are slightly inaccurate when you consider it was paid for and built on sand foundations. It’s not really a like for like comparison comparing. 2019 squad to what is likely to be on the field in 2020. It seems clear that the likes of Mini, Keyes etc would not have been retained if we had tried to live within our means so losing them is inevitable. We now seem to be spending what we generate and if attendances fall so does the budget .


But was it built on sand ? We've averaged around 4000 fans most weeks with 7500 for the last game and the two cup games with 10000 and 6000 respectively all paying higher prices than all the other clubs in this division.It's fair to say that the squad was too large but there were no superstars in it. The players we had were what you'd excpect a club with our fanbase paying those prices should be able to afford.
So what has happened to all that income ?

When Bradford born, raised and Bulls fans as kids are leaving like this (includes Peltier) - then it says it all for me.

Not prepared to go "oh well we need to rebuild" and all that ****

And I wonder if they are all with the same agent?

Hmmm who could that be I wonder :THINK: :THINK: :THINK:

Throughout this episode and previous there is never any mention of player welfare, man management, comms with the players, unpaid medical bills et al.

All pushed under the carpet.

So "we are dealing with creditors" turns out to be losing some of our best players (again). Jy Hitchcox no doubt will be off too.

This club gets a numerous and loyal following - more than is deserved.

For me - the fan base loyalty is exploited over and over.

But not by me any longer.


Well put.

We can just about get a team out with those signed up. We need dual reg. can’t see why anyone would sign permanently with us.

Plenty of players will be available, they won't all get deals so we can get amongst the negotiations.

THis is part of our problem. WE end up with 38 player squads and then never play half of them
