Unfortunately some genius decided to list Richard Dunnes so, whilst that is probably the most viable solution, it’s a non-starter.
The Bulls personally bring nothing to secure against so we are reliant on the charity of volunteers. Hats off to them for the amazing efforts in turning up and repainting etc but nobody will be building a stadium for us for free so unless something changes and we start bringing our own capital to the table we will remain in limbo

Council are confident in overturning Dunnies listed status.

Good. Some people may like that sort of thing, but re-labelling 60s and 70s concrete horrors as "Brutalist" doesn't suddenly make them worth saving in my opinion.

I noticed in the T&A that someone tried to set Dunn's alight recently but the fire was put out fairly quickly. Seems inevitable that something like that will happen again. With the Fire Brigade Union about to go on strike if Dunn's was to go up again during that it might be the end of the place.

Right then, the next time the Fire Brigade are on strike I expect to see you and Pumpetypump heading up to the Richard Dunn with a petrol can and a box of Swan Vesta's.
