I like Bradford Bulls, the proper one, the one with all of the history. The one that no longer exists.
This new club is an embarrassment, they have taken the long suffering fans for guilible suckers again and again. Their actions have been well below the standards you'd expect of even a barely competent amateur club. Chalmers has consistently acted like a petulant toddler who blames everyone else for his own actions
I know what you mean about Craig Chalmers, he reminds me slightly of our owner Derek Beaumont. But I feel sorry for Bradford Bulls fans, (like I do with Bury & Bolton football clubs). It's like the RFL are insistent that they return to Odsal after 2020. Why (apart from the obvious) should this matter with the RFL. 3 years ago Widnes were given the green light to re-locate to another part of the country, when their CEO Steve Rule approached them about the idea. though thankfully for all Widnesians, this never materialised.Let Bradford play in Dewsbury, with NO punishment, and let's see how they fare. There is no way Bradford will do a Swinton or Oldham, and not play in their 'home town' for about 30 years is there ? As for my club Leigh, I'm amazed we can afford to play at the LSV. But then again (Wigan/Leigh Council) take all the proceeds from food & drink sales, and also 10% of all match tickets sales. So while we averaging over 3200, I guess it's worth their while to have us using the stadium. BUT if we were in League 1, with gates of around 1400, we also could find ourselves with feeling that we need to 'play elsewhere'. Even if you think 'the club' Bradford Bulls deserve the current situation they are in, personally I think it stinks. Are they being helped by the 'governing body' of our sport, not from where I am sitting (right now) they are not !
