Permit me if you will to put my Chris Smith hat on but has anyone else noticed the heightened off-field activity from our main rivals Leigh and Featherstone? Apart from pre-season video snippets we seem to be lagging behind in this regard in what is THE most important springboard season for a long time. We have a marketing guy heading the club but it all seems a bit flat. Far be it from me to criticise the club but I just feel we're missing a trick. I know that Simmons has been to the Sydney Roosters on a fact finding mission but what else is in the pipeline? Apart from the obvious on-field requirements we need a visibly pro-active back office to prepare for a SL launch if we really are serious. Or am I being too unkind?

My normal size hat won't fit your head LR, however I do have some golf club protectors you can borrow.....
I do hope we bump into one another on Sunday in The South Stand.... Be great to chat. I'll certainly look out for you.

I'll be on someone's shoulders Chris. Come and topple me off.

Do you know what I think I will.....

I havent been on this site for a while, but when did you two split up and get divorced? Also, who got the house/tv/dog/ant farm/etc ?

Glad im not one of your kids

This where my concerns arise from Rich.

Compared to Leigh and Fev we appear a bit low budget now, in all areas, squad, marketing etc.

Alex and TA were all over twitter before the new year but now, nothing. We do appear to be losing ground although I'm sure, behind the scenes, we're not.

As licencing proved though - image is everything

I like Chris Smith, I like Littlrich?
So what's the answer?
FIIIIGHT.

Good Morning Fax Fans!

Thought I would spend a minute to bring you lovely people up to date.

Alex and co have been massively busy bringing more sponsors than we have ever had before. This allows us to build on a very solid foundation for the rest of the great events we have lined up.

This year you will see more videos, more social interaction, growing on-pitch entertainment before the games plus reactions from the coaching team for everyone to see after the games.

The information we have got from the Sydney Roosters has been fantastic but it has taken some time to put things into place.

Kind Regards

Mr Fax

Appreciate the response Mr Fax. Certainly looking forward to watching some RL again that's for sure!

Hope they're not waiting for the Sunny weather?

Saw something on Twitter about an Alex Simmons getting a job at Bradford, something along the lines of announcing, is that the same guy?

Don't twitter don't tweet, so I have no idea.
Perhaps if you look again the answer might be there.
Let us know, mind you Charlie might know.

Indeed.......

“@Bobthefishwilki: A big big plus for @BradfordBullsRL with @alexsimmonsdj & @tyreDJ as match day announcers.

Well, that didn't last long!!

Thought someone in charge of marketing would have to be at club on march days to look after sponsors? Looks like he's a bud of TA too....

Alex is at Halifax 90% of the time. He will help with the announcing on match days if we are not playing.

Alex is at the helm this Sunday for us while Mr Emmett if on Everton duty.

He got his trip to aus sorted though didn't he?

He talks a good show, but quite what he brings I'm unsure. But like with anyone I'm prepared to give him time, I don't think there's a "jobs for the boys" culture at fax so someone has made the decision to bring him in.

Disappointing if he isn't going to be at fax games because he's working at the bulls.

Read my post Brew. His priority is us then them for match days only.

Speaking of off field activity? When is the membership scheme been launched?

Personally, I'm looking forward to the on field stuff starting, We've had a strange off season with The Shay saga ect, lets get back to talking about rugby

Spoke to Alex, this will be very soon - apparently some more firms have signed up to the scheme recently.

A great career move for him, there won't be many names to read outat Bradford before long ahahahahahaha

Charlie tries to keep his ear to the ground in most things , there is a rumour that Big Karl got rid of Penky at Fax

only a rumour as we all know Penky wanted to sign off his career at the LSV , and his hometown club .Cant wait for the new season , good luck to my Fax friends .
