But there is more to our club than just one man - I go week in week out to support the Bradford Bulls, not the chairman.

Yes, it's important who is in charge of the club, especially at present. I would much prefer we get the additional funding required then the BoD can sort out their power struggles and give the fans the answers they want. And I'm certainly no Caisley fan. As a previous poster said I have the feeling of dread back that was there a couple of weeks ago. All part of being on the Bradford Bulls rollercoaster I suppose.

But stop supporting my club because of who is in charge? Not a chance.

Then, having said they wouldn't take our money unless they did know, they have cemented their already considerable reputation as lying liars who lie.

I read it. Unlike some mugs I do not believe everything that is said / reported. You believe it if you need to.

That could be the case. Pure speculation but well possible - maybe there was a possibility of a deal with someone, who will no longer play as the board he is dealing with are likely to be removed at an EGM in a month? I'd guess that trying to persuade people to invest sizeable money when you're on borrowed time yourself may be less than easy.

Certainly though the intervention by Caisley, and the EGM elephant in the room, did arise [ibefore[/i they took our money. I can't find the original statement. The only one I can find is the FAQ on the Bulls site which states:
"=#FF0000Do not send us any money at this stage. When we make the £500 000 target you will be required to make payment immediately. You will be able to make your payment via the phone, online, at the ticket office or by cheque.

What if we don't reach our target of £500,000?

We will not ask you for any money. "

There is a quote on one of these threads (not sure where, I've read so many) that it would be good to see Hood & Caisley work together for the sake of the club, but it's highly unlikely, if not impossible.

I think the whole board of directors need to have a good long hard look at what the supporters of this great club have done, and take their lead from them. 500k in 10 days from people from a city that isn't on the up, and the wider RL community, working together. Ordinary people giving what they can, even when they can't afford it, because they love this club.

And there's a lad who is going to walk from Whitley Bay to Bradford to save his favourite club - that's dedication. It's a shame that the board can't show this too by coming together to sort this mess out, regardless of who's fault it is, and then have their power struggles afterwards.

I've had enough of this. I want to go back to moaning about what's happening on the field instead of off of it. Rant over.

Completely summed up what i have been thinking. The BOD's and shareholders really need to come together for the good of the club. Pride is not always a good thing!
