Pretty much what I expected to be honest, couldn't go as I didn't finish work till 8 but the key thing is going to be income & stability. Seems we are slowly getting there, if we can retain even the current gates of 5-6 thousand I believe we will be ok moving forward. Squad is coming together, there gonna be departures but on the whole not that bad.
On another subject why are people obsessed with Ainscough been resigned, I appreciate he was passionate and was quick but that was essentially it for his game. All our current wingers offer more IMO. Maybe it's just me.

Well I didn’t go last night. From reading on here and on social media it sounds like it was very well attended. I remember the club doing a “re-launch” of the lottery at Norfolk Gardens back in the early 2000s. That was billed as a massive announcement and pulled in good numbers too. Was anyone at that who can compare numbers?

At that one Caisley went on about how success needn’t be cyclical provided income was coming in and that Alf Davies had been brought on board to revamp the lottery and make it as good as the Leeds version. Alf then went on and compared the Leeds scheme with the previous Bulls scheme which was pants. Did he do this again last night? Sounds a bit like a repeat of an old theme.

At least last night people got to hear from Marc Green. I doubt there’d be much to say about long term plans given that it wasn’t a Q&A (was it?). The club threw in the news about re-signings and fans had a chance to chat to players which was good, even if many are on their way at the end of the season.

I’m pleased to see Charlie Ebbage honoured. Charlie’s a great man who was a close friend of Trevor Foster and has done a multitude of things for the club over the past 60 years.

One thing that does come over is that there still seems to be a heck of a lot of enthusiastic supporters. This is very good indeed considering all we’ve been through. I hope the club continue to build on this and follow through on the fine words we’ve heard. There seems to be lot of optimism around. Personally I’ll wait and see how the squad shapes up in the next few months before I get myself too excited.

I think the board, through no fault of their own, have a lot to contend with on the public confidence front, due entirely to the shortcomings of some previous people in charge. Green is no sugar daddy though, so he's spot on to talk about getting the finances right and building the business - whether we like to hear people referring to the club as a business or not, it is the only sustainable way forward, so it's good to hear he's going to take the Bulls by the horns, if you'll pardon my pun.

Thought the evening was well put together. Plenty of laughs and Marc Green came across well. I was amazed by the turnout, didn't expect nearly that many people there.

Not sure of what he meant either, as a seminar talking about the restructure of our club, it ticked the boxes!
Sure it was about selling a facet of the club that had been sadly lacking for the last 3 or 4 years. And don't forget for those that carried on with the last convoluted lottery, they upped it to £2 per week with naff rewards for the winners, at least the Bulls have now brought it down to a £1 per week, with good rewards for punters once again.

Do you remember what Alf Davies said it was bringing in pre the unpleasantness??? 16,000 members he said..if they can achieve even the target figure he talked about 2,500 wasn't it? I think we will become one of the most successful championship clubs in the second tier?

I was well impressed and I know Charlie was, rightly so he regained his status with the Bulls once again.

There were other problems too, at the same time as putting the price up they changed the bank which was collecting the standing orders, which resulted in money being returned and contributors having to re-set up their orders. I only found out when I called in to question it, but I expect many didn't even realise their money wasn't going in. It descended into a bit of a shambles, to be honest.
