What a load of bollox that is. Total cobblers.
NEW PENS?????? You think they are made of money???? That would pay for a pair of socks for an academy lad. What CAN you have been thinking? They go "borrow" all their pens from Argos, silly!

Communication is surely a two-way thing, so in addition to this I demand the right to veto any decision they make.

I'll be asking both these questions yes, one on behalf of a forum member who can't make it. Why what's wrong with them>?
After a third consecutive dismal year in which the onfield performances have no pride, passion, motivation or heart, and given that the key to a successful business is attracting and keeping customers through offering them a product that they want, enjoy and embrace, what are you going to do to attract the disconcerted supporters who are currently season pass holders but are unlikely to renew next year?
If it is a fact that the cost of staying at Odsal Stadium is not financially viable and we must leave, can you confirm or state where the Bradford Bulls are likely to be based and how you will market that change to the fans on this occassion?

Ryan gave a cracking example yesterday: If 100 fans gave up a Saturday in the off season, imagine how much maintenance could be completed - cleaning, painting, etc etc - jobs the club would normally pay for.

That highlighted bit is more statement than a question. The rest is more answerable. I do so wish folk would try and help the club answer by not trying to first force them to respond to subjective statements - just ask them the simple question without embellishment!
Although if someone has not written in with that question (I didn't, cos I assumed everyone else would) I'd be very surprised.

A friend help me narrow it down from this
After another dismal year in which the onfield performances have matched the players, which have once again showed no pride, no passion, no motivation and no heart, just what are you going to do to change the mind of the disconcerted supporters who are currently season pass holders but are not going to renew next year.
Because as with any business, the key to success is attracting and keeping customers through offering them a product that they want and love (Watching a side giving 100% effort and showing the pride, passion and the heart and motivation of wanting to put on and wear the famous red, amber and black).
Instead of Ryan Ducket coming out in the T&A and blaming the customers for no longer having an interest in the product (the stay away supporters), do you not feel that you should be trying to offer your customers incentives to watch?
If you are then what incentives are you offering fans to return or renew for next season?
If someone asks it I'll just ask the last one instead.

Mick, from reading the newspaper reports of the time, I'm pretty sure that when the Bulls got a new lease, after the sojourn at VP, the club received some monies as compensation for what would have been received under the terms of old lease.
I'm also pretty sure, maybe 95% sure, that part of the deal included something about that money being repaid if we didn't play something like 80% (?) of our games at Odsal. As that money was spent during the reign of the old management (you may remember how we all gloried in what was bought with it) I don't think paying it back is an option. So unless another new lease is forthcoming (aka the sports village) there is trouble ahead.
OK lads, tea break over, back on your heads
