If any of you are here I'm sat near the front on the left. I'm the only one in work clothes (shirt and tie) by the looks of it.

So at a time when SL teams do not run reserve sides or have academies a third tier team will have a reserve side and an expanded academy. If only we had a first team!!!

Theres a media briefing , getting it from twitter haha

Council own all 3 sites so cutting to one for a purpose built Community stadium and selling off the other 2, with added private investment ought to be surely feasible.

Do the council own Keighley's ground? WE could merge with them.

Shows what you know

Nice shirt and tie combo... I'm in front of you (front left with volunteer printed on back).

Tin hats at ready!!!

And I'm behind you!



Nice prompt start....

Anything happening apart from admiring one another's dress sense?

(In the end I didn't go... just couldn't face going and being let down again

)

Not even started yet.

Nope... not even started yet. Toovey and Stuart Duffy just waiting looking like they just want to get on with it. Apparently media briefing going on as it's all on twitter...

Chalmers giving a presentation. Starting off telling us about takeover. Very slow delivery. Might not be much time for questions.

Saw a video of him on radio leeds, don't think public speaking is his strongest asset.

“From 2020 we plan to alter our structure to include U16/U18 and U20 High performance teams, as well as a women’s U19 team”"

Season ticket prices to remain the same

I think the plan is to get in a strong position off the field, academies, reserves, women's teams etc and obtain a license like Widnes did. More and more noises some sort of licensing is coming back.

Anything worth cheering about yet?

Or is it all just blah blah blah....we're going to.......do this, that and the other.....we need your support....

They're just being realistic about the situation the club is in, not sure what some people expected tbh.

Bulls Twitter done a good job of relaying the pre prepared stuff, gone silent on the fan questions it seems.

My initial take away is that aiming for 3k season tickets is... Interesting. A new membership prospect to give people incentive. Hold on, have we gone back in time to three years ago...

The cynic in me says we have heard all this before. AC said all the right things but didn't all the others?

Selling 3k season tickets remains a challenging prospect in my opinion. The same price as last year to watch a part time, sorry, hybrid team play the likes of Oxford. Tempting?

Same price as last year - to watch a lesser team play in a lower division? wtf?
AC is a true businessman if he can sell this pot of shoite to us.
Has he seen how crap we play - why would anyone choose to buy a season ticket to watch that?
Have I missed something?

What we're you expecting... the guy to be tarred and feathered before being set alight???

The room was very tense before but his presentation, despite not being the most confident speaker seemed to be genuine. Yes heard it before but what do we do? We have to take his word and see what the outcome is.

A lot of sensible things tonight. Acceptance that many part time players are better than the full time ones we can afford/attract. Intention is to put the best team on the field regardless of employment status.

No promises to be promoted but clear timeliness in place as target. Interesting that he believes franchise will be back by 2021. Maybe that is the realistic shut out date for SL.

Glad he said what a few if us have know for months. Graham Lowe in NZ because he had a major heart op and now cannot fly long haul due to medication and health complications. Hope he doesn't become the first real fatality the club claims. It nearly took another employee about the same time but Stu is looking back on form.

Also, RFL and Bradford Council met today to start discussions about future of Odsal. AC believes ground not sustainable unless developed. That's aid he was only one not to bid on condition of the sale of ground. That to me says he knows he hasn't the funds to develop himself and would rather be a partner than the lead.

Overall, I'll take what was said with positive caution and start planning my routes to Bristol, Hemel and Coventry!!!

Good luck with that..........

Nah! - I save that for people who really feck me off
