Bulls also announced The Aspire Group, which is to build a £45 million development of more than 700 apartments on Manchester Road, as another of its shirt sponsors – joining fast-food chain Rajas and Sovereign Healthcare.

Ben Pilgrim, of the firm, said it had signed a one-season deal, for an undisclosed amount, which would also see it build a new club shop at the stadium with a show apartment for its development on the first floor.

He said: “It’s a unique deal. We hope to build a long-term relationship.”

From T&A

The past is the past. We're moving in the right direction and the new club owners are doing everything right IMO so far.

There was a time I really needed to know where all the cash had gone and who was responsible for the mal-administration of the company driven to the brink of extinction.
It seemed important then but not so now. Any recriminations I now see as counter productive.
Whatever mistakes were made (and they are legion) are not beng replicated now.

10 weeks on from a 3 hour deadline to oblivion we still have a club and security in a future.
There is a confidance that eminates from OK and his team that is infectious and their business acumen
has already far surpassed all prevous incumbents.

Is the club in good hands? Well we will have to see if OK has an endgame.

Making full use of the club's assets, reaching out to, and involving the fans - all good common sense and not exactly rocket science - certainly stands in very stark contrast to the "efforts" of previous owners/managers

I wouldn't be surprised to see Fazal Hussain MBE come on board in the future, a fella who has worked tirelessly to improve community relations in Bradford.

Dang!

I can't believe the amount of "good news" coming out of the club. Long may it continue. Certainly make a welcome change from the dark times throught the last month of last season.

I still like the sound of a mates idea for a marketing campaign under the heading "The Gunfight at (in) The OK Coral (stand)"

Re Edited for commercial accuracy!

I thank you . . .

Within the T&A article today about using the stadium for concerts, it mentioned the new club shop will be open tomorrow.

Does anyone know any further details about this?

Would be nice to have a look around and see some of the new merchandise

I think a time of 11 0'clock on Saturday was mentioned, though that might have just been the time when we can order the new shirt.

Says its "a new club shop in the Coral Stand " so I dont think its the one referred to earlier in the thread.

I emailed the Bulls asking the opening hours just the other day and was told it's going to be a temporary shop in the Coral Stand.

Is there a rough delivery date of the pre-ordered shirts for next season?

Think they've said preorders will be delivered in time for Xmas.

Correct but limited number of shirts

any news on the online club shop yet?

Website says it's a 'temporary' site and will have a proper one ready in time for 2013 season, so I'd guess the on-line shop will be tied in with that.

Pretty certain I've seen it mentioned that the Online shop is gonna be up and running from next Friday.

That is correct.

Prepare to amazed by all the new product lines.

It makes sense to get it up and running asap, let's hope they do.
