Anyone heard anything over the big anouncement?

Official site must be busy as i cant get on ?

They are just short of 480 grand. Extended pledge deadline until monday

They've done well to get so much, but don't they eventually need to get to a million? Can't help but think they'll struggle to get much more money.

I can't see why anyone would want to give their hard earned money to those idiots that got the club in the position it is in now. So sad to see players like Fielden and Peacock selling their memorabilia for it.

So far they have raised £480,000 and have until tomorrow to raise the other £20k.

Am I right in thinking that all this money goes to the creditors ie. bank?

Would it not be best to go bust and pledge to the debt free new order?

If Wigan were in a similar situation would you pledge some money? I personally wouldn't but at the same time can understand why people would.

I don't think it would ever happen with Lenegan in charge, however if it did I still don't think I would pledge any money, I'd rather see us fold and get new owners who know what they're doing than give my hard earned cash to someone who has failed to keep things running smoothly. Dnt Bradford stil have to raise another 500k if they make it to this 500k? It just seems never ending to me.

Yep. It's only a matter of time. This £500,000 is just to keep the administrators at bay, as they still owe another £500,000 and possibly even more that they haven't told people about.

Its going to be hard for the Bradford club to raise the other 500k at they only have one SL game from now at the start of june.

I've already given them £30-odd this season when we played them earlier this season, including my ticket and beer/food money. That's my bloody pledge!

I was wondering about that too, surely if they get the 500k by tomorrow (& I hope they do) come Tuesday they will still be penniless so what happens then?

20K is that alll?.. its sad when footballers earn that an hour,,, and im sure theres pretty much some rugby players out there to what could raise that no problem at all,, stevo eddie,, clarky wonder if they have helped out eh,, ?? just a thought if they love OUR game so much,, im sure they will have Hmmmmm..

Most people are making pledge already with the SKY Sports fees which keep the game alive and clubs like Bradford going.

Why should any of those people pledge though?

I just feel for the Bradford fans. They paid for their season tickets at the start of the season, now they are being asked to pay more money just so that the club can continue to exist, it's disgusting. Even if the 500k is raised aren't the same people that got them into this mess still at the helm? Don't they still have to find another 500k? Are the fans just throwing their money away? The club itself I do not feel for, they should be ashamed at they way they have treated their fans. We are told this is the "family game", these same families are being asked to part with their hard earned cash to bail out the idiots that have run a once great club into the ground, on top of the money they spend every/week year to watch their team. Unbelieveable.

What an appalling attitude from McDermott - Bradford in danger of losing their club and all the players out of work, ok the club could have been administered better but that is not the fault of the majority of folk at Odsal and all he is bothered about is losing a game

I thought better of him than that

I didn't. His head is firmly entrenched up his own backside.

Only just noticed some of the comments under the clip on You Tube - not done himself any favours there either

I went to the game, needed to do my bit, bought a ticket, programme, a burger and a beer and put £35 notes in the collection as well as loose change in The Top House collection, would i do that for Wigan in the same situation? yes i would.

I'm i an idiot? Well I've done my idiotic things in my life but this time i don't think i have, i love this game and i love the rivalry and the banter between clubs and if i can afford it I'll donate.

Seeing the stadium packed as it was and the emotion going around it makes it even more important to me that we don't lose Bradford, forget the men in the background for now, the fans deserve a team and I'm glad i gave my time and money and even more importantly my sleep (early work next day in London), i hope they survive and next time around when the money men need their next 500k I'll go again to do my bit.

He used to be a top bloke, but then he ended up at Leeds - and it didn't take long.

Here's a tip for him, though: "Pssst, Brian ... don't get too emotional about Leeds. Wear the silly hat all you want, but the chances are, pal, you aren't in their long-term plans."

Why should he be bothered about anything else? He's Leeds coach, his team are going through a bit of a rough patch. That's pretty much all that he needs to focus on.
