Suggest you rock up and ask that one yourself

Good questions Bullseye. I know some people are racked off and i don't blame them. But now is the time to put your frustrations to the club. This will be the end of the Bulls, or the beginning of the rebuild. If we keep the hardcore fans on board and start winning a few games and maybe earn promotion, for the first time in about 10 years we will start moving forward as a club rather than rock bottom, to even more rock bottom. If we let them know our feelings then they have to act. If not it's the end of the club.



Mine are more requests than Questions. I can't make it but if someone fancies asking them





[uCan they be some sort of fan representation on the board[/u. Not the administrator from Bulls SG Facebook page. But maybe someone from Bullbuilder? I know they haven't been keen to to get involved in the past. But a member of them would be someone i would trust. They can put ideas forward for basic suggestions, like spelling media releases correctly, how to interact with the fans more. Put fans frustrations to the club. Check the accounts





[uThe media guy[/u I would suggest he will be at the forum yesterday and i would imagine he will be quite young, maybe i'm too soft but i wouldn't want to cause him huge embarrassment in front of hundreds of people. But yesterday on twitter was a farce with the referee almost been abused by the official twitter account. Bradford don't earn a penalty every set and the opposition aren't gifted a penalty every set. It needs changing. Seriously give to to a fan and they would happily do it for free i'm sure.



[uFan interaction[/u Doesn't have to be forums every month. But maybe at the beginning of the season, mid-way and at the end would do. I know others weren't a fan, but the fans focus group i personally thought was a great idea. It's a better way to get fans thoughts and frustrations across to the board.

Anyone else going off here apart from me, Ricky and Frank?

I'll be there with my dad I think.

I've ordered tickets so planning to go barring any last minute work commitments. It's make or break for me. If I leave Odsal on Wed feeling like I've wasted my evening listening to a load of spin it will more than likely be my last visit to Odsal for the foreseeable future.

Will keep a look out for you both.

Will be interested if anyone asks since the club will be playing in a lower division against even lesser teams than this year, can we expect the gate prices to drop to reflect that? And season ticket prices too?



I fully expect an avoidance answer of not knowing the structure and how many home games there are yet because of the potential for teams dropping out, so I could understand not knowing season ticket prices, but the gate price I would be amazed if it hasn't been discussed. Actually, I take that back, I wouldn't be amazed. As that would suggest some kind of forward planning.

All great Q's Bullseye, some to add, I don't mind who asks them...



[uFor Chalmers;[/u



You provided a business plan and financial guarantees to the RFL to acquire the club, whilst it may well have evolved in the past few months are you prepared to share the broad details of the plan (including assumptions regarding on-field success) and the levels of funding guarantees provided?



There are rumours of third party funding assistance from Salford's owner - if true, was the assistance a short term bridging facility or is it a longer term arrangement, and how worried should we be about its continuation or otherwise in terms of the clubs ongoing liquidity?



Which individuals actually own the Bradford Bulls, noting that Lowe only became a Director of Orcas Rugby League on 24/12/2016 was that for the sole purpose of acquiring the Bulls?



What is your continuing role and responsibility in the other 14 companies that register you as a Director; [iChalmers Tennessee Trustee Limited | Cyanz Technologies Limited | Forestry Management & Assets Limited | Fourfourone Properties Limited | Fourfourone Trustees Limited | Harvest Planning Properties Limited | Harvestpro Limited | Lowie Institute Limited | The Orcas Rugby League Limited | Pounamu Forestry Asset Management Limited | Pounamu Property Investments Limited | Pounamu International Limited | Pounamu NZ Limited | Pounamu Forestry International Limited | Pounamu Forestry Asset Leasing Limited[/i



Who owns the SouthBank facility?



Regardless of full time, part time or a hybrid, are you prepared to publish a list of retained and signed players for next year - immediately after the last game of the season?



In addition to a Tier 1 academy, there has been mention of a reserve team next year - is this still a serious commitment?



What can fans do to help, other than keep throwing money at the club, as that isn't sustainable?



[uFor Toovey;[/u



Will you be here in 2018, if so why?



Often this year, part-time teams have looked fitter and stronger than our full-time players, discounting the academy youngsters still developing - how do you account for this?



How will you overcome your relative lack of experience in British Rugby League and in particular the lower leagues?



You are quoted as suggesting that we should treat next year as a 1 year diversion on the route back to success - what do you see as the most critical requirements in terms of playing and backroom staff for next years promotion challenge?

Same. I've ordered a ticket and at the moment I'm intending to go



But if I walk away feeling like I've been fobbed off then I'm walking away for the foreseeable

I'm thinking along the same lines but will probably still go to U19s games for a rugby fix.



Useful place to watch future stars of other teams begin

I'm planning to go but don't expect it's going to be a pleasant experience for either side of the table. I think it's going to be a no win situation for Chalmers as if he puts up a positive aspect he will be criticised for spinning it, if negative then he's not taking it serious.



On other hand there are questions that I think do need asking.



For me, the fan representation one is interesting but there are a lot of big voices who seem to have support around them. My fear would be that no single voice can represent all the fans.



Instead I would prefer too see an official supporters group established. I'm fed up of the mob on Facebook claiming to be the voice of the fans. Sorry but they are not and I find it really annoying they get the attention and ability to speak publicly as they do. An official group would sideline them.

Agree an official group would have more credibility. Anyone can sign up to a Facebook group. But I doubt that any kind of fan rep on the board is realistic. You'd have to be mad to take that role on.



I think Chalmers can win over the room if he's honest and avoids the management bull that he's unfortunately prone to. You'll never please everyone but I still believe it wouldn't take that much to turn things around. He'd obviously have to follow through the words with actions.
