Maybe as supporters we need to be a bit more positive about our own club. The multiple teams we run, stable play off side in the Championship for several seasons, great support and everyone mentions Bradford when talking about SL - positive or negative comments.

Oldham as far as I am aware are just tenants at a football ground that other than the one new stand is pretty old - hardly top class facilities. They have spent some money on players recently but then we've seen that before at other clubs and it hasn't been sustained. Really struggling to see how what they have achieved so far trumps the likes of York/Bradford.


London are an interesting one, Hetherington is clearly there for a reason and will hold some sway with SL sides.


York are clearly strong in many facets - the biggest question mark over them is the support. They seem to struggle but perhaps SL would attract new fans.


Toulouse - I'm just struggling to see the appetite for another French side in SL right now. I expect the Bulls will still be aiming to get in on IMG points rather than by committee decision and deservedly so for the hard work they're putting into the club fo turn things around.

I thought Jason Hirst had hacked his account!

Voice of reason and positivity me! But seriously the club appear to be back on the right track and working hard on what I imagine is still a tight budget - we probably do need to focus on what we are doing well at. There are plenty of other empty heads on social media who will point on the obvious re the stadium etc.


I know for a fact, that some of the parents and kids invited to recent community takeover games are coming again to further Bulls matches. The Friday night matches are proving to be quite successful at creating a positive fan experience.

If nothing else its enjoyable seeing any post that includes "Odslum" or "Sadford" as it automatically marks the author as 14 and you can scroll past.


Although that theory means one of the more frequent Halifax posters has been 14 a LONG time.

The chairmen of the clubs are saying they want clubs which enhance the reputation of the competition. What this means is they want away support turning up this is revenue exercise nothing more nothing less.
