i hope it's re-instatement of your full Sky central funding and a minor 2pt deduction for agreeing repayment terms with the old creditors

And then an influx of Wakefield fans pointing out that Bradford were the only club not to have their share of someone elses central funding taken from them.

Gale contract extension

Wou
D have hoped for more important news tbh.

Re: Major announcement at 5.30 : Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:39 pm  

Of all the things I'd like resolved, Gale's contract wasn't high on the list. Had we not had the last couple of year's interesting times, I might be tempted to say that it proves we have a plan, some money and ambition but these days I daren't assume anything

I reckon his agent has done some great work, not sure we were after him at all.

Still good news for your club.

Re: Major announcement at 5.30 : Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:41 pm  

I'm happy with that

1 - It is highly symbolic, surely? Shows Bulls can and are able to retain players, in the face of attack from outside and antics of scumbag vermin agents?

2 - The report in the T&A earlier included: " ...He is also in line to be handed the club captaincy if, as expected, Matt Diskin retires at the end of 2014." - so it would seem the head coach sees more in him than just another player re-signing? And so, again, this could be a highly-symbolic announcement?

Thought it was going to be news regarding Bradford Bulls latest takeover bid as the prospective new owner rides into town?

Agree with Adey, this is more than just a player agreeing a contract extension,if we had lost Carvell AND Gale 4 days before season starts it would be a major blow.The more I think about it the more I think this shows some real intent
