I listened to the Bulls BCB show tonight and I actually feel sorry for Marc Green. it costs him £2.7m to run the club for the year before anything or anyone comes through the door. That figure includes Odsal rent, tong rent, players wages, upkeep of infrastructure, insurances, ulitity bills and travel costs for all junior and first team. it would seem other people were equally sympathic of what Mr Green has actually taken on. I think as fans we sometimes allow the results om the field to cloud are judgement on the owner - chairman. £2.7m is a lot of money.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of those figures. Then perhaps people could see what a millstone Odsal is.

Same here. wages are supposedly one million plus? does odsal cost another million, how much is the training facilities at tong? I heard it's state of the art so cloud be half a million?

Rohan Smith is better at explaining himself on Bulls TV than Jimmy. Lowes sometimes would just rant at the person asking questions. What I mean about Ross is why just focus on negatives? why not look at the great things happening with academy? I just feel t&a goes all doom and gloom. I enjoy reading his match reports though they usually have plenty of description which is vital when you can't go to games.

It's a fair point. I do think the general feeling around the club is doom and gloom, and his stories simply reflect that. But yes, I agree, a really good positive article about the academy would be a welcome one. Perhaps he hasn't got the right access to do that kind of story, or like has been said, perhaps the relationship between him and senior figures at the club is strained. But it's certainly one area of the club that is a massive silver lining and perhaps could do with a little highlighting.

Not sure on ross and his current relationship with green. I remember when Dave Craven put out the Lowes Warrington story and he fell foul of hood and bennett.
Hopefully Ross can repair the damage with the club and start covering positive stories rather then all this will they wont they stay full time. Green said on BCB last week he's signed off a squad of 28 players for next year so that must mean full time?

How long has Ross been with the T&A now? RL reporters don't usually hang around for more than 4 or 5 years now. Gone are the days when you had a reporter for long periods - think the last one like that at the T&A was Brian Smith (not the Aussie!).

I think this is his fourth season at the paper. I've no idea of his background or where's he from. Perhaps he might be in it for the long haul like bill marshall was or as you mention brian smith. I think the Bradford City guy has been at the paper for over ten years.

Bill ended up covering cricket. He was only covering the Bulls for a short period IIRC. Nice bloke.

Not sure if I've got the right one but I thought he'd previously been RL correspondent on the Warrington Guardian.

So, with regards to Mark's company - Safeguard security group (http://www.ssgltd.co.uk/) - it all seems to be ok so rumours of appointing administrators were obviously bo llox. Yet another attempt to muddy the waters and cause damage to MG & the Bulls.
