I'm not sure that any business can't lead to abuses. Look at charity organisations for example, they are supposed to collect money to help the needy. They should be whiter than white but somehow many contrive to give only a fraction of their income to the people they claim to support.

I don't understand how Nestle and Exxon have been singled out as being some sort of pariah how are they any different from their competitors.



Provident have been good for the Bulls and their fans I for one hope they continue.

Well here's your homework, a short essay. Bullet points alone if you like:



Essay Title:

"[iEthical treatment of local people, businesses and HMRC in the last 5 years - my club Bradford Bulls -v- Provident - compare and contrast.[/i"



You might be a bleeding heart etc. but however much the incumbent Bradford club screws people over year after year, you manage to find justifications to ignore that and keep on supporting them and financing them, so maybe the flow of blood is a tad selective.

Life isn't black and white.

Indeed it isn't. Round here it's red amber and black

As you pointed out to the spewing fax fans, the club and company are not one and the same

.

Phew. Well that's OK then.



Or not, as it completely misses the point, which is Provident in the same period has never gone tits, and never screwed local businesses or the taxman out of 99p in the £

IMHO that's why the bulls name should have been dropped, it would have helped everyone to see that it is a new company,

new staff, new coach, new players, new owners...



Its hardly rocket science that its all new but very difficult for FAX, Huddersfield and Wakey fans to understand.



In the case of Fax fans though I think they would have been happier if there was no club in Bradford at all, no matter what the name.

So screwing over people is now acceptable then

Besides, you don't know their tax goings on, nor do you know if they do/don't screw over local businesses.



Anyway, at what point do we leave this rabbit hole and agree it's a pointless arguement? I won't change my stance... neither will you. Have a lovely day and lets hope we have a nice sunny, almost warm day on Sunday.

I don't get why they don't understand

The original Bulls were liquidated and this is an entirely new organisation run and funded by the RFL

On behalf of their 39 members. Marvellous.

With a 12 point deduction even though it has no ties at all to the original?

OK. You couldn't lend us fifty till payday could ya?





Meh. It'll snow.

And max 3 degrees? Bloody marvellous.

Respect.



1st point goes to Scary71 for concluding the argument without dissing FA

Are you sure about this? BLK are on the brink of closing down and have recently stopped trading in the U.K.

Why not, it would be like two peas in a pod them working with us!

The kit will be ISC with most of last years sponsors renewing.The Aussie consultant has worked miracles in managing to keep people happy and wrapping up the sponsorships despite money being lost to Green.chalmers Mcfarlane and irvine impressing the usual suspects in the office with their professionalism and experience

The proof will be in the pudding (and I'm not talking bout Nige)

JCT600 main kit sponsor??

Hoping

'Bradford Bulls will launch the new season’s kit and announce all sponsors tomorrow at the Provident Stadium, entering the Championship with a ‘full house’ of corporate sponsorships to rival any club.'



Fingers crossed they are putting some good money in to the new club

Chalmers said they were bringing some old sponsors back that had been upset by the previous regime's,

I would have thought Irvine and Chalmers have a wide range of contacts themselves.

looks like I was wrong a new national company credit where credits due! good work.

I wish they'd get someone to proof read their statements.

Literally every single one is either full of typos or just doesn't read properly. Makes the club look unprofessional.
