Damien Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I saw this yesterday too. It was rumoured for that long it just didn't seem like a shock when it was confirmed! I don't know if Wood is the man to get Bradford back to where they belong but I wish him every luck and hope he does build Bradford up again.

As I've said elsewhere about other things, but it holds here as well, one of the biggest issues we, as a game, face, is that our pool of people as administrators, owners, players, funders and fans is already small and seems to be diminishing.

His priority must sure be getting the Bulls back to Odsal, but at the same time he's needs to get some funding for it. It was my understanding, rightly or wrongly that some funding had been agreed with the EU before we voted to leave it so that funding went by the by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I think most of us Bulls fans had simply assumed that he's been in charge for quite a long time - and that this announcement was just making it official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive investment has been made by Startrax Oval Motorsport Limited in installing a new fence and re-laying a shale track so racing can return. Unfortunatly the rest of the stadium is looking a little tired and we want it to sparkle when COVID restrictions are lifted and the stadium can return to hosting Stockcars and Rugby along with many other types of events.

Man of Kent Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 What is relationship between fans and the board at Bradford like these days? If there's one club who I feel could have more of an AFC Wimbledon approach, it's Bradford. God knows they've been through the wringer and used to protesting/organising etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
