From TRL's own Rugby League Heroes - Colin ‘Buck’ Armstrong is one of the great Cumbrian players of the last 50 years. Three times he faced the Kangaroos and twice he captained Workington at Old Trafford. Professionally, he started out at Carlisle before making a name for himself in the top division with Hull Kingston Rovers. Battling for most of his career with type-1 diabetes, he was a central figure in Workington rising through the divisions in the mid-1990s before spells at Swinton and Whitehaven. He later took up coaching and refereeing. 5 Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

Their marketing and presentation was a cut above. Yes the clubs success was built on huge debts and I don’t want to see that happen again to any club. However you’d think that at least some of the flair would remain all be it in a modest form. Yet in truth it’s nearly all gone now. 8o% of fans lost. Exposure in the city way lower than football and so on. I honestly think if it weren’t for John Kears ability to create half decent teams on shoe string budgets the Bulls would have died by now. There must be someone capable of making a go of it. The fact that nobody is willing suggests the clubs financial collapse was even worse that any of us knew. Sad, very sad. A good Bradford would be an asset to the game, no doubt about it. Agreed. I have recently started going to Bradford for work and no-one has mentioned the Bulls even when I have a Catalans jacket on or mentioned the game. Closest I got was someone mentioning that Rhinos players train over there in Kirkstall. Being from the South, naively I had no clue how close Leeds, Cas, Bradford et al were together. But I can see enough to understand a strong Bulls has to be good for the game. Is their reputation so bad that no-one will take a chance on them and look to rebuild?

Probably not the best time when majority of staff in Bradford are working from home, plus not exactly a thriving job market in Bradford. As a fan I think we are rebuilding but not overspending as per previous owners. No Admin since 2016. Squad this year looks stronger than 2020 so should put up a better fight for 3rd spot.

As a fan of a football club who spent a fair bit of time in and out of admin, these are the painful yards rebuilding credibiility in the community and giving people time to forget how things were with the club before.
