Can’t remember where or why I heard Nicholas might be involved. It’s no coincidence for me it is chairmen of clubs who backed chalmers outbursts have found their way into the club. It seems it was all planned from the start for the alleged landfill so all shareholders earn their corn. Tw@s

The question is do you believe them or do you still believe Ross, now it's proven to be a piece of pure fantasy.

Mark Sawyer said in his interview that Kevin is a partner and is working behind the scenes with the club.

Good to see there are some serious backers investing in the club.
Surely our future is secured!

On a more realistic note the only real investors are the fans and I’m not sure they will keep investing.

The rfl will maintain the lease of odsal at a cost of 200k at the expense of the league. More bad blood towards the bulls but surely this could prompt the other clubs into wanting answers too

I read that article and I can't believe it's anything other than scaremongering from the RFL. The reasons for it are of course debateable but I'm sure we all have our own theories.

It's definitely been mentioned in recent interviews that Nicholas was involved in some way. This just seems to confirm that he's involved in a minor shareholder capacity. I'm more interested in the idea that Chalmers still has a stake, and therefore a voice.

And yet Kevin Nicholas denied being involved just a few days ago

Yet again, lack of clarity and contradictory information. It’s no wonder that some of us have lost all trust in the club

I think the booking fee applies only to on-line sales, at least it did under the old management. That said, I'm far from sure if an actual, physical office currently exists or is still 'being looked at'.
My Bulls lottery numbers need to be paid. Does anyone know if Jane and her team are still in the shop at Odsal so I can go and pay.

Says this includes lost rent (approx £70k) so when you factor in rates of £50k I think was the figure bandied about, security for site and other costs.
The RFL won’t actually be doing anything to the ground just doing the bare minimum as specified by lease so the council have no reason to revoke it
