Right,

Just walloped all my facebook "friends" with a mail about Bullbuilder. If it gets one person to join I'll be happy! As stated before by quite a few people, the trust is not yet widely known. If nothing else I've told everyone on my mail that the trust exists which is a stepping stone to bigger (and better) things hopefully.

Excellent! Word of mouth is the best advertising we can have!

U20's video doesn't play, anything I need to check?

No idea, the video is provided through "a popular video sharing website", do you have the latest version of flash installed? Can you see other videos from said site?

Up to date I've had no problems viewing video clips but I am using a work PC so it may be something to do with their security settings, I will try at home later.

That's probably what it is. I know my work blocks any videos from that particular website, so any workplace that doesn't like people surfing "personal" things (and blocks stuff like facebook and twitter) usually block those too.

I can't view it from work either, but worked fine from home last night.

IMO, Facebook is one of the best ways to raise the profile.

I've started reposting links / stories etc on my FB page from BullBuilder.

The direct message maybe a good option too, I may do that today (please could you PM the message temple you used to save me some legwork [and brain power]).

If we all did it…..if nothing else, it would get people talking about BullBuilder!

It's certainly the best way for fans and BB members to do it, I agree.

When it was starting out, I re-posted every announcement via mine, invited all Bulls fans I knew to the other launch, and it worked, a few of them showed up and joined.

Word of mouth is the single best way of getting it out there, whether that be via facebook, twitter or just talking to your mates and/or random people at the game.

And we cannot stress enough. The more people that join, the more the Trust can do for the academy, the better the future of the Bradford Bulls is.

Any help at all makes a difference. Whether your help is the volunteering of some time (like Duckman has here in quite superb fashion), or whether it's just a tenner a year to be a member. As a certain supermarket says, every little helps.

Thanks Duckman for the video, it was entertaning and informative.
If this an early indication of the sort of things Bullbuilder can achieve for the club, then its going to be the best thing thats ever happened to the club.

Thanks!

I'm really glad the video has been well recieved! This is just one example of how we as fans can work together to help both club and fans. It is also worth noting that whilst this video has been brought to you entirely voluntarily, to really make a difference to these young guys we need the supporters to join BullBuilder so we can put your collective contributions to good use!

Just subscribed through Paypal. Very easy to do and secure. Hope lots more people are able to join. Its a very worthwhile venture.

You reckon we'll get Waldorf and Statler to sign up?
