Considering the relegation has been pretty much nailed on for a few weeks at least now, it's good to see that the higher ups at the club have had a statement prepared and ready to outline to fans what the plans are and how we now move forward. It's a great statement that really helps to give us all an idea of where we are, what's happening and what the strategies going forward are. Releasing it straight after relegation was confirmed was the perfect thing to do.

Oh wait....

I emailed Andrew Chalmers about the resounding silence last night and got this back today:

Hi Deano,
We are planning a fans forum this month. Will keep you posted. It’s tough for everyone especially the fans. I feel the hurt to and just ask you to please continue to support us as we transition out of these circumstances.
A lot happening, and will keep you in the loop.
Best regards Andrew

I don't aim any of this at you, as I know you're only trying to help and get some answers. However I don't believe a word he says. This "fans forum is coming" rubbish has been said for months. This "stick with us" b0llocks has been said for months, This "things are happening behind the scenes" guff has been said for months. Until he backs up his words, I won't believe any of them.

I appreciate you getting in touch Fr13daY. However Chalmers should be keeping all fans in the loop not just ones he's met personally.

Not that I'm as bothered as I was. I'll be sticking with the 16s and 19s from now on if I need a rugby fix.

A fans forum would be interesting - I can see him being asked some pretty searching questions.

That response to Fr13daY is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen from the club considering the circumstances, and that's saying something. Dreadful.

Well considering its been a year since Marc Greens famous "i will never put this club in administration, buy more beer before the game" statement, which was followed a week later, bu the winding up peition which eventually liquidated us. I'd probably suggest that was worse.

I personally havent given up yet. I personally feel relegation is the best thing that could happen to the club. I hope this fans forum does happen. It needs to. We can't afford to lose die hards like Bullseye and Hamster. The statement of where we are going is critical. Even if it contains some things we won't like.

Marc Green's statement was misguided, it wasn't pathetic (IMO). Also I did say "one of" - we are spoiled for choice it seems.

I sat in the stands yesterday thinking, 'I'll need to sort my ST early this year to make sure I keep my seat, no way they'll open the standing sides next year, everyone will be in the main stand.'

I took myself out the back and gave mi head a shake... but I'll be back next year. Even though I said I wouldn't and launched my toys out of the pram.

As a matter of interest, anyone notice that the official Bradford Bulls twitterfeed suddenly had 'North West' as location last night. There's another one for the conspiracy theories...

The Bulls media guy is from Oldham.

I assume they don't actually pay him a wage?
