Maybe as supporters we need to be a bit more positive about our own club. The multiple teams we run, stable play off side in the Championship for several seasons, great support and everyone mentions Bradford when talking about SL - positive or negative comments.

Oldham as far as I am aware are just tenants at a football ground that other than the one new stand is pretty old - hardly top class facilities. They have spent some money on players recently but then we've seen that before at other clubs and it hasn't been sustained. Really struggling to see how what they have achieved so far trumps the likes of York/Bradford.


London are an interesting one, Hetherington is clearly there for a reason and will hold some sway with SL sides.


York are clearly strong in many facets - the biggest question mark over them is the support. They seem to struggle but perhaps SL would attract new fans.


Toulouse - I'm just struggling to see the appetite for another French side in SL right now. I expect the Bulls will still be aiming to get in on IMG points rather than by committee decision and deservedly so for the hard work they're putting into the club fo turn things around.

Also with wood as our owner can we even get promoted? Conflict of interest

Took care of that few months ago. Resigned as a director. So he’s just a 1/6 owner with no executive interest, as far as Companies House is concerned 

York did something clever a few months ago. They employed Newcastle’s academy coaches, thereby taking over a functioning academy setup and turning Newcastle into their defacto feeder team. So for a few thousand pounds they collected img points in the catchment area section and community engagement section. 

I refuse to believe you wrote that paragraph it must have been a Chat Bot programme! 

I thought Jason Hirst had hacked his account!
