With it being a matchday then I would imagine that would depend on how positive the news is, if the news isn't that great then tuesday is more likely.

Is that a direct change/update from taking longer than expected because the problems "were worse than expected" or is it an extra reason?

Either way the programme notes from Stephen Coulby will be essential reading

Nothing has changed mate.



The consortium have to double & triple check their figures, plan etc.. Before putting their business plan forward to the investors.



That saying - patience is a virtue - pretty much ringing true here.

You clearly have more knowledge on this than I do Mick....

I think there are two issues. 1) do we have enough cash to see the season out? 2) can we put up season ticket prices by enough to become viable without losing thousands of fans?





They should know the answer to 1). The answer to 2) is much more difficult if not guesswork and will be exercising the minds of the shareholders and potential investors

Some forward investment from Steve Ganson perhaps?

Well, he owes us big time doesn't he!!



To be serious, the point was that NO investors have been identified ( in the public domain) so far as I know, and whilst I and the rest of us, obviously hope that there ARE some out there, it's not looking a very rosy prospect right now, but your line: "[iThe consortium have to double & triple check their figures, plan etc.. Before putting their business plan forward to the investors[/i", sounded a bit definite, like you knew something?

Does anyone invest in a RL club because they expect a "return" as if it was a normal business - of course not - the best return an investor or sponsor could hope to get would be to be "association" with the image of a sucessful team. So all this talk about "double and triple checking of figures" - really has nothing to do with attracting an investor to a financial proposition - it is more about whether a combination of income from ticket sales and TV money can provide a competitive team for the Bradford fans and sucessful enough to attract sponsors - and of course break-even

The club managed to find a group of investors that were willing to invest £500k without seeing any figures and with the knowledge that they might be throwing their money down the drain. But its unlikely to happen again.

Unless we secured a degree of ownership in return...?

I can understand why people might feel that way but speaking for myself I'd be happy just to have team for next year. They used to run with a committee making decisions many years ago, though somehow I doubt there were ever 5k committee (wo)men!
