Bulls out in force for junior fans
6:40am Wednesday 26th November 2008
Junior players can receive expert coaching from Bulls stars like Sam Burgess, Paul Deacon and Steve Menzies this weekend while making money for their own amateur clubs.
Bradford are opening their doors for a special open event at Grattan Stadium on Saturday when their entire Super League squad will be on hand to give out tips and advice to anyone interested.
There will also be opportunities to buy 2009 junior season tickets, with £5 cashback from each sale going to the player’s own club.
Bulls media, PR and football manager Stuart Duffy explained: “It’s all part of our commitment to the amateur game in the Bradford area.
“Through initiatives with the amateur clubs, like selling match-day programmes and junior season tickets, they are able to earn money as a result of their association with the Bulls.
“We know how difficult it is for them to get funding and this is also a great way – at no cost – for young players to come to Odsal, meet our first-team squad and be coached by them all.
“World-class players like Sam Burgess and our new signings such as Steve Menzies and Nick Scruton will be there and kids can get autographs and pictures with all their favourite heroes.”
Any club interested in attending the event, which runs from 11am until 3pm, must contact the club as soon as possible to confirm.
They should ring Katie Meyerhoff or Katie Baxter on 01274-762311 or visit the Odsal office.

Well done Bulls, getting us back to being the best family club in SL. Just need to get back the match day entertainment, player nicknames, buzzing atmosphere and it will be a boost for the players.

Mcnally from workington? word is he's trouble, the other kids on the tour down under didn't like him.

Agree with Haitch, Players cant and never always get on, that has to be put aside though and what they bring to the field has to be accepted regardless.
Thats why I feel we should have gone for Thackray, he's a good player, so what if he's a bit of a jack the lad.

Great idea from Bulls and I agree any incentive of this type will prove a success. It's a pity we can't add Robbie Paul to the staff as he could be such an ambassador for the club commercially and is still a celeb' in the kids eyes.
