Long-term Bulls fan Tony Evans no longer takes his family to their games. Here, he outlines the reason for this decision as he reflects on a downward spiral at the club...

IT IS a long time since I questioned the Bulls' commitment, enthusiasm and performances but I am now very worried about the club's future.

Back in 2010 I said 'I'm getting very concerned, as will the future see Pricewaterhouse Coopers or Ernst & Young become involved with the Bulls?'. Once again, that feeling is worrying me.

Having supported Bradford Northern and the Bulls since the 1960s, I have seen many highs but, until recently, not many lows.

I can remember standing on the terrace with a few hundred people in the snow and rain.

Why did we do it? To follow a great team who always tried hard and were consistent – even when they lost they had always tried and shown enthusiasm and commitment.

So what has happened since the great days of Brian Noble?

We have had a selection of coaches who, like the team, have one consistent thing – they were not consistent.

It is as if the Bulls have two teams – the Bulls who play their hearts out and are a credit to the club and a second team of lookalikes who are so inconsistent, making schoolboy errors and showing no enthusiasm.

Sadly, the latter turn up far more often.

So can the problems be the coaching staff, having seen so many fail to get regular consistency and enthusiasm, or is it the culture at the club?

I remember reading the first article about a new player's first day, with them saying he had spent it learning about the club's history.

Yes, the club has a proud history, but it has helped them achieve nothing in the past years.

How do the loyal fans get treated by the owners – perhaps like forced rhubarb (where is it grown and what is it fed on?).

A prime example of this is the Geoff Toovey saga.

Several times we have heard that his work visa should be through in a couple of weeks, yet months later we still have not heard anything.

Why not? Is there something they do not want the fans to hear?

As he does not have a work visa, he cannot be paid, so how is he buying food, refreshments and paying his other living expenses?

We have already seen a player (Phoenix Hunapo-Nofoa) who had a delay in getting his work visa say that he is no longer coming to the club.

Surely the club know that Geoff Toovey can do the same. As relegation looks to be drawing nearer, this is worrying.

Before each game we get a player saying they have had a good week training and have put right all the faults from the previous week's game, only to have another player on the Monday following yet another loss saying they know what is wrong and will work hard to put it right in time for the next game.

This has been going on since at least 2011; sadly talking the talk but not walking the walk.

To take the family to watch the Bulls costs in the region of £120 – and what do you get? Excuses.

Perhaps each player could be asked why fans should continue to pay large amounts of their hard-earned money only to watch a team who show little enthusiasm and make schoolboy errors.

I am one of the many past fans who no longer go to games.

I used to take a family of seven to every home and away game. At the start of each season, we bought home and away shirts, along with other merchandise.

All in all it cost me several thousand pounds to follow the Bulls. All this has, like with many other people, been lost.

Sadly, we can no longer support the Bulls as the Bulls make little effort to support the family by playing with passion and commitment.

We could accept them losing if they played with passion and commitment, as we would have known at least they tried.

We now go and watch junior rugby – and boy, do they show enthusiasm and commitment.

The great Trevor Foster must be turning in his grave.
