Bradford Bulls and their Foundation have announced a new initiative aimed at forging even closer ties with their community clubs.

Bulls have strong relationships at pathway level, evidenced by the total number of community clubs within their circle currently standing at 23.

As part of their commitment to building stronger relationships with open age sides, adults and club officials in Bradford, Bulls will be inviting clubs to matches throughout the season, free of charge.

When at Odsal, those players, staff and officials will get the chance to sit down and discuss the best of Bradford rugby league, while enjoying food and drinks in the Trevor Foster lounge in the Southbank Stand.

The initiative ensures transparency and fairness by assuring clubs that, while they may not receive invitations to the first match, they will have opportunities to attend games throughout the year.

Further announcements will be made on a match-by-match basis.

Each club will get 20 tickets free of charge, with personal invitations for the first fixture, against Sheffield Eagles, on Sunday, May 19 being sent out today.
