AS coach Andy Brown settles on his starting roster for the 2023-24 season, Bradford Bulldogs’ fans have the chance to come and see them in action for the first time ahead of the regular season campaign in a special charity fund-raising game.
They will line up against 'Team Richardson' - whose roster will contain one-time team-mates of former Bulldogs' D-man Josh Richardson, who suffered life-changing injuries in a motoring accident while on holiday in Thailand earlier this year.
Already confirmed on ‘Team Richardson’ are: Leeds Knights’ duo Kieran Brown, Lewis Baldwin, plus ex- Bulldogs’ Matt Viney and Chris Butler. More names will be announced in the coming days.
All monies from ticket sales, the raffle and cake stall will go towards a Go Fund Me page which was set up to cover the £100,000 cost of Josh's health care while he recovered in Thailand following his accident.
Face-off for the game will be 4.45pm, with the Arena doors opening at 4pm.
Ticket prices are as follows: £5 adults, £3 Under-16s and concessions. All payable on the door.
