Back to Belmore President Luke Brailey and newly-appointed Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle met for the first time yesterday at Belmore Sports Ground for formal talks and reaffirmed the breadth of the friendship between the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Back to Belmore.

"The Back to Belmore executive committee and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs clearly share a deep commitment to preserving and restoring Belmore Sports Ground as a multi-purpose sporting venue," Mr Brailey said.

"From this basis, I am truly confident that I will enjoy a friendly and warm cooperation with the new Chief Executive to achieve our shared goals as stakeholders of the most beautiful sporting facility in the world."
