Well they seemed to be doing fairly well, last time I looked.



And with a far better stadium, having sold out the previous one to Tesco.

And you say this based on what. They may be entitled to be in SL but it's up to the creditors whether they actually will in the likely event the fans don't raise a million pounds.



Hardly a non story is it!

It would be a disaster for Bradford to go out of business.

Dont pretend, you are more intelligent than that

Have you even read the article? We might not even be able to fulfill our remaining fixtures THIS season, never mind the next one!

I'm reminded of my days in 2002/3 working in Bradford. It wasn't a great time being a Halifax fan and I didn't receive a lot of support from Bradford fans in the middle of their glory years.



As a Rugby League fan I hope you can get things sorted out and put this financial mess behind you. You're a proud proper rugby league club at heart and I hope for your fans and the game that you survive this.



As a Halifax fan please allow myself a little chuckle remembering those days I was being reminded how our board could not arrange a pi$$ up in a brewery.

Fans are apparently being asked to cough up £100 each – but if people are willing and able to do that, is there some way that it could be held by a fans group until certain guarantees are given by the board and a lot greater clarity about why the club is in this mess?

"The following clubs are awarded a B grade license:-

Bradford Bulls"



Oh dear....



I would actually be interested to work out how many clubs went bust prior to licensing.

Very funny IMO. They won't go bust, £1m isn't so bad and the moneybags RFL can cover that with ease, as could Bradford Council in order to keep the team in the City.

If they wait until they go into admin, it'll be a free for all. If they get the chequebook out now and beat them to it, they'll have more chance of getting their man.



Will we have room for Whitehead given that we've got Ellis, Tickle, Manu, Westerman and Whiting?!

Warrington also got bailed out by the council + consortium of businessmen (of which Mr Moran was a part I think) quite some time ago... but the question is, would Bradford be asking their fans to donate £100 each if they hadn't already tried and failed to get some businessmen on board? We saw in the early SL years what the city of Bradford is capable of producing in terms of support for the club with the right success on the field, it would be awful to see the club go under.

Well, they've got a home derby fixture against Leeds next week. Surely, given this news, they could muster an extra large bumber crowd to help the coffers?
