If as happened with halifax yrs ago they said they were at deaths door and fans from all over were duped wonder if similar ploy being used by bulls.

I think the Bulls will survive this with some new investor and avoid administration. Going into administration I'm sure the club would still remain in Super league anyway with a points deduction. I don't reckon there will be much impact on the league or support other than some more poor results and the loss of some of their players. If Bradford Bulls ceased to exist in Superleague (which I very much doubt) I think the issue of the number of fans affected is unfortunate, but inconsequential as the hardcore fans will support Bradford whatever league they are in, more casual sports fans will support somebody else. Some would be lost to rugby league but that said if for example Halifax, Featherstone or even Keighley were in the super league instead, they would build up similar fan bases from new supporters in or around those towns... Swings and roundabouts! In fair sport, Bradford have no more or less right to their place in the Super league than any other Rugby League team that can work their way up there. Fair play to Bradford for being in in the top-flight for so long but I don't think the management should be allowed to squander that position when other teams are constrained by arbitrary rules in their opportunity to get to that same position.

I am of the same opinion as many of you. I dont want to see the Bradford club disappear, but I think its very much Karma what is happening for a number of reasons.



1. When Nigel Wood and co left Fax with a load of debt that they struggled for years to get rid of and which eventually nearly killed the club off. a number of Bulls fans poked fun at us Fax fans and made comments like you are a disgrace to SL when we was forced to field a weak squad in the year we was relegated. They thought it hilarious to see us struggle and getting hammered in each game even though the board made the decision to cut its cloth as best it could. Sadly the debt Big Nige and co built up proved too much a few years later and the club had to get the buckets out. We appreciate the help from fans from other clubs including Keighley. But we didnt get that much help from other clubs and the RFL. Did the RFL look to help us with our lease? Where was the help for Keighley, Doncaster, Whitehaven. Leigh etc?



2. The words of Chris Caisley poking fun at Keighley and Fev and re inventing history is something I also remember well. How he lied and twisted things to make sure Bradford got the best of things over others. He was chairman at Bradford and I dont remember too many Bradford fans saying he was wrong to say what he did.



3. Halifax like Keighley, Batley and Dewsbury was a prime target for free tickets and raiding our clubs to fill the Bulls Academy team. The hard work the Championship teams did was systematically undermined by the Bulls. They knew our areas was Rugby areas and they couldnt be bothered to do that much work in Bradford who in the main dont give a toss about Rugby.



4. The rubbish from people saying SL needs Bradford. No they need a strong Bradford that isnt badly managed and begging to survive. For me Bradford should lose their SL status after this year even if no team replaces them. They should have to rebuild just like Fax, Keighley etc have had to do



5. The whole farce of licences and Nigel Wood twisting things to suit his agenda really annoys me. He ran up debts and upset many people at Halifax and he is not learned any lessons. His arrogance and ego has seen him and the RFL split the game. It doesnt matter what you do on the field its if your face fits etc. The game is in a mess below the surface but he doesnt care about anything but himself and SL. To see 3 SL clubs in 18 months in such a mess makes me laugh at what a fraud it all is.

Bradford have run up massive debts and paid for players they couldn't afford.



Now the whole of rugby league seems to be bailing them out and paying it off for them





. If anyone from the RFL reads this board, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED as you give them a B Raiting. This is a complete and utter joke.

I have a small office in Bradford, it appears the Bulls Supporters Club are calling all businesses in BD to see if they can assist with the 'keep the bailiffs away for a few more weeks' fund.



I took great delight in declining his request for a donation. I wonder if they are going to make the £500k by tomorrow? Think they have 300k according to super league websites, then I would imagine a packed Odsal at the weekend could bring home sufficient......for now.

I see our old mate Chris Caisley is hovering in the background.



Can you imagine?

Clocks ticking B***s

but dont worry Mr Caisley will come and offer his help
