First we bought the ground, then we bought the club.

its a very bold step! I have re-edited my first post, as reading on they have said they will be looking for interested parties to purchase the club.



However, it is a massive step! Bradford must be important to them...

wow. I never realised how much the Bulls were worth to the RFL and SL. No relegation for them then.

For me the worse part is the lack of any movements of this sort to save other ailing (smaller clubs) they've let die by the wayside. Where was this help for Blackpool?



It shouldn't matter if your Blackpool, Bramley or Bradford, in essence I support helping them all (within limits) but there has to be a greater sense of parity to the help we give- no matter who you are. Rather than this too big to fail crap.



All I'm saying is that SHOULD Salford go belly up we better be prepared to buy a club with a lease they can't afford to pay.

- So other teams are willing to help out Bradford, but when it came to Wakefield..

The People's Team. I thank you.

Hallelujah, shock horror, the RFL save the day, the evil empire in many Bradford fans minds

.



Who’ll be the first Bradford fan on hear gloating about S.L for life.



Those who thought the initial loan, followed by the purchase of the lease was an unfair decision, well, the ramifications of this will rumble on ad-infinitum.

Is it the 1st of April??

I joked this would happen but never thought it would!!! Unbelievable..

It's not going to be though, is it? They're hardly going to have one set of rules for one club and another for all the rest who, coincidentally, happen to own by proxy the club exempt from the same rules. The clubs themselves agreed to this (thank you, thank you, thank you) so why on earth would they be investing in an unfair playing field for themselves?



This is surely a move to buy time for someone to put together a bid without conditions, or one where they're prepared to name the directors rather than try and keep who's really behind the bid out of view.

It's not the RFL, it's the chairman of SL
