So what happens if they go bust regardless? The reformed club will be 200k down to start off with!

2 instalments , or it used to be, I'd suggest they would have already had this years by now

There will also have to be more " assistance" from Red Hall as well I shouldn`t wonder. If Bradford are lucky enough to find someone/group to pump over a million or so in, before they commit they would likely want cast iron assurances they will not be relegated.Noones going to commit that kind of money and find themselves in Champ 1 where it may take years to get out they will want Super League .

excactly! so if an investor comes forward and Bradford are saved, then they somehow get given a licence next time around it will be quite clear that the RFL has made assurances to the new owners.

level playing field? mmmmmmmmm....no.

That'll be the same assurances they gave to Wakey.

Yes, it's all weighted towards the chosen ones and pretty much impossible to get in.
I still wonder what level licence, if any, Crusaders had got as it must have been sorted before they ditched the night before.

Would be a surprise if they were still interested after they see the books but then again it may be pure speculative as to how bad a state they are in.

I wonder if they'll be allowed to take the points deduction this season instead of next?

And SL fans wonder why many of us have either left watching rugby league or have had enough of the RFL and how they do things but keep following our clubs out of love and loyalty! Its OK to be in SL and fail to meet any of the minimum standards but a club who are honest and making a profit are laughed at. I really hope we dont get an invite to the sickening world of SL with its lies and deceit. I hope Featherstone dont neither as we both deserve far better than what SL can offer us.

You're not very good at reading business plans though are you?





They'll buy any old shoite cos it's Bradford Bulls innit? The teflon club. They could find a mass grave under Odsal and they'd still get a license. What a farce.

It sounds that way reading that bbc report

If Bob Diamond made a bid it would be accepted.

Bradford Newbulls will be sponsored by HMP Wormwood Scrubs.

Agree 100%....stick Sl for me where the sun don't shine.

That grave will be full of old Northern fans, and i'll bet they'll be doing revolutions as well.

Kids in for a quid at Bradford this weekend.

This will show investors "the potential" at Odsal with a large crowd.

Isn't this the kind of madness that got them where they are? Not to mention the constant devaluing of the game of Rugby League. It's nothing short of bringing the game into disrepute under their current circumstance.

I haven't heard anything from the Administrators or the RFL that is not expected and the usual stuff.
People wanting to exercise Due Dilligence is classed as optimistic, its a big leap from that to buying the Club and still having to shell out a fortune to keep it going, income will still be limited and the shelves will need restocking and contracts negotiated.
Even if the RFL allow them to retain SL status, someone still has to have money upfront to move forward, can the RFL afford to keep it going, how will the club pay back any monies leant upfront to pay wages, i'd say theres mileage to go with this one yet and relaunching a new brand in SL is not as cut and dried as might be thought.
The bye may come into play in SL next season yet.

.

I dont know many people more cynical than me, but youre probably right here



The RFL end of year accounts will be interesting reading, the cupboard will be bare one day if they keep this up.

One thing is certain, the RFL certainly wouldn't care too much if WE were in the Bulls' position (had we not finished bottom and gone down). It utterly stinks.

Numptons on the radio harping on about how many SL titles the Bulls won early in SL - IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS ALL BASED ON FITTERING MONEY!!! It's time to take the medicine Bulls and the same goes for any other half-baked RL club currently teetering on the brink.

Bring it ON!

I agree with you mate as it stands at the moment but I think for Fev to progress to the next level they will need the next challenge which will involve going up, otherwise eventually if you stay still you get to the top of the hill where you are and slowly but surely slide back down.
After this season there will be very little for you to achieve in our comp.
Listening to one of your directors on the box before the game tonight and he was very upbeat and balanced about what you were doing to get it right to move on and do just that and for a club,any club to be denied that opourtunity is a sporting traversty but that won't stop the clowns who are in charge at the moment.

Maybe a quid is better than the nothing at all which is what they'd have probably got. Rumblings that there's already someone waiting in the wings to buy the debt, sorry, club.

My Bulls season ticket holding mate asked if my kids wanted to go for a quid, they told told him to stick it and would n't go anywhere near there.

PROUD.
