I can't see it myself , I think you will find the breaking news to be that, Bradford bulls are in administration from midnight tonight

Welcome to the house of cannon fodder.

For year 1 anyhow.

Can't be as bad as us

17 Stevie Wonders would be better than you lot



I'm a fan of Fax and the current setup they have

Why are we now considered good enough? I would like the RFL to explain how and why they consider us fit for SL but not last year. Personally I dont think we will be ready and think it stinks. Better to stay where we are and build properly for SL instead of being cannon fodder as the RFL rush us through to make up the numbers. Wood ruined us once and I feel if he wants us in SL this way it could ruin us again as everything will be rushed and not done properly. The board have done a great job but that job still needs to be finished properly and the club treated with respect from the RFL not just forced in to make up the numbers for the Sky contract or whatever.

Much as I am in agreement with this post, there is also the fact that, should these rumours have any truth behind them, then this could be the one and only opportunity for Fax to get back into the top flight.

Totally agree, unless we have suddenly got a big money backer, but we've been there before with that on more than one occasion!

There were rumours before that the money was there had we had been given a SL licence. Could have been a load of rubbish.

Is Mr Probiz coming back

I think he is currently trying to sell Fev to Qatar.

Really can't see it. We're not ready, as a club or as a squad, although we'd get an easy 4 points off widnes!

What a mockery of licensing it would make too - roundly slagged off last attempt to super league standard in a year! We're far too well run!

I must admit, I'm quite amused by the thought of it being those sad sacks over at odsal we could replace! Can't see it tho, SL NEEDS the bulls!

Luke Ambler is a very naughty boy!

Or the son of God

If there's any shred of decency, Bradford would drop out. However, decency and the RL don't go hand in hand.

Good luck to Halifax if they make it just hope you do it for the right reasons and not to make the RFL look good by kicking Bradford out
I do think that if Bradford go into Admin they should drop to Championship 1

As for Halifax what is the club doing now that it didnt at the last application ? will now be the right time and will you have enough structures in place to compete. The appeal to play the big boys is there for everyone but been competative a this level must be better than getting hammered every week because you were not quite ready for S/L. Anyway you supporters and your BOD will know whether the time is right and is it too big to turn down good luck whatever your club decide only down side for me is that the matches like this Thursday will be missed by me as a Fev supporter

Why would they replace a club with a fan base of at least 9,000 with a club that has 2,500? No matter how badly run Bradford have been there isn't a club strong enough to replace them.

I'm "coming out of retirement" on this one. There's only one thing more embarrassing than England's defeat versus Italy last night ... and that's Super League - the set up, the "leadership" and the awful "entertainment" it offers. For christ's sake let's not be a part of this sham. Perfectly happy with what I'm seeing at the moment, rather than "making up the numbers" in that pile of crap.

Its all BS anyway, Luke Ambler messing around....

It'd be nice to be up there again, but I'd like us to earn it on the field. Is SL really the golden goose or just a poison chalice?

Fully agree with you there.

Tonights "telly" game is a perfect example of what could end up to us week in week out. I would rather stay in the championship than endure that each week.

Agree with MP. We don't want to go into that league and get "Widnessed" every week. We need to get stronger as a club and need a backer. We have to compete or we'll just embarrass ourselves.

i would go for it if there was a chance

I admit I was initially upset when we did not get the nod for Super League but after the initial disapointment it didn`t bother me too much . I never even watch Super League when it`s on tv I get bored and find something else to do. Widnes in a way were lucky they were not even competative in the Championship so they can "settle" for loseing every week but could we. We have all enjoyed our rugby these last 3 yrs a couple of finals and wining many more games than we lose.Would we want to be like Widnes every game ? no thank you.We would certainly have to have a money man that is prepared to put money in for years as well.
One thing I do think is if the Dulls do get their liscence withdrawn and it`s a big "do" I think we should have the remainder of what`s left on this terms liscence and the following 3 yrs because we`ve done them a favour being rushed up.

Thinking back to what happened at Wakefield.....

They went into administration, a money man (!) got them on the cheap and they kept their place and licence so why should Bradford be any different? They keep saying theres people willing to put money in but not the amount needed to clear the debt and move on so the cheap option would be to do a 'Wakey'.

If Fax do get offered the chance, would it be the right thing for the club at this stage? Players already signed up for next year who want part time rugby, availabilty of quality fulltime players, etc.

If it comes off then good luck to you.
