Quote ="Scabbycat"In terms of the forthcoming franchises, how on earth have Bradford Bulls got under the radar. For me they are in a prime position for no franchise. They have failed to make the play off's in the last 3 years (assuming they dont make it this year). they have made little progress in the Challenge Cup.
The ground is the coldest and most remote in the RL, miles away from the action, it is as it was when it was built- a glorified quarry.
Their attendances dropped until this year when they gave season tickest away (£60), how much money have they lost on that one?.
Yes for me Bradford and Crusdaers along with Harelquins should be in the mix.
But logic plays no part in this procedure.'"
maybe its something to do with 4 super league titles since 1996
as opposed to castleford winning championship division 1 or whatever it was called,and maybe winning the odd raffle
