I love how Flyingprop gets shown up by the bulls fans for being a clueless idiot, so in turn, posts the link on here in the hope that the Leeds fans will rescue him from further embarassment

No more embarrassing than not being able to spell embarrassment.

Rugby League is Art. At Wheldon Road at least.

Just for once I'll agree with you - I'd much rather paint a picture of Wheldon Rd than Headingley

What a load of Jackson Pollocks!

And when those same old flatcappers who campaigned vehemently against summer rugby are indulging in their past-time of slagging off anything and everything the RFL do, they should remember thats its mainly down to the efforts of Richard Lewis that we secured this funding.

The Beardmore twins were no oil paintings!

You can't believe the mullets & moustaches were real?

I did. I even tried to grow one, though mine was based upon the anemic caterpillar that adorned a young Schoey's top lip, rather than the hillbilly Beardmore look.

I've been thinking a bit more about the Bulls fans' indignation.

How much tax payers' money was given to the Bulls by Bradford Council when they moved back to Odsal from Valley Parade so the Council could buy themselves out of their obligations under the lease, like, you know, Carnegie have bought themselves out of the obligations from their ownership of the RU Club?

I feel, as an indignant tax payer* that I have the right to know.

As fewer indignant Bulls fans are visiting this forum and answering our questions I'll pop over there and post this.


*Not really.

Me too, though mine was more of a hairy bogey.

They'll need some nice blazers and white trousers for the judges, and then there's the cost of hiring the sports hall from the local council, you know how expensive they can be and you cant book it more than seven days in advance either, must be a nightmare when you're trying to arrange a world championship

Sorry but ya well wide of the mark, I felt that if you wanna slag teams off fans from that team should get a say?
A forum is a discussion from all views not just the one you wanna hear!!

A damn sight less than what they were paying when Bradford council paid for the up keep of the stadium!

So Bradford Council used tax payers money to pay to the Bradford Bulls in order that the council could minimize future liabilities. Reminds me of what Leeds Carnegie have done with the payment to Leeds Rugby in relation to the Rugby Union Club.

Surely not??
There will be a public outcry all over bradford,there will be protest marches and threads galore across the Fans forums stating their disgust throughout the internet!!

Was this before or after they levelled the City , only to realise they didn't have anything to replace it with?

A vast improvement it is aswell!

Strange that it bothers them now it's Leeds benefitting isnt it?

Surely not hypocrisy on the Dulls part?

Well your just as dirty as us then

As McLaren said much earlier up the thread strange it didn't bother them when all these deals were originally being done.

Not at all, Hetherington has to make the books look clean, otherwise they would look like you made a loss last year

selling of assests aside

Oh, so this is now about Leeds profitability rather than use of tax payers money by Carnegie?

Let me summarise the point the hypocritical, embittered Bulls fans wish to make.

"Ummm, leeds very bad, Bulls very good, ummmm".

Its about making Leeds look bad and Bradford look great!

Anyway its very rare we get to use the moral high ground!
