A loan which was repaid by them taking on a lease which will become a massive millstone if there is no SL club to play in the stadium.

Personally I think the RFL have acted stupidly getting involved at all, opening themselves up to all sorts of accusations and allegations from other RL clubs about their actions and motives. That there are Bradford fans who are doing so is quite bizarre, they're probably now wishing that instead of buying the lease to try to cover up their secret loan they'd just got a winding up order issued instead.

Would it not make sense for some sort of agreement between all parties? If Khan gets the nod he will surely be looking at ways to maximise the use of the stadium?

I think this is the best way forward. I would probably go and watch BPA as well if they moved to Odsal.

I think too much is being read into the YP article.

The way I read it, the other SL clubs have all agreed that SL should remain a 14 club competition and have been updated on the progress of the bids for the Bulls.

There doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the Bulls WILL be in SL next year, and I suspect that if there isn't a business plan that addresses the historic debts then the Bulls will lose their licence.

the Jamie Langley article in the tna today confirms RDMs interpretation, that one obstacle is out the way whatever else remains

Fingers crossed eh?
