Is this true?
If so with the help that has been shown there MUST be a future for a pro RL team in Bradford in one form or another.

I wouldn't bank on it yet. The totals so far I saw being banded about this morning were of the order of 50k. Plenty of time yet, but that's 1/20th of the total needed.

Widnes chairman Steve O'Connor has donated £10,000 to boost the survival hopes of Super League rivals Bradford.
The beleaguered Bulls say they need £500,000 by next Friday in order to pay a looming tax bill and avoid the threat of administration.
O'Connor's donation, out of his own pocket, has helped take the total of pledges past the £100,000-mark and closer to the £1million the club say they need by the end of April to guarantee their survival.
"Steve rang me to offer his support for the situation we find ourselves in - but also to say he wanted to pledge an enormous sum of £10,000," Bradford chairman Peter Hood told the Telegraph & Argus.
"Steve spoke eloquently at length about the rugby league community and how we are all in this together.
"He talked of the outstanding contribution that the Bradford Bulls have made to the game and he wants that to continue.
"His heartfelt and extremely generous contribution epitomises the response we have had from throughout the game."

pledges like Mr O'Connors make supporters want to travel to Widnes to pay some of that back.

Genuine question as I don't know the answer. I am sure some have made pledge at the time caught up in wanting to save their club (understandable) and pledged more they can afford. And paying a month later circumstances change. Stuff breaks needs replacing etc...
Is the pledge commit you to the amount stated or can you just back out and not pay?

It is probably not legally binding. And besides if people don't pay up, there will be noone left to chase you for it! |

Steve O'Connor is a genuine RL fan, who saved Widnes. From people I know who know him, he is a pretty decent guy.
And he sure just showed that again.
Thank you Mr O'Connor. That was a wonderful gesture.
AND...do you think guys like him would be dibbing-in if they did not believe the story? The guy is, after all, nobody's fool.

| A nice gesture indeed. I hope you return the favour by lettins us nil you over easter
I jest of course, the situation you find yourselves is one we know too well. And I do feel for you! It is entirely startling to see how far you have fallen in the past 4-5 years. The bulls & smellins back in the day, top dogs! Nobody could hold a light to Bradford at one point. Very sad the way things have turned out. Although do not lose all sense of hope, we stuck with it, and achieved SL status after four years of torment. Keep fighting.
PS Hope to see a few of you at the stobart in a few weeks. |
