| Quote ="paulwalker71"Of course it can
Its true that Richard Lewis did indeed say that SL licenses could be revoked during the licence period, and the RFL now have that decision to make. Indeed, they need to make it within the next week, as the consortium looking to take over the Bulls will need to know that BEFORE they commit.
I fully expect the RFL to meet before July 27th and make exactly that decision, together with the expected points deduction. Then the consortium can make an informed choice. I assume they'll pull the plug if the SL license is revoked, but frankly I don't expect that to happen'"
Must admit I dont understand the process for coming out of Administration. If the 27th is the deadline for the investors, BG and the RFL to make their decisions, at what point could HRMC scupper everything as they did with Rangers?

Any arrangement would also need HMRC to go along with it, as majority creditor.

If, as believed, they, by default, reject anything other than full payment of liabilities then can anyone see any deal being approved?

No. But Guilfoyle will have a couple of extra weeks worth of fees.

| Quote ="redtillimdead"It's a blood y outrage. I'm sorry but you should be allowed to fold, I am fed up of our pathetic ruling body falling over backwards to help some clubs whilst others are left to die!
Lessons will only be learnt should Bradford Bulls be left to fall down, then at least the shock wave from the resulting crash maybe acted upon.
The money dished out to you is from the other clubs pockets, they put it there and they will lose it.
We wouldn't be losing anything too good anyway, dropping crowds, a decaying ground and a bashed up boardroom all spell disaster in the not to distant future if not imminently.
The only people I feel for are the fans, the ones that turn up every week and cheer on their club.
Sorry but to me this is a sham. To me you should RIP.
If there are enough true fans than the club will rebuild and find its place again.'"
Dear Mr Tillimded - please close the door on your way out.

Last year Bradford Vs Quins drew a crowd of 12,354.

| Quote ="childofthenorthern"In which case what's the point of having a licence for 3 years if it can be removed at any time?
I understood Wakefield's potential investors were asking about the future licencing process, i.e the 3 year licence period we are currently in, which at the time they entered admin was a few months in the future. If that is the case then clearly the RFL couldn't say they would have given a licence but in the Bull's case the question is one of continuing with our existing licence.
Given that it looks like we just got lucking with the timing of going bust which is insane
'"
I'm with you on that. "Can our franchise continue" is different to "can we have a franchise in June".

? You drew more last year than this year = decreasing crowd on the same fixture from last year. That doesn't equate to growing crowds does it?

I didn't say it did (FWIW, the 2011 crowd was up on the 2010 one vs quins). I presume you were having that discusion with someone else, I was just pointing out that a +10k crowd at Odsal for a fixture with London and no away fans is not just just because of our situation, as you implied.

Yes, I just wondered how that process worked. Will BG be having ongoing discussions with them or does he have to wait until the deal's done? Can HMRC respond quickly in these situations? And what happens during the void whilst they're making their mind up and we have matches to play?

1.) Seen as I was quoting Ferocious Aardvark, yes it would seem that I was having a discussion with someone else.
2.) I disagree. Hence my first post.

1) but you then quoted my fact which had no opinion and asked a question.
2) you're wrong, hence my fact. If a 10k crowd vs London was just because of our situation, we wouldn't have had a 12k+ last year vs London when we had no such situation and were playing worse.
Anyway, this is pointless and going off topic, so lets leave it.

| That may not be represented by the volume of posts on here, but most rugby league fans (and all the ones I know personally) want the Bulls to continue and play an important role in Super League.

Yes it is off topic.
1.) You quoted me, am I not allowed a right to reply? That's how forums work!
2.) Look at my original post/question.

Hang on Bets`y - Many Non Bulls Fans are/were very much in support of the clubs survival but remember it sets a very dangerous precedent as most of the other clubs are also heavily in debt.
If there is a guarantee for any purchaser to buy a SL club without debt AND the surety that it would stay in SL then I can think of another 6 clubs already which would love to take that route!
Could prove very expensive for the RFL/Sky etc as the HMRC would be the major creditor in all the Administrations to follow.
As a game we are very near the cliff edge.
