A big presumption there, that you will make the top four to form the middle 8. You will have a new squad against established championship sides, eager for a crack at super dooper league. Not going to be easy for you, albeit I wish you the best of luck.

Meh ,In the words of Kevin Keegan "I would love it" if that happens,just love it.

I bloody wouldn't

Well Salford won, so the equation is now very simple - if we lose against Huddersfield next week then we are relegated

obviously a lot of our fans will love it next weekend, and no doubt i will have a little chuckle myself IF we win, but also as a rl fan i can see it will be good for bradford northern to go down/rebuild and come back stronger, rather than struggle at the bottom...the game needs strong teams from hull/yorkshire/lancashire and good local derbies

It's already over and done with, which game it is mathematically certain has little interest to me to be honest.

The blessing is that we have known for a good few weeks now so I would hope plans for next year and already fairly well advanced.

At least there will be an end to those interminable and - frankly - ludicrous stories in the T&A with players lining up to say that we are going to avoid relegation.

Anyone know if we'll be playing under the current championship points system or is it going to be the same as SL?

I dunno. I didn't know they were still running that bonus point system tbh

London's stay in the top flight has ended today as they went down away at Warrington 72-12.

We will probably be joining them next weekend. Relegation party at the last game of the season?

I wouldn't want to give some of the divvies satisfaction in seeing us wailing and gnashing teeth. So some sort of wry or joyful goodbye to 40 years at the top would be good.

40 years at the top ? Hows that work then.

There I go again with my cryptic comments. Almost impenetrable in meaning.

Clear as mud.

Bradford have been in the top division for last 40 years....

I don't get the joke. On the unlikely off chance that you are being serious...

"40 years" is a length of time. To put it in laymans terms, it is how old you will be in 24 years time.

"At the top" could, if you were being almost incalculably obtuse, mean bradford have won the league for 40 straight years. Or it could mean that is the duration of time that has elapsed since bradford were in the second flight.

How did you manage to decipher my fiendish riddle?!!

An IQ high than that of a potted plant?
