In fairness it's no more weak and tedious as Dulls, Odslum, Whinos, Stains, Bobbins, Gnats or any other "hilarious" fauxdian slip nickname.

Yes, weeks ago they said they were definitely doing it and it was all going ahead. Yesterday they say they're still considering whether or not to go ahead. If it was the other way round, fine, but this about face way just means they shouldn't bother. If they can't get their story straight on this then they'll collapse like a paper house in a typhoon in court.

Everything that's been happening at the club over the last 2 years has driven crowds of fans away. The MD coming out and trying to put the emphasis on the remaining loyal fans to get the crowds back is a slap in the face.

Oh and I see London have signed up ANOTHER player for next year while the Bulls haven't announced signing one. All we get are "The coach would like to keep these players" or "This player wants to stay even if we go down". Vagaries and passing the buck just like we've had for the past 2 years. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Saw her drinking tea with Rita in cartmel High St last week

apologies if I upset you Ivor

thanks R2. the wording of the first one was as I thought, eg "if and when proceedings are issued" near the end. so nothing guaranteed. I read yesterdays statement as an update simply to confirm that it had not been quietly dropped.

On a nice summer's day, no better way to spend a sunny afternoon than Cartmel races. Haven't actually tried their tea though if I'm honest.

In fact they have a meeting tomorrow though I'm working so no chance. But I'd recommend it highly.

Gentlemans agreement blah blah blah, illegal approach blah blah blah. Why does it always revert back to the Giants when someone mentions relegation or court case or points reduction. Was there a gentlemans agreement to pay all the creditors back were/are owed money by the Bradford Bulls? Then there's the OK Bulls shambles. The people responsible for the you are in are much much closer to home than Koppy or Ken Davey or the Huddersfield Giants. Its about time the Bulls fans actually accepted that Bradford Bulls or whichever name they are trading under nowadays are the ones resposible for the mess they are in and the buck stops firmly with them!!!

Are you feeling guilty, because in my experience those that protest too much, have the most to hide??
Unless you know all the circumstances, please keep your nose out of our business We don't actually need your opinion or your advice we have had enough to last a lifetime. In the words of a number of famous people " We will be back!"

When you drag my clubs name thru the mud it becomes my business. The Giants or anyone associated with them had nothing to do with the you are in, about time all Bulls fans realised this and stopped trying to pass the blame off. You may well bounce back so stick with your club and focus on them rather than looking to blame others.

Past your bedtime.

translated to answer to everything when dont get the answer you want to hear. night

There you go again, who's blamed you? Every other SL club took £100k of our central distribution share, so what makes you special? Yes we know about the Kop situation, so don't feel guilty about that. You may have paid us a token amount, due to embarrassment, but don't think anymore about it.
As for dragging your clubs name through the mud, can we also leave that to you. I can't remember anyone having a go at the Giants, you personally perhaps, but you lead with your chin, don't you?

Your club illegally terminated a player's contract so that they could open enough salary cap space to allow them to illegally approach one of our players.

That's solid fact and you attempting to take the moral high ground against Bradford just makes you look incredibly stupid.

Terminated players contract yup, paid for it in court but didnt bring Bradford into it or try pass the blame to anyone else unlike other clubs!! Illegal approach nah a gentlemans agreement doesnt constitute an illegal approach in my eyes anyway. Now wheredo we start with the Bulls a club who have done no wrong? broke salary cap when winning trophies? left creditors out of pocket by winding up the company and taking new name? twice!!!! Cant say the debts die with the old club but all the assets transfer. Firms would do it weekly

Maybe you need to have a read thru your forum if you think your fans havent dissed the Giants!!

Oh my god grow up!! I've a lot of time for Huddersfield and their fans, but people like you are just pathetic and an embarrassment to the club.

:1mtgj1ek

Actually, firms :1mtgj1ekdo grandfather always used to say, "there are worse things happen at sea". Good luck for the play-offs.

Anyway, appeal now officially called off.

Ha! Fat chance

Genuine question. In the interview I have read it was stated they thought they had a really strong case, but they have dropped it as not wanting to spend money on the past (I am paraphrasing) I always thought if the bulls had won then costs would have been paid by RFL?
Is that correct

Basically, yes, although usually it won't cover all the actual costs, by some margin.

Thanks that clears it up. I was thinking that they didn't have a case at all as if the other side pay the costs they might as well have gone for it. But that makes sense no point being out of pocket when the money could be used for next year.

Would be interested to know what grounds they were going for in the appeal. States the initial appeal was through flawed RFL policy and the second was legally incorrect?

Apparently we are going to use the money to appeal the decision on the Joynt tackle

like!!!

Reads to me as if they are satisfied to stir the RFL up into reviewing their club insolvency procedures, but havent got much support from the other RFL clubs (who all have sugar daddies so no issue for them (until their sugar daddy dies of a heart attack and the widow says I want my money) so quite rightly want to focus on whats on the table in front of them. More props, hopefully.

Amen,
Can we talk about something else now.

Anyway good luck next yeaqr and I hope you come straight back up.
