Regarding the change, it was just poor planning/management by the RFL. However the changes are much fairer as the team that finished first in the championship for 2 SL teams at home to originally having 1. Was just poor planning the RFL were so late in making the changes.

Anywhere which ever teams don't go up, it's because they weren't good enough on the field, not because of the fixtures.

It shouldn't be this Saturday if the Bulls are coming then eh?

Depends. What's your capacity these days?

In fairness to the OP, the players Boycotted Wakefield today too.

I'm glad I did boycott and not just because of the rubbish served up on the field.

Being on the receiving end of bottle throwing and racist chanting isn't my idea of fun.

Before people come out with the its a minority of fans line that just lets them off the hook. The Sky cameras picked up the chants as they did when they played cas, as they picked up the saints fans with blood pouring down their faces and the cameras picked up the flares launched onto the field at Cas.
Suspended fines clearly don't work so I'm expecting some action this time.

If they also leave belle Vue for the Tetley's stadium will they be doing building work so that it meets the Superleague criteria? Probably expecting special treatment again from the RFL letting them have special dispensation aa they did with belle che when they first came into superleague.

That would call for an open letter or a dog turd through a letter box of a sanctimonious pratt in sandal!

I wonder how many of these things you'd have been so up in arms about had you won the game like you all expected to do?
I'm not condoning the behaviour of some of our fans, I'd rather we didn't have them, but all clubs do unfortunately. But there is a distinct case of sour grapes here because we turned up for an important game and your guys didn't.

"I'm not condoning their behaviour but..." . You stay classy! I've emailed Blake Solly and pointed where on the DVD the chanting is clearly heard.

The rest is up to him.

The problem for Wakey is that the racist chanting just helps to perpetuate the stereotype. With such small crowds surely it must be a priority to deal with it or it will drive decent fans away. I suppose that if money is tight then maybe getting rid of the undesirables would reduce income.
The whole experience is pretty grim at Belle Vue.......especially when you lose.

I've not idea what is happening regarding payments for hosting sky games. However, the RFL are terrible wen it comes to implementing these new ideas. In what other sport would nobody know the format or who you play at what venue until about 3 weeks beforehand. This should be fully explained and structured before the season so everyone is clear that finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in Championship results in this fixtures

Trinity sent packing the championship lol

Sorry. I've just assumed this has been a standard MBBB windup thread for the past 10 days, so I've been ignoring it and waiting for someone to go "Whooooosh!"

As it's still going, do I need to start taking it seriously now?

No.

I showed solidarity with brother MBBB. Did it pay off?

Can I shock you all?

I like Wakefield.

A lovely walk around the sculpture park - or if it's raining the Hepworth or Coal Mining Museum - , dinner at the Cow Shed, a couple of post dinner pints at Harry's bar, before catching a John Godber play at the Theatre Royal. Then on it up Westgate to pick up some gash.

Seriously though I hope they get their ground sorted as it would be a crying shame if the club have to leave the city and another example of how money is not always a good thing in sport.

It would be pretty disgraceful if the council allow this to happen in my opinion. Rather than pityful offers to BOI for Belle Vue being leaked to the press I want to read about Yorkcourt and the council building a new ground.

The irony of a Bradford Bulls Supporter complaining about another Club's Stadium.

You're only jealous 'cos your stadium's not iconic..

Ours is pretty rubbish but can't expect much on a subsidised peppercorn rent.

[iActually[/i....I think it's the RFL which pays the peppercorn rent, whilst I think ours is quite substantial, though clearly worth every penny in such an iconic ground..

It will be once it's built though

Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect £200.

just back of my hols and it was a shame I couldn't open the gate for you and saved the effort

That would of been appreciated, but using hindsight it might not of been
