I do know I have read and listened to interviews our board are cutting the cloth so we don't end up like the bulls and if other rumours are to be true the millionaire egyptian is going to be taking over, rovers will go back a couple of seasons to be able to go forward and I'm all for it

| And i dont have any issue with that at all! Hence my origianl post in which you quoted! It was not an attack on your team it was a view into the fact petty arguing between fans help no one!
I hold no bad feeling towards any other team and i travel to the majority of away games i can get to and enjoy the game!

Sorry? Where has anyone said they did not recognise and appreciate the generosity of others?

Sorry? What has this to do with the allegations of the RFL giving us handouts?
Quote ="jools" I began to regret my generosity just afterwards when we had the rubbish thrown towards our club regarding incorrect information about ticket sales. '"
Sorry? What on earth are you talking about?
Quote ="jools"Some of you would do well to recognise that if it wasn't for the generosity of people also outside the bulls also then you might not be in a position to be do ungrateful about it. Please show some humility- you can bet that any rallying cry will be largely ignored of it should happen again.'"
Sorry? See my earlier point. We are reacting to those who come on here in a state of heightened apoplexy, insulting us and making it clear that they were looking forward to seeing us booted out. Usually in their own self-interest. Sometimes for reasons that only they seem to understand. What this has to do with the generous and appreciated help earlier from the wider RL community I fail to see? We fans are blameless, and are all too aware that our club ended up in this state through the actions and inactions of others - and in particular, the conduct of a scandalous set of major shareholders who put their internal petty squabbles ahead of everything else. But we are hardly going to lie down and take it when some people come on here attacking the fans, totally unreasonably, for things that were not in any way our fault.
Quote ="jools"And as far as I'm aware the majority of Wakefield debts were paid, they bit the bullet and sold some assets.'"
Sorry? By whom? How much did HMRC receive? Glover paid off some smaller local creditors, as I recall? And how much TV money were you denied as a result? Wait till you see what happens to us on that score before you start throwing stones on THAT score.
Now, was there anything factual you wanted to have a sensible debate about?

Who said anything about clubs' self-interest? I was referring to some who come on here ranting off.
Did you rail in the same way against London, Crusaders, Wakefield, Widnes, HKR and all the other clubs that have gone to the wall?
Will you rail in the same way about those that WILL go to the wall?
Did you rail against your OWN club over the infamous "merger" with the Egales? Or the infamous "merger" of Gateshead and Hull? DID YOU?????
The strange thing abouyt all this is that we have heard virtually nothing from those clubs who have NOT been through some form of insolvency or bailout in recent years. yet they are the ones who you would expect to have a legitimate grievance. Don't think any of us are fooled by all this "good of the game" bollox - it is as clear as day that its the green-eyed monster rearing its head. Folk are comparing it with how they perceive THEIR club was treated. Well we can play at that too - why were we not treated the same way as London and Wakefield?
As for your own club, I suggest some saw it as very much IN your interest if we fell over. Despite the huge amounts that Davy has poured in, the people of Huddersfield have STILL not turned out in the numbers he must have expected, and the performances on the park have STILL fallen well short. Maybe the prospect of picking off our academy and fans, and having less local competition, appealed to some?

Are you ill? Seriously?
I am not "railing" at anyone or anything. It's all in your own mind.
What I am saying is this. It is in no-one's interest who cares about RL in general for ANY club to go tits up. It makes us all look bad & robs us all of income.
Read my post again & attempt to curb your ridiculous persecution complex. You accuse other fans of belittling your club whilst adopting the same tactics in defending your own.
Grow up.

| And you read MY posts again. We have had a string of unwarranted nasty and personal attacks all evening from a handful of individuals who have no justification for such tirades against us fans. You would n ot take siuch cräp lying down; neither should we be expected to. If anyone is ill or is suffering from a persecution complex it is they.
I ask again - did you express yourself in just the same way over all the other insolvencies and bailouts? Or is it just because it is us? If the former, then you are in the minority as far as I can see.

A lot of sorrys there, are you apologising for you inability to grasp what others are saying? Or just your inability to accept it?
1st - there were no allegations of RFL handouts- just handouts- which were not only gratefully received but begged for. As for the statement that the bulks fans are blameless! So up yours is blameless is it? Accusing our chairman of refusing to give tickets, voting against the bulls, and conspiring to bring down the bulls without evidence is blameless? The fans didn't cause the financial problems- but some of them have behaved in a terrible way- so why then be shocked when you are treated terribly back.
I can see I'm wasting my time with the likes of you who think you can behave as you like but everyone else is the terrible one.
I'm truly torn as for the grateful bulls fans I wish all the best, but for some as you well...

You need professional help son. You've lost it.
Don't bother responding, I don't care what your ridiculous sense of faux outrage /injustice has to say on the matter.
P.S. All the best to the GENUINE Bradford fans on here.

Now that is BULL!!!
If you loved Rugby League you would be glad that a team has survived rather than attacking it at all costs.
Your club is apparently on the verge of going tits up, yet I would dream of going on your clubs board and spouting vile taunts.
The club has been saved and the RFL have seen fit to place them in Super League... what the feck has that got to do with us fans? Did we cause the clubs demise? Did we not pay all the businesses the money they're owed.... answer is NOPE!!!

| SL at the moment is a shakey pyramid and if Bradford fell out it could cause a domino effect (I like mixed metaphors!) with the likes of KR. Cas and Salford falling over in the not to distant future. The RFL are buying time by keeping the Bulls in SL in the hope a possible financial crisis within the SL can be staved off.
It would be interesting to see the losses other Clubs have had in recent seasons, and how much their respective owners have bankrolled them.
Perhaps they are hoping that OK being an Asian Businessman will find a different way to keep the Club in profit and then use that Model!

No problem with you thinking we should have been thrown out. That's your opinion. List is those posters who've been positively gloating over our troubles.

| I agree. I have zero problem with fans who have the opinion that we shouldn't be in superleague. They are entitled to that opinion, though I personally disagree.
That's a completely seperate arguement from those that came on here expressing delight at the idea of Bradford not even existing. I found that attitude so repellant that, for some of them, I issued a ban.

| As well as those, the ones that got me were those who claimed to be taking the moral high ground, but in fact were so clearly mad at what the perceived as our club being treated more favourably than theirs. Rightly or wrongly, and they should wait to see what Sky and RFL money we get compared to other clubs first, but then proceeded to take their anger out on and personally insult our fans. That was both unwarranted and unjustified.
You will see one or two of them now somewhat backtracking, having been shown up, and now claiming it is only fans like me who challenged them who are arrogant/ungrateful/ selfish/thick/insane/guilty of mass murder/caused global warming/whatever. Doubtless the majority of readers, less prone to flying off the handle when they don't get the result they wanted, will form their own conclusions.
