| Good Luck guys, lets hope this works out for the Bulls.
Hopefully the "would be" investors have been playing "poker" to keep the price down and ensure that they can take the club on with new management.

Except reassurances were being given about the security of the club, so why should Bulls fans worry? I don't remember many fans of other clubs predicting this situation.

| Nothing is certain anymore, can't be sure how long we have left.
Having to sell my Stone Roses tickets for friday which i've been looking forward to for months, but I can't miss the match now.
Depressing day for Bulls fans.

I expect rumours to fly around, but at minute - Bateman (Warrington), Whitehead (Warrington / Leeds), Kopzcak (Leeds), Gale (Castleford), Addy (Castleford), Elima (Hull FC / Catalan), Crookes (Hull FC), Donaldson (Hull KR), Burgess (South Sydney).

| Good luck Bradford.
Of course as a Fax fan i jest and like to have banter with the Bulls lot. But the reason i do it is because i remember the days when we did it at games (and in pubs before/after games) and not behind a keyboard!
i hope to have the chance to take part in this 'banter' again when both our great clubs are in the top league.

But surely with clubs at the limits of their salary caps (Ahem) none of these players can be playing until next season anyway?

Not surprised to see top of your list, hoping to be proven right so badly.

| Sorry to hear the news, Bulls fans. Must be a miserable day for you.
I hope an investor/some investors will step in soon.

Correct, however the players could be sold on now and then loaned back to the Bulls for the rest of this season. I would sincerely hope that it doesn't come to that. I suspect that investors were waiting for the club to go into administration before making a concrete move.

| Sad news about Bradford they were the first team i went to see as my uncle used to take me.
The only good thing is that a new proper start might be better than going through the lingerring pain and uncertainty there has been for a while now.

A very sad day for Bradford and RL in general.
No self respecting RL fan can take any pleasure in this announcement.

Thanks, but you clearly haven't seen our fev friends on the other thread...
I just hope this isn't the tip of an iceberg, its bad for us, but it seems to be mostly our own bad management/luck/circumstance/whatever, I hope the rumours about other clubs being in trouble are just that, rumours.
Also, if you could keep it to a 2 figure score on Friday out of pity we'd appreciate it

| I'm reeling a bit.
So basically - we have a points deduction already for going into admin, so the season is gone whatever?
In ten days, if no money is found - then what? The gates are closed and that's it?

Nonsense. At the tesco till, do you volunteer more cash for the items you think are too much of a bargain, then?
The fans were entitled to believe that the club had done its sums right at the various levels of pricing, and anyway, the vast majority of the buyers HAVE paid a "full" price when you add up season ticket price + pledge.

| I've not read all of the posts and am not aware of the finer detail - but from an outsiders point of view Peter Hood and Co. have a lot to answer for.
How the amount needed was £1m, with 500k immediately required turns into a figure of £1.7m is beyond me.
The people who have donated so generously for the 500k must feel very let down by Hood and Co.

You could say that, not just Hood, with all of them and their lies.

Yes. About 100 people (or so) lose their jobs and the gates are shut.

Pretty much yes. Whatever happens over the coming weeks and the future beyond that the important thing is that us Bulls fans stick together.
I've had too many good times and met too many nice people through supporting this club to go out with anything other than a smile on my face.

| If the worst does happen, I hope the players manage to find new clubs though. Feel for them aswell, fans and players are the innocent ones here and we get dealt the worst hand.

through it all like most people on this board I just wanted to support my team.
There will be news in the next few days that has proved some of us right again, there will be no administration thanks to a benefactor (not investor, that's important), there will be breathing space for the club to move forward and shape itself anew with homegrown talent at the fore.
So as I've said before time to get behind everyone at the club and move forward, I'm running with the Bulls cos we're really gonna be alright!'"
And...?

| Well, this could be the first ever sports club admin that ends up with no successor club, in whatever format and at whatever level, but I somehow doubt it.
Whatever it turns out to be, I doubt I'll like it.
