Appeal hearing is from 2pm - 6pm today. So you can hold off on your twitter refreshes for now

Nope. Wrong.

Neither will the GDP of Botswana. Can you tell us who said it did or would, though?

Wrong. In specific circumstances OKB did indeed have liability.



Bless.

You expect them to leave West Yorkshire?

There is a new visa waiver scheme in place, but you have to pass a basic English test

Dear Omar - how will you get all 17,000 Wakey fans in your restaurant ? you must be looking at multiple sittings surely ?

Poor old Danny Kirmond

What time is the appeal verdict ?? Good luck.

We've got NGB4C, we don't need another one, so I suggest you turn your allegiance to a more local outfit - although I don't think Keighley deserve a fan like you. What I'm trying to say is that even if you weren't such a facetious **** you wouldn't be welcome.

You're not from around these parts, are ya son?

good luck from me as well guys hope you get all 6 back

Not bothered if the Bulls get 6 or not I am not in melt down if everything is found to be above board great 6 back time to do it where it counts on the pitch.

shame im not allowed to post on your board
I didn't aim my comment at wakefield or any of your supporters I couldn't care less if you are in meltdown or not tbh.
I just came to say good luck to the bulls lot on there appeal but a happy outcome for me would be all 6 back and you lot down

at one sitting.

Nice photo from the Wheldon Road stand there, thanks for sharing it. You can't see the six fingers though - shame.

Exactly, if an independant appeal board, after considering all the evidence, [iexplain [/iwhy the result is upholding the 6 or giving some or all the points back I (and I suspect most Bulls fans) will accept the outcome whichever way it goes.

You appear to be equally open to whatever the outcome is, and good on you - like you say it should hopefully be decided on the pitch after an independant panel ratify or overturn the deduction. But as we all know there are plenty who have already decided what the outcome should be irrespective of the details they are not privy to, just to suit their own agenda or wish for our further punishment/demise.

The key will be that whatever the decision is it needs to be explained publically, in full, and thats the bit I worry about most.

The best thing about Rugby League is the fans.

@OfficialBullsRL: (1/2) An independent Sporting Sanctions Appeal Panel today heard evidence prepared of behalf of Bradford Bulls. The panel has requested...

@OfficialBullsRL: (2/2)...further, supportive information and is to decide on the outcome of the appeal in due course.

Sounds positive......

We now just need to show them the e-mails from Solly and the fat man saying that we should go into admin, and the RFL won't give us a points deduction!

What timescale does 'in due course' means?. Days, weeks, months?.

When it is mathematically impossible for us to survive even with all six back.

Pretty much what I was thinking TBH.

Why would they not provide the evidence in the first place?
You would think they would take everything they were basing the appeal on wouldn't you?

But then it's the Bulls after all...

It's an "independent" panel don't forget, that would never happen. Really.

I think you will find it is quite clear that Ok had to repay central funding if OK Bulls suffered an insolvency event within 2 years. This was key to funds that were only to be paid in year 2 of the licence term being brought forward into year 1 at OK's request.
