You'd call a boycott over something so trivial?
Maybe the Giants need the money themselves? Maybe they are more reticent of passing money into a black hole than the other clubs? Maybe since then the situation has shifted and now such acts are no longer warranted?

Moreover, can the Bradford Bulls really afford to alienate any chairmen of their fellow SL clubs - when SLE is offering to save the Bulls where no one else (realistically) would do?

Rugby League isnt such a big sport it can fight amongst itself, and Bradford clearly not such a big club it can afford to alienate the fans of clubs nearest to them.

Just to confirm i was not suggesting Huddersfield give us money -not at all what widnes, leeds and warrington did was hugely generous and massively appreciated but not taken for granted. If the normal thing for all clubs is to send tickets across with an early purchase price and club recieves 10% for selling these tickets as commision this is not the same as us demanding gate money? I was unaware the rfl had asked not to send tickets over as opposed to huddersfield refusing to sell tickets, but that was not the only point of my post - there were two other things i mentioned.

1. we could stay away from a club that is being hinted at wanting rid of us and put the money towards paying off a debt.

2. we could utilise the obvious lack of say between 2-3k travelling support to show what would be missed when we are out of super league because lets be honest certain teams offer little in terms of away support and three thousand concessions is better than the likes of catalan and london bring (understandably).

Admittedly my post was rash but it had been brought up by a poster on another topic and I wanted to see what feelings were.

I saw 2 possibilities for them not selling tickets through the Bulls.
1 - They had been advised by the RFL not to so as to avoid giving more money to the administrator prior to any SLE take over, which seems a sensible move and in that situation I can't see any Bulls fan having a problem with that.
2 - The other option was that this was a way of the Giants expressing their unhappyness with the takeover. Given they voted for this maybe they should have objected then and issued a press statement explaining their position. In the absence of that it just looks like giving us a kick when we're down.

Of course you introduced another option that the Giants are struggling a bit and need the money themselves

Or option 3.

Boss eyed and bitter bulls fans need a new scapegoat...

Nah we've got Caisley, Hood, Bennett and the RFL already. The list is full so you don't qualify this time. Please feel free to reapply later.

Lets keep powder dry till something formal is said on this, eh? All hearsay right now.

That doesn't even make sense as a response to:

Wouldn't the ten percent on sales made now just go to the administrator? Where as once the deal with SLE has been done the 10% would go back to the club?

It's make sense to do it that way.

Still that won't get any bites off wound up Baracuda Eagles fans.

Sorry Child of Northern should have looked up the page.

Since I actually bothered to look it up now, it can only be either with the approval of the RFL or the Bulls didn't request any tickets. Operational rules A3:24 a and b require up to 10% of the ticket to be made available at the request of the away club and A3:24 d sets out the penalties applied if the home club fail to provide tickets.

It's =#800080you're, you inbred, school dodging dullard.

PS, it's normal practice to leave a space after commas and two after a full stop.

I'll be glad when the school holidays are over.....

And here comes the pedant. I bet he writes texts with perfect punctuation and grammar. Why when people can't add anything to a debate do they suddenly start correcting people's English?
As a teacher I don't worry about my grammar on a forum any more than I'd not use slang in a conversation. Time and a place. It really doesn't matter FGS- we all actually know what he meant!

lets hope you can bring more than 500 this time

Quite why I am bothering posting this but hey

Yes go on boycott the Giants and don't come to the game. That's a wise thing to do - oh hang on if you read the Giant's website you'll see why its better to turn up and support your team.

'GIANTS TO BOOST BULLS HARDSHIP FUND' Read it on the Giants website if you can be bothered.

More than 500?, so that would be about 400 more than your lot bring to Odsal then.

Dear god! here we go again

Big increase on previous years so for many of you it would have been the first time.

Fantastic gesture. Thank you.

Hey, who deleted my post without warning?

tsk

oh look ...we held tickets back to give you MORE than the 10% we should instead !!!!! i hope you do boycott it because it means that your horrible, scrounging club with its cocky, arrogant fans have less money coming to you and will hopefully allow it to die quicker......people have often asked me why i have no sympathy towards your plight and i think some of the e posted on hear gives a good enough reason !.

PS: i really do feel sorry for the genuine 'Northern' fans that are still around and having to go through trying to save your club again, 'Bulls' fans though can take a running jump for me - jumped on the bandwagon and ALWAYS had a stinking attitude towards my club and others and for those i have nothing but bad feelings.

Now now Daz, calm down. This thread was done and dusted

Told you.

Listen to your Uncle Adey, eh?

Shows why it's good to keep your powder dry until the facts are out.

Great gesture from another SL club. Thank you uncle Davy

Jumped the gun here a bit, think the OP owes an apology.

I think looking back at the posts Hi Di Hi suggested the boycott. Hey ho gone a bit quiet although not unsurprising that a small few haven't got the good grace to acknowledge what a decent jesture it is. Personally I do find ADEYBULL's posts a very interesting read on the Bulls situation.
