For reasons that will become apparent in the coming days and weeks ahead.

And when it doesn't become apparent, as usually happens with your cryptic statements?

I can't be doing with the cryptic messages, statements. If there is something to say, say it or don't bother saying anything at all. Not aimed at you HamsterChops

Right there with you. Unfortunately this is the opposite of Mick's excellent commentary. Whilst there is no questioning his superb abilities with the microphone for BCB and other stations, he is bloody terrible when it comes to putting cryptic messages like this up, or even sometimes not so cryptic, that turn out to be total b0llocks. He's like a human Yin & Yang symbol.

| Hi everyone. I'm in Menorca. I've been in the sea and now having a very cold lager in the sun. I can see the sea shimmering blue just over the road. Does that help at all?

Look at the sport in general.
York City Knights facing extinction without the RFL putting money in.
Workington Town and Featherstone Rovers needing to raise money to survive.
There's a lot of club's struggling to survive under the current structure of the 23 round split.
The game is on borrowed time.

Neville's gaff up Alwoodley must be worth about £750k. Mortgage rates are low at the moment.

| Toronto have just confirmed the signing of Steve Crossley for 2017.
A shame really, I thought he went well for us when he got his chances and he was probably near the top of the charts for offloads.

| He was alright against the lesser lights. Not sure if he was that good against the better teams. Bit of an oil tanker when it came to footwork.
That said he did have a good offload.
We're gonna need some new props.

Trouble is you put that up and it gets around social media that the club is in trouble. Everyone panics.
It didn't help that at the same time some gob e on Yorkshire radio with Garry Schofield and the useless team on BBC Radio Leeds started speculating about Bradford's financial position - again! It's the go to subject for the poor poor standard of broadcaster on those channels to fill up dead air time.

Couldn't agree more. I do feel the club should release a statement when Green is back from Ibiza

Schofield revels in our demise. He's a nasty piece of work. Radio Leeds - clue in the name.

| I don't mind Radio Leeds. In fact, I thought Phil Caplan spoke excellently about the situation. Not sure who the other bloke was, as it didn't seem to be JD who normally does it. Missed the introductions though so never heard.
Schofield the less said about the better. He's just trying to keep himself dining out on the sport despite offering absolutely nothing useful to it since he retired.

| And he's certainly done a lot of dining.
Garry Schofield took great pleasure in stating that we are no longer a big club. He tried asserting the fact about 3 times.
Not that i give a rats about his opinion but what exactly makes a club big? I always assumed that it was fan base which to say we still get bigger crowds than some SL teams to watch the second tier dross that the club have served up isn't all that bad. Leeds United are constantly referred to as a "big club" but that certainly isn't because they are any good or what division they play in. Basically, Schofield is just a spiteful c#@$.

I've watched that Yorkshire radio video with Schofield and those other two men, no idea who they are but all they is scaremonger and talk in riddles and hearsay. Schofield has no idea what he's talking about in that he's heard something from a players agent. problem is bradford being in shield is big news and unfortunately all these so called broadcasters are now offering opinion on something they know nothing about. Schofield would love to see us fold and go bust.

Thats what fans of poor teams with decent crowds say.

Not going to claim to know the exact workings of it, but isn't York's issues more to do with relationship between their chairman and the council?
Fev are recovering from a previous owner who left them in the lurch without actually putting any money in
Workington town will be one of many clubs trying to raise money to survive on sub 1000 crowds.
Point is, the current structure of 23 round split isn't the cause. Bradford had more central funding for 2016 than any Championship club, yet still finished 5th, I'd be looking more at people within the club than the RFL.
The game has always been on "borrowed time", but the problems that need addressing run far deeper than whether we have P&R, franchising or middle 8s systems.

This is correct. All I hear from Leeds United fans are that they are a big club. My question is what makes a club big? I'm under no illusions that Bradford are by the way but I'm not sure that performance on the pitch is the measure by which it's taken.
