We are merging then, Northern Red Bulls.

I'm not having a go at you Fr13daY but we've been spun that many yarns over the last years that even if AC says Fat Nige & Koukash are ploughing millions into the Bulls and we're going to buy loads of decent players and be in Super League in 2 years - I will believe in when it actually happens. In the meantime we are losing fans every week and everyone in charge keeps quiet - it just doesnt add up.

I agree . However , whilst I do not know either Fr13daY or FA , their posts on this forum give me the strong impression that neither are the type to be charmed by a snake oil salesman. If they have left the meeting with a more positive expectation , that augurs well.
There have been too many false dawns to become over excited but it's already clear that both of them felt they received honest answers.
Fr13daY's e mail certainly asked more direct questions and expressed my pessimistic feelings better than any journalist has managed up to now.
Looking forward to the agreed version of the meeting... and many thanks to both of you .

Interview with Chalmers and Athwal online shortly.

You'll be pleased to know that there is a plan B should the club be relegated to League One.

the only thing about that Mick is a couple of weeks ago your interview with him he said there was no plan b. Very contradicting to his earlier interview then

Andrew is naturally positive and when listening back in that particular interview with him, it should be interpreted as such.

Andrew, Jasbir and Geoff vehemently believe that the club will survive of its own doing.

"......[ushould [/uthe club be relegated to League One"

Not having a dig at you Mick, but shouldnt that read "when" the club is relegated to League One?

The chance of us staying up gets slimmer every day, and the loss to Dewsbury confirmed how good we are at the moment.
Other than mathematically (and experience shows how that usually turns out for the Bulls) how on earth will we not got relegated

Thanks to Fr13daY and FA for making this approach - looking forward to seeing the agreed minutes and the answers.

I also agree with a previous poster that in situations like this, a direct approach from knowledgeable fans can produce results. We get nothing from any local news outlet or journalist. And Mick should be commended for the stuff that he does, but I hope he won't mind me saying that he isn't a trained journalist - particularly in terms of getting to the true nitty gritty of what might be going on behind the scenes. FFS Bob Woodward himself would struggle to get the bottom of what's gone on at this club in the last decade.

It wasnt a pop at him mate just with the current feeling of discontent maybe saying one thing one week then saying something completely different a couple of weeks later isn't going to help the fans who currently feel the disconnection from the club.

Eight losses on the bounce don't exactly convince me that we will...

Total rl are reporting that at the meeting between super league clubs today to discuss the future league structure that any decions have been put off until after the end of the season, and that it might be only tweeks for next season (like the bottom 8's playoff points resetting ti zero! Could do with that one now at least) with whole sale changes put back to the 2019 season. Which is sensible unless you have been pining your hopes on a restructuring of the leagues to save the Bulls from relegation to the third tier for 2018.

And the top 8 playoffs resetting to zero. Which is just bl00dy stupid.

The delay in any league structure announcement will have no bearing on the plan been implemented by our 3 Uncle's.

Which is?

Not been in C1

Who are the 3 wise men again red? Do you mean Lowe Chalmers and koucash, or koucash woods and a.n.other? (apologies if you've already spelt it out and I can't remember)

Uncle Gary, Uncle Marwan and Uncle Eamonn.

Get Marwans involvement sort of...i would say a merger , for the fan base.
But not what other two would have to gain?
Am I been naive?

If you know what's going on then why not just say?

Presumably he can't say because it isn't signed and sealed and the RFL have a way of dashing plans involving the Bulls at the last minute

Cheers red. One things for sure, it might not always be enjoyable but it's never boring following the Bulls.

If we got points for rumours about the future of our club we'd be top of the league by now.

I can not see why Gary Hethrington would help the Bulls get back into Super League - that just doesnt make sense.
Unless his money will come in on the agreement that whenever we play Leeds that we just roll over and let them thrash us - based on current team that is guaranteed.

If their plan is us not being in Champ1, there plan is gonna fail in a few months time.

Unless tons of money and therefore top quality players comes flooding in now and we win all our remaining games this season.

Or maybe their plan is to wait until we fall into Champ1 then buy us on the cheap and slowly bring us back up.

But those of us who suffered the mood swings over Christmas 2016 have been here before and I, for one, will not dance to the pipers tune until some solid plans are actually producing results

Because he doesn't know like everyone else...
