| Quote ="broadybull87"mmmm making the coaches redundant and keep banging on about how we may not get through this, was maybe his way of encouraging fans to come to the game.
I think we have averaged over 12k fans this season anyway, and no doubt if he wasnt the administrator he would we would have got over 10 anyway, think alot fans used tickets as we have given enough to the club, by pledging and donation ino i have, and the £20 we pay to get in more likely went to pay his fees.'"
His firm will get their money as a matter of course. If no-one else is paid his company will be, you can rest assured of that, so denying the club the cash is probably a bit self defeating. Though, maybe it's a fair tactic to keep your powder dry, as it were. Guess that time will tell.. |

If so, it's another example of the God of Round Numbers. Isn't it amazing how the number of payers was exactly a round thousand number? It's like when the government needs to waste cash on something it always comes to a round million, or billion. |

Or even £500,000? |

Ross from T&A

Well maybe it is good news in that I assum to be granted a further extension BG would have to provide some evidence that there is a potentially viable option on the table?
BG also said he was expecting to take £10k on the gate - even if only 2000 paid he should have got more than this - or were they all £1 childrens entries?

I'm sure it is good news. I'm positive, I just want some conclusion now one way or the other. I've been waiting since the end of March for some.
2000 is almost a quarter of the season ticket holders. I'd personally be surprised if that many paid through. I did, but then I have no season ticket this year.

I'll take two or three days of extension over liquidation! |

You don't get soap operas, do you? The standard technique to get people to tune in to the next episode is to leave something hanging in mid |

Lifelong Archers fan club member. Nigel didn't hang in mid-air. He slammed head first into the ground.

I think you'll get til Friday.
Its been a decent earner so far for his firm P&A.
There's no way they`ll be paying the wages and that's when its reported they are due. The deadline is his to extend.
I`m very surprised some players havent been sold on yet even just to bring the wage bill down.

All sounding promising regarding possible investors, however, I can't see any of them wanting to fork out for this months players wages.
What will be BG's options? May have to be a player(s) sale to raise the funds unless the investors happen to be passionate Bulls fans and want to keep the team together. Sounds doubtful though.

we're due the next installment of sky money in next week which covers a big chunk of the wages. Plus I think RFL are minded to advance us next months installment as well which is why figure being bandied about is 200k rather than 100k. |

Brendan Guilfolye, administrator of financially-troubled Bradford Bulls, is continuing discussions with a number of interested parties as a buyer for the Super League side is sought.
Bulls interim CEO Gary Tasker said: "Positive talks were held yesterday with a group of Bradford-based Asian businessmen and these went on until late into the night. The group have shown genuine interest in taking the club forward.
"Whilst we are cautiously optimistic regarding the outcome of these discussions, the consortium will be holding further discussions today with the Rugby Football League."

Isn't the real deadline Friday 20th July at 8pm? When we have to field a team of hopefully better than pub standard against Leeds?
How long does it take to liquidate the club, buy the assets and raise a team?

At the risk of sounding cynical, I hope the "investors" aren't deliberately dragging this out past wages day so they can blackmail the RFL to pay players and save a few quid themselves.

Well, apparently BG has emailed one of the people who arranged the crisis meeting last Monday, asking if the fans can help pay the players.

Sky Sports News has reported that it is discussions over the ownership of the ground (lease, obviously).

Rumours going round are that the consortium are looking to buy back the Odsal lease, then get permission to build on the land.
They will/have looked at the Bulls ground sharing VP.
At least the Bulls will continue if this went ahead?

| It's all sounding positive.
Surely no surprise that they want clarity over the ground, as they'll surely want to develop the Coral Stand into some sort of banqueting suite for weddings, conferences etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they want to even expand the Coral Stand and have something that can host huge events.
Incidentally, I was finding out more about the guy who runs Akbars, and found this on the Bradford College Alumni site
Quote Shabir is thoroughly committed to Bradford and presently lives in the house formerly owned by Ernest Busby, who built a department store that was in its day, Bradford's answer to Harrods. Similarly ambitious and committed to excellence, he feels a strong connection with the businessman who created such a memorable and well-loved Bradford brand, and he has spent time investigating Busby's history.
"I am sick of the negative press that Bradford receives and so I deliberately branded my restaurants 'Akbar's of Bradford.' I am a true, patriotic Bradfordian. I believe in Bradford College and what it did for me. I now employ four hundred people and I have one hundred and twenty-two of them training at Bradford College on various courses."'"
With that attitude. I'd welcome him with open arms |
