Usually spot on is this guy,

Super League Live ‏@YRSuperleague 2h
1/3 After speaking to the RFL, the decision the Bull won't get the full Sky money in 2014 isn't 'new news', it was agreed last year.
2/3 The RFL say it was suggested by the Bulls to the other clubs as a concession to ensure the other 13 voted to keep them in Super League.
3/3 The money which would have gone to Bradford has been split 13 ways between the other sides in Super League.e other 13 voted to keep them in Super League.


So basically im laughing at the fact that Bulls bribed the other clubs with cash from Sky and seem to not like the idea now ??

So, nothing official then just hearsay from some bod on Twitter?

Yes. Which is why a few hours ago I posted "That was the deal".


Where do they say that?

What was reported at the time in the T&A was;

That suggests pretty much the opposite of your claim. What have you got to back it up?

More recently, Gerry Sutcliffe was reported as saying (again in the T&A)

I am assuming that if the Bulls had advanced the idea then under no circumstances would that form of words have been used.

It was reported pre-season on Sky that:



Yes. Again, we already all know this. We've all known it for many months.


So basically you're laughing at a non-existent "bribe" but which, on all the evidence, was a condition that the other clubs required to support the deal, and was then subsequently split between the other clubs. And the clear impression given is that if the money was being poured in to grow the game, OK wouldn't be so bothered, but the post-event fact that the clubs voted to divvy it (seemingly a majority vote) is what upset him.

Remind me what does Gerry Sutcliffe do for a living again ?

Thank goodness the RFL got our licence officially sorted well before other clubs are allowed to contact our ooc players. That gives us plenty of time to get the players signed up and doesn't penalise us in another way (again).

The process started at least 6 weeks ago and the Solly sub-committee made their "approved" recommendation to the main committee 2 weeks ago so this announcement should give us at least a week or two "contract exclusivity" with our players and their agents before the 1st of May.

Oh wait...

I sat next to Gerry in the FC one Christmas while he was in Government. He nearly wet himself with excitment when The Who 'Won't Get Fooled Again' came on the juke box. I will always have a soft spot for him as a result.

Good news for Bradford...club and City.
Good luck for the future.

I'm taking a guess here, do you support a team with a WF postcode,for some strange reason it stands out like a sore thumb

I had ruled him OUT of being a Wakefield fan. The evidence suggests otherwise. He did not make a single spelling error in any of his posts.

lol please tell me your trying albeit poorly to wind me up by guessing who I support ?

Congrats on the licence confirmation by the way, RL is stronger for having the Bulls in SL, doesn't mean any team has a right mind.

For what its worth I would bin Salford or London before any other team.

You're kidding?



Three basic errors there. (I left punctuation out of the equation)

Just how did you get your username mystic eddie ?

Salford or London to be binned?

Think that confirms you support a team within the WF postcode

Must admit I am watching a game tonight in the WF area !

TBF, he had not posted this at the time I made the comment.



However, PAC is indeed correct to question how I got my username. I can see the future!

Not sure I understand the Gerry Sutcliffe question. What has he done that people in Wakefield wouldn't like?
Always a good arguement to pick on the area someone comes from



So without defending any comments about Sutcliffe as I imagine it isn't something I agree with......
I'm pretty sure we we can all find spellling errors on the Bradford board as well so don't big yourselves up too much.
If we are comparing general education, Bradford Grammar school just beats the Wakefield schools but there is a long trail on the low end with other Bradford schools beyond the bottom end of Wakefield's achievemts and under achievement, so lets not start bagging WF postcode for education. Just have a go at the poster if you like.

Probably over defensive I guess

What makes you say that?

Nor will anyone, unless the OP explains.


Tbf ME didn't, he goes on about Wakey fans. They could of course be from Rotterdam, or anywhere.


Or at all. Who did?


We weren't.


Nobody is or has.


No need for that. Why get personal? I'm happy to respond to the points he makes. See no reason to "have a go"?


That's what you get with being a Pop Tart, the filling is dangerously hot (or was, do they still make them?)

As I read the posts above, the implication was that there was something wrong with coming from Wakefield, AND based on that fact, a comment about his spelling.
I read that as a dig at Wakefield and the general education of said fans on this forum.

You are free to label us that way, but coming from Wakefield I feel honour bound to defend my City.

Not a big deal though. It's a shame the general baiting between Wakefield and Bulls fans has gone on so long.

Dear me. Just a tad OTT here PopTart.

It was a clear joke and it really should be left at that. It was not intended to cause any offence and I must admit I am bemused that it has.

For the record, I live in a squat in central Scotland called Alloa. I am certainly in no position to therefore question the quality of education of anyone else.

P.S. If you have any difficulty reading and understanding any of the above then feel free to print it and bring it along to Odsal (Provident) the next time you are in town and someone there in RAB will explain it to you.

I am outraged by your P.S.!

I guess I just saw it as I was passing through and jumped in, possibly, too soon.
I'll keep walking. Clearly nothing to see......sorry
