Unless i missed something the time has been and gone. Not heard a thing and nothing on their webpage, I guess no news is good news?

They said on Sky that apparently they're holding a big press conference tomorrow morning.

Sounds like a good crowd tonight. Few quid taken on the gates.

Probally did, with a backhander from the RFL and sky

Lol, vintage RLFANS.

I would guess and hope that come 1130 tomorrow 1/2 million will have been found. Well done to all who have contributed. But where will the next 1/2 mill come from? Short of assest sales and redundances?

20,821 fans packed in Odsal tonight

Awesome effort from all concerned. I don't know how the takings are split but that should be about £300k minus costs and Leeds' share (do they get one?) - surely they've hit the £500k.

And fantastic result for the Bulls on the pitch as well.

It really was! It just wouldn't seem right without that kind of comment.

The threat of dropping out the league has clearly brought out the fans for that big crowd. It could be like this every week if they had promotion and relegation! It's that damn franchising again!

Hopefully not. See ya later Bradford, you won't be missed.

Are they making the over 10,000 season pass holders pay again?

No. Apparently a large number of fans suggested that they [iwould[/i pay for entry instead of using their tickets, but because of ground and ticket regulations (and the final announced attendance) it would have been a logistical nightmare for Bradford, not withstanding the fact that it would (I think) have landed them with an even bigger tax bill to pay further down the line - so instead of making the game uneligible for ST holders, they put collection buckets by the turnstiles.

Many members offered to pay but it's unfair to make it mandatory so for that reason, and turnstile reconciliation and stadium attendance/capacity reasons they set up collection points. Members could also make a payment online.

Either way they should have made enough to reach £500k.

Settle down lad, we will be here don't worry

Please go to hell at your earliest convenience you unpleasant little twerp.

To give the lie to some of the nasty rubbish posted by a minority, the bucket collection looks to have been amazing. And plenty of Leeds fans were chucking in. Massive thanks to those who did. Every one of them a better man than you.

And we are talking loads of notes in the buckets. And the collections were made by volunteers.

And the best atmosphere at Odsal for many a year.

If we don't survive after that, it will be a travesty.

Not nice when someone wishes that your club would just vanish is it? Welcome to being a supporter of London Broncos and subjecting yourself to the bile that is posted on the Virtual Terrace.

I like this.

No it is not.

But why the HELL take it out on Bradford fans? I just looked on the latest "lets knock London" thread on here, and I counted ONE post from a Bulls supporter in 13 pages. ONE. And that was pretty innocuous.

The best way for getting a whole load MORE on your back is by making nasty comments like you did, when you hardly ever read any Bulls fans on the VT wishing London would vanish.

your wasting your time arguing with him mate, leave him be, he makes himself look pretty stupid on these forums without any assistance

No. There was a virtual ticket that people could buy if they wanted. I heard earlier that several thousand had been sold. If the number I heard was right, and it might well not be, then I think the first target is reached.

The hundreds if not thousands of neutrals at Odsal tonight disagree with you. Seems like people wishing death on RL clubs are the tools that won't be missed. Caisley for example, the person you should actually be angry with - nobody misses that 2@. And now you and Vastman, Mr Heartland Rugby League himself, are embarrassing yourselves in the same way. No matter what happens now you're both people who have actively wanted other RL clubs to go under. The pair of you are heads.

Listen my friend, I've been to about 8 different grounds in London watching the Bulls/Northern,
and come May I'll be going to yet another new ground at Leyton. Obviously I'm going to
watch my team, but at the same time I'd like to think I was supporting R L in London.
So why don't you meet me before the game this year for a drink. I don't think I'll have much
trouble finding you!

look for the person with a penis on his head

Just a thought.... how much of the "drive" to get cash in is actually a lost cause financially but is actually a tactical attempt to limit any possible liability of the directors. After all, company directors can be held personally liable for a companies debts if they chose to continue trading (eg:- applying for a SL licence for 3 years) if they knoew of financial problems. If they didnt, then a £1m tax bill coming out of the blue would indicate very poor knowledge and therefore a possible breach of their duties under company law.
