Although I have simpathy for them, I don't see their logic behind the request for no points deduction.
If they are the rules they have to live with them, same as the rest of us.

Quite a few questions that need answering in that article.

Yeah but there are rules and there are "rules" aren't there

So we are told that if we go into admin we are out yet the iconic bulls have no problem doing it, this is the reason why I will not be attending any games in the future. Corrupt to the core.

No one has actually said that. The Bulls are going to ask but that doesn't mean they'll get it.
If they don't do get a points deduction does that mean you are attending again?

Hold on were we not told that if we 'pre-packed' then we would have to start again in championship 1? Should this not be the case here?

What you are forgetting is that we are not "iconic"...

Their statement makes out that it is all about changing the ownership to get rid of Omar Kahn. Not the case though, it was HMRC that brought the WUP.

"All players, employees and assets have been transferred to the new company, who will continue to function as Bradford Bulls – in Super League."

In and then out of Administration [size=150during the close season[/size. There might just be a bit of small print there to save them from a points deduction.

That doesn't mean they won't get a points deduction does it.
Or are we saying there was a transfer before administration? Not sure I've read the article properly

The points reduction is irrelevant, we where told that if we went into admin we where out, reading that suggests that they will be in.

Fat knacker pie eating asswipe strikes again, I wish he would choke on his pies.

They must surely get at the very least a points deduction and only avoid relegation if the pay their creditors in full. If they escape any punishment then the game will be shown up to be obviously bent and I for one will walk away never to return. What is the point if is not going to at least pretend its a level playing field?

It would be good if Michael could clarify what exactly we were told at the time and what his views on this comparative situation are, after all he was involved, we are just adding up the numbers and assuming they are right.

Why was administration "not an option" to WTW ? That is the question to ask here.

As stated above !!!

Because we were told we would have been out of SL if we did!!!!

This needs clarification IMO as does the Bulls situation.
If it then does not add up, we need to make an official and very public complaint bringing in the media.

I would not be at all surprised (if there is something fishy going on) that this would be the desired effect.
No complaints from fans that are no longer there??
I know i'm not paranoid, but anything to do with the rfl and i start looking in the hedges at the bottom of the garden.

If only Michael Carter had waited one more day before releasing the news that BV’s capacity had been cut. It would’ve been a good day to bury a bad news story.

The problem with walking away is that, it will only damage Wakefield Trinity.
If you feel so strongly, then don't go to Bradford or abstain from RFL events, like internationals of magic weekend.
Avoiding Iconic Odsal seems to be a more tempered response.

The penalty (or lack of it) will give a strong indication of the RFL's comment about "no safe teams" from relegation.
Many of the more cynical ones amongst us, believe that London, Catalan, Bradford and Salford would not be "allowed" to be relegated from SL and certainly, a lack of a points deduction here, would back up these thoughts.

So are the players free agents?

Nope they'll have been TUPED across. It’s basically a pre-pack.
