I know that we may not have a totally balanced view on here regarding the Bulls situation, but the support that they have received from all quarters is staggering.
Pledge money, advences from the RFL, cash donations from Leeds and Warrington and staff working for nowt.
Will there be some kind of decision/announcement today ?

there will be an announcement of an extension today, thats for sure.

if the RFL are assuring the players will get paid until the end of the season there is no need to rush anything through, as just about everyone else at the club was made redundant and are working for nothing.

been going on too long for me. Guillfoyle will be ringing their hands in pleasure. they will be getting paid (from somewhere / someone - usually out of clubs coffers - probably the advance from the rfl) so they can sit back a little, probably until end of november.

Yet some on the Bulls forum think they have been victimised by the RFL over the 6 point deduction and rejection of the initial ABC bid.

To be fair the RFL have been complicit in this whole mess so perhaps they feel obligated to push the boat out with their support. Hopefully the better paid players will help out those who are working for nothing.

I know this is mischief making but, when we were in trouble, the dreaded "m" word was muted.
As the Bulls are struggling and Fax want a place in SL, Why is there no talk of a takeover or merger, after all the 2 grounds are in closer proximity than ourselves and Cas ?

The RFL have since said that they won't pay the players wages beyond August.

I expect that if a deal can't be brokered, one or two of the crown jewels may need to be flogged so they can see out the season.

i don't like the way that the rfl are paying the wages to protect the squad and keep it together but wouldn't do likewise for us.

however perhaps they're doing this BECAUSE it stiffed us, and have learnt the lessons of the way they dealt with us?

All the clubs have been called to red hall to discuss the terrible bulls situation...

So we know that the RFL are paying the wages on a full salary cap bill. Can we assume that the rent cost for the Iconic Odsal Stadium are been waived by the RFL?

Interesting article, the bulls acting chairman wants to know where they stand so investors can decide what to do. I presume this statement has prompted the meeting today. It should very intersting what happens next, a vote? Bulls in or out?

As you were...

Well, it looks like the RFL agree with a large number of Wakey fans regarding the similarities between each clubs problems

.

The difference being that our prospective new owner went to the RFL with two business plans, proof of funds and no unreasonable conditions attached to his proposal.

Perhaps the ABC consortium have less interest in saving the Bulls and rather more in getting their hands on a piece of prime real estate?

This is exactly what I think. AG was willing to take us on whatever league we were in. Bulls fans did not appreciate my comments on VT about it!

I wouldn't call it prime

The bulls fans are quite frankly pathetic in their constant blaming of everyone from the RFL to uncle Tom cobblys wife! I didn't have much sympathy when this first came to light due to the arrogant Bradford fans at the time of our demise. Now I have zero sympathy, the quicker the club dies the better. Get ready septic Eddie and FA the trolling hasn't even begun yet. Can't believe we are even talking about this basket case of a club, they don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breaths as such great clubs as Halifax and Keighley.

Haven't really been over to their site much to see what's been happening these past couple of months till today but I've got to admit the levels of arrogance by a few over there is quite staggering, especially considering their situation. I was pretty gutted for them when it all first started but now screw 'em, if they die they die.

Parkin wanted a guarantee, the RFL said NO, this ABC lot want a guarantee and the RFL have said NO.

Glover offered to support the club in whatever league it ended up in, this ABC lot don't seem to want to do that.

RFL help out with wages and the players remain in place, the same players the club can't afford to pay have no been sold to ease the burden.




Of course it can be argued "its different" but i think thats just them thinking they are a big club and they are better than us.

Mystic Eddie you reap what you sow

shut the door and turn the light off when you leave old pal.

I've said it from day 1, Super League doesn't need a Bradford Bulls,
Quesion : Why are they more important than any other club ?
Answer : They simply aren't, easily replaced.

Perhaps the end of this debacle is in sight.

i doubt it. we've been here before haven't we?

like most wakefield fans, i sympathise with the bradford supporters.

Like Bradford are going to be liquidated & cast out of the SL, give me a break.

It isn’t going to happen, all the outpouring of grief from their supporters & the nauseating good luck messages from fans of other clubs

.

I wish whoever is waiting in the wings, to become the new messiah, would just get on with it, I’m so very tired…………..

This thread was started about equal treatment to clubs in administration, the window is open and that has just been thrown out...

...with the unanimous agreement of all clubs.

and we all know why they have supposedly 10k supporters .. cheap tickets, none of them pay full whack for anything which is why they are in the stae they are in!! rangers sank doing the same as bulls..dump em and move forward..gives a lot of confidence to halifax and fev now doesn't it!!!

we really should count our own in our back yard before criticising cheap season tickets at the bulls

this seasons prices should of produced more on the terraces

next seasons is another bargain
