Ah now then, apparently they didn't go bust. I've had it rammed down my throat that it was the parent company of LB that folded. Nothing to do with LB, AND, the RFL didn't punish them because it occurred BEFORE all the rules about administration came in.

That's the official story.

Yep, its a case of 'wait a minute while we come up with yet another rule change so you can get away with it'
How we and others have suffered from that one eh??

I can ' Feel the lurve '

I think we have to all break away from superleague as we will never get in as be gateshead and toulouse next.What a joke bailing out celtic sheep shaggers.

A disgrace. Over the last decade there have been numerous heartland, original rugby league clubs that have gone to the wall, usually for bad finacial decisions. But this time Celtic go to thewall because of a bad RFL decision so they bail them out.
Seriously, a good sport/business lawyer for those clubs could take RFL to the cleaners.

Franchise? Forget it. Give the game back to the people that love it!!

They are not bailing them out with any money from the RFL coffers they are helping them find new investment from external sources.

In that case its ok? So celtic don't need to employ development personnel, the RFL will do it for them? Doncaster are struggling to filed 13 players, and as yet I am yet to see the RFL comein and helpl them, no, the RFL leave that to the rugby league clubs that care about tradition and heritage to help out these clubs!!!

If Celtic asked other RL clubs to collect monet at games for them to stay afloat, how would they do?

They did provide your transport to Donny , alegedly

Whatever any of us think , we as a sport need Celtic to survive , so for me the RFL should chip in with funds to keep them afloat

However that money should come from the other SL clubs via the SKY money

If they refuse , well that is a different matter

I never said it was OK. The trouble is whenever there is a story about Celtic people jump on the bandwaggon and start making claims such as the RFL bailing them out (as with this thread) when that is not the case at all so if we are going to b!tch about Celtic then we need to get facts straight before sweeping remarks.

Reading the statement from the RFL it seems that the scheme the RFL are running with Celtic such as trying to find other investments is an option that all clubs have access to and have taken up. Am sure this would be open to clubs outside SL and am sure the RFL are working alongside Donny to help (such as our coaches to our away game there) to try ease their burden.

Would anyone complain if the RFL bailed out Donny? No, because people see them as a traditional club, yet if the RFL bailed out Celtic all hell would break loose (I.e. London a while ago).

Yes ,and I bet you could write all their names on the back of a "Woodbine" cig packet, and still have room for your Christmas present list.

I heard Fox Moulder and Dana Sculley had been asked to lend a hand, but they are too busy on one of their "X-Files" just now.

Who is paying for these guys to help "bail" them out then??

Sendind a task force to the struggling Taffys.
Just hope they are fail unlike the task force Maggie sent to the Falklands.
Perhaps they are going to bomb the Bridgend ground from a great height!
Somehow they will keep going but I have always hoped the whole thing fails miserably.
