| Quote: Halifax RLFC "The RFL today met Super League club representatives to update them on developments at Bradford Bulls and to debate the issues caused by the uncertainty surrounding Bradford’s administration.
RFL Chief Executive Nigel Wood saidIt is clear that the clubs all recognise that the game as a whole has a part to play at this time and their views about the situation at Bradford were aired in a constructive way.
“The Super League clubs gave their full support to our endeavours to ensure Bradford Bulls complete the season.
“The RFL will continue to keep the clubs up to speed with developments during our on-going discussions with the administrator of Bradford Bulls.”'"
Reading between the lines that means the clubs will 'have to' support the RFL helping to pay to keep Bradford in SL until the end of the season at least if you ask me.
You know what makes me sick with all this is that Bradford are getting lots and lots of publicity and sympathy in all this and yet ithis is the club that aint paid it bills and aint paid the taxman (wouldn't we all like to be able to do that), a club that is unreliable and untrustworthy yet they are being treated like they have been hard done to, poor Bradford lets all get behind them.
Why???
I think they will come out of this stronger and without all this debt they will improve as a club, yet they will have walked away from all that debt, its morally wrong.

| Just watched an interview with the administrater or Brenda Tinfoil as the Bulls fans call him ,he was being asked how things looked after todays game .
"He replied that he had not seen much of the match as he had been talking to a consortium of businessmen throughout the day and he was hopeful that he would get someone to buy the club.He also said that despite the assurances by the RFL that they would try to keep Bradford going till the end of the season he dismissed that and said if no buyer comes forward the club will finish.
He seemed pleased that they had 10,000 through the gates and was hopefull that a good few would have paid in despite having a season ticket.
He seemed to think these business men were making encouraging noises about buying the club and said Mick potter was returning home as todays return was a one off."
So still a good bit of wheeling and dealing to do yet before this sorry story has finished.

| The whole Bradford Bulls management is a joke and they should not be in SL after this season no matter what. They dont meet the minimum standards set for SL and they have done next to nothing about reducing their debt. The way they have failed or refuse to pay ALL what they owe the Tax man makes me sick. Taxes go on things like Police, Hospitals, Doctors, Schools and Teachers-services people rely on and need. ANY Sporting club that cant/wont pay what is owed should be wound up and forced to start again outside the top League.
The way Dodgy Nigel carries on is a disgrace. How him and his cronies gave Bradford a Grade B licence I will never know. The Licence procedure should be open to the public when the results are announced. The RFL treat the Championship clubs like outcasts- even Daryll Powell has said something similer in the Rugby League World Mag. Whilst Fax, Fev etc should not be promoted to SL why should a club that has broken the minimum standards and brought shame on the comp be allowed to stay in and not worry about things? Makes me sick how the RFL operate. And Nigel Wood and Ralph Rimmer have an excellent record at running a club and so the problems the game has I am not too surprised so many people are fed up with the RFL

| What I find rather strange is ,as you say they have not paid taxes and vat for some time so in effect all the taxpayers of this country are having to stand this money not going into the public purse.It`s only a couple of weeks ago everyone was up in arms about Jimmy Carr and the rest dodging paying tax but the Bulls supporters think everyone should be in favour and it`s ok to just wipe it.
Seemingly the administrater and many of the fans gave a rallying call to the Bulls faithful who have season tickets to pay into the ground on Sunday to help the club pay for players etc` Today he said the crowd of 10,000 was overwhelming but only 20% had actually paid in so does this reflect their true crowd numbers if thet do get demoted one wonders.

| Seen something on twitter from RL feeds, an Asian consortium meeting with RFL today regarding future for bulls in SL, basically if they come in and save them than it's pretty guaranteed that the bulls will keep the license for the whole franchise period which is a disgrace IMO, first wakey and then Bulls!!. Unbullievable Geoff!!!.

The club would never be able to pay off existing debts if they dropped down to any lower league as there wouldn't be enough money generated. No one in their right mind stick a million quid in to a club just keep it in business for the Championship. Might as well liquidate and start over.

Complete joke.

| Akbars will pay £1m. For this, they want the lease back (which the RFL forked out £750k for) and a guarnateed SL license. Out of that £1m the adminstrator's duty is to share it amongst the creditors. The RFL are in to the tune of £200k(last months wages) plus £750k (lease) plus £200k(this months wages).
The RFL will see none of that money again. Pricks. They should not have got involved in the affairs of Bradford Bulls.

| How ironic. The "super" league club that "super" league can't do without generating media interest that "super" league CAN do without!
All this talk from bulls fans of the coral stand attracting investment - er, bulls don't own it! Hardly a great investment- loads of shipping crates attached to a disastrously failing business! Like Fax saying come buy us Russians - we have oil under the shay pitch!
Sad sad sad

I gather that they have 4 mortgages on that stand and part of the money raised by fans has gone to cover the then directors liabilities. No one seems to have mentioned who is going to pay the administrator either.
