RFL buy Odslum for Bulls to rent. www.superleague.co.uk/article/th ... dium/24240

Isn't that conflict of interest? It certainly means Bradford will be permanently in Super League.tHe RFL certainly do stupid things.

Nice of them to preserve Bradford's 'evocative' stadium, whilst letting our two clubs peform financial contortionism to move out of similarly 'evocative' stadia so they can be bulldozed.

It must be nice to be part of the RFL's inner circle.

Stunned ! That's all I can say

Where we're they when Wakey needed them!!

Sort of blows the credibility of the franchise system

Cas and Wakey should merge together and build a new stadium and new club.

quite

Bulls should merge with fax play at the shay in blue and white

So should Bradford and Leeds think of it has marriage counccilling hopefully you will both Still show contempt for each other and not agree on such ridiculous suggestions. This forum is for Cas supporters and wakey trolls now jog on.

Got to laugh at that one 10/10 as for this well, im absolutely dumfounded by this, I wonder if this will cause a rift in the super dooper league clubs ???

Oh and for the second time in our history, is it that both cas and the polecats fans are in unity over this, the last being the merger issue ?

absolutely f*********g ridiculuous, I am a Cas fan, and the RFL couldn't even help Wakey out last year yet they can afford to buy out the stadium with the worst atmosphere and shelter humanly possible. What it must be like to be one of the inner circle of the RFL.

CHEATS CHEATS CHEATS, that's all I can say for the RFL

In securing the Bulls future how can the RFL be impartial at the next round of licence applications?

If it is us or Wakefield who go next time i hope they seek legal advice...it would be fun seeing Wood & Lewis in court.

I too fear they have left themselves open to any team challenging the rfl if booted out.

They interviewed a guy from the RFL this morning (John Ledger...I think) on BBC Radio Radio Leeds around 7.00 am. As a representative of the RFL he was typically vague. However, the implied that the RFL had bought into the Bradford Bulls lease on Odsal to help them stop 'Predatory approaches' for the ground!!

The interviewer asked, 'in these tough economical times was the council looking to sell the ground, and hence potentially leaving the Bulls homeless?'. The RFL man responded by saying that NO, the council couldn't because the lease is owned by the Bradford bulls, and only the Bulls could sell the lease. It was renewed by them from the council in 2004 (for about 100 years or so).

In part of the discussion they also clarified that the Bulls were NOT in a position where they would be forced to sell for survival etc and that in many ways, with or without this deal, it is life as normal for the Bulls.

So what's all the BS about the 'Predatory Approaches'! If the Bulls are the only ones who could sell the lease on, it shouldn't make a difference if who shows and interest in the ground 'Predatory' or not.

It just sounds like a load of typical RFL BS to me and there is another agenda somewhere!
