Quote paulwalker71="paulwalker71"Well, granted Wakefield will finish higher in the table this year (although, frankly, I don't expect them to last beyond the first week of the playoffs)
But in every respect the Bulls are a bigger club, with more potential than Wakefield. You might not like that, but it is true. OK, the Bulls are in a rebuilding phase right now, but looking ahead a year or two there is actually a much greater chance that the Bulls are likely to be challenging for trophies, playing in front of much bigger crowds and generally being on a bigger stage.
Quite simply, Wakefield are a small town club who are punching above their weight right now - and well done to them, to be fair - whilst Bradford Bulls are a big city club who are currently undergoing a big dip in form.
In the bigger scheme of things, moving from Wakefield to Bradford, and being part of the renaissance of one of the game's giants should appeal to someone with a bit of ambition'"
There is massive potential for Wakefield, sadly it hasn't been realised in the Super League era. Their plans for a new ground are pretty well advanced and that will be the acid test of their ambition, whether people actually turn out for their club.
One of the main problems is the lack of spirit in the city, a situation not unlike Bradford IMO. It has a poor opinion of itself, there is a lot of immigration and a lot more people residing there 'cos the housing is cheaper but working and living their lives in Leeds.
I'd still agree we are the better prospect at the moment but we simply have to realise the OSD and improve significantly on the field.
