As a lifelong Widnes Vikings fan, but first and foremost a lifelong Rugby League fan, I just wanted to offer my sympathies for the situation you find yourselves in as fans, through none of your own doing. It sounds like your board, as ours did at the time, have an awful lot to answer for!
We've been there ourselves, very recently, and I consider us very fortunate that we managed to come out of the other side, rebuild and regroup and build our club back up.
I sincerely hope that Bradford come out of this as a stronger club, in whatever form that may take, as I feel that the loss of any professional RL team would be a sad loss for the sport as a whole.
The selfish Widnes fan in me says that the best option may be administration, which may allow us the chance to capitalise on your misfortune, however the RL fan in me who wants to see this seasons SL competition continue as normal feels that it's perhaps best for the clubs immediate survival to be secured and the deeper issues addressed once we are sure that there will continue to be a club.
For this reason, I have pledged and also urged other Widnes fans to do so. I will also continue to push #savethebulls on Twitter as much as I can. @Hull_Viking
Best of luck to you, and looking forward to hammering you guys in a couple of weeks!
