Last Sunday I was standing at the top of the banking with my 3 year old granddaughter towards the end of the Salford game as we waited for her Daddy. I was telling her how I used to roll down the bankings in the 1950s whilst waiting for my Daddy and how the cinders on the terraces used to get in my sandals and the wooden crush barriers left splinters in my bottom. As the conversation went on I told her how her how I used to bring her Daddy and his brothers and sister to games (no easy task with four little ones, a pram, baby bottles up and down all those steps - especially as my husband never came with me as he didn't know one end of a Rugby ball from the other). That's why Bradford Bulls is worth saving - because one day my three year old granddaughter will have children and grandchildren of her own and will be able to tell them how her granny stood at Odsal on the cinders a hundred years ago and loved Bradford RL all her life.

Alas folk have been watching teams outside their local area since year dot.

I'll willingly add one as a Cougars supporter for over 50 years ...

THEY'RE NOT!

El Diablo, noticed you mentioned that "the Bulls were reinventing the matchday experience". To what are you referring? You may infact find some if not all of the innovations were part of "Cougarmania" which I see are often misrepresented as being innovations by Bradford.

As another Cougar supporter, I believe Bradford Bulls are worth saving because they are part of the Rugby League experience and the more strong teams in the sport the better. That said, I don't think the Bulls management are worthy of being in charge of a serious sports club any longer.

Which is indeed absolutely correct.

I think a sponsored fight between mad Mike O'Neil & Steve 'The Fonz' Long would draw a decent paying crowd. The winner could claim the invention of modern SL.
