I genuinely hope that Bradford Bulls remain a Super League team.
On the outside looking in, I chose not to comment upon the merits of the pledge plea. I felt that it was none of my business what the loyal supporters of the Bulls wanted to do however, I like lots of other supporters were under the impression that Friday was D Day. You can waffle on for page after page and argue about the minutiae of the detail however, my impression now is that its clear that the loyal fans are being taken for a ride. Chemical Hoody is still fiddling, figuratively and literally and will continue to do so until the very end.

Quote: M@islebugs "No it's not the main factor. It's important and shouldn't overlooked but it's not the main factor. An equally important factor is that we became a terrible team that people didn't want to support and businesses didn't want to sponsor meaning our income plummeted. We employed a poor coach for over 4 years and signed poor players.

I thought the general consensus was that CC was forced out (which supports the vendetta theory).

I think this idea that the cynical Caisley stepped aside and allowed the decent Mr Hood to take the fall doesn't bear a deal of analysis. Hood put himself forward as chairman, he wasn't duped into it. I don't doubt the current board work hard and that they had issues to overcome but the fact that 8 years after signing Iestyn Harris and 6 years after employing Steve McNamara we're on the brink of liquidation suggests they haven't done very well.

With Caisley, there are at least some positives to balance out the negatives.'"


Perhaps if you been on the Forums a lot longer and gleaned more relevant facts instead of fiction you might have a different perspective than your bitter cynical attitude towards the present board!

If the only financial factor effecting the bulls was the Harris deal, then selling burgess and fielden, as well as releasing peacock, Paul, pryce, Johnson hape, vainikolo would have cancelled the out surely.

I've defended Caisley on here, and shown my despair at the hood administration. The fact is because they don't and won't get on, we will never be able to be sure about any of the facts that are coming from either of them.

Ok here's a different take perhaps. Caisley is to blame, but not because of the Harris episode. I think that moving back into odsal, and renegotiating the lease in 2003 was the catalyst for our demise. Under the old deal, we were given a stadium complete with maintenance safety certs etc... But CCs ego meant that he wanted control, and that's what's cost us, long term.. The money we got from the council paid for the coral stand, instead of ensuring we had the money to keep the ground in a decent state of repair.

I know for a fact the coral stand couldve been built for a lot less, but his power trip meant he went for the more grand scheme. .


This is where he messed up most, not just in the Harris deal. But having said all this, look at the positives. All 4 sl titles, all 3 wccs, 2 CC wins that none of us would swap.

Neither hood nor caisley are wanted, but where's the queue to take the job on!?

I don't remember seeing anything about an anouncement, just the pledge deadline being extended.
