Quote: hi de hi "I don't have a problem with having a club in CC1, but why can't the RFL come clean about where we will be rather than stringing us along and saying we can't guarantee this, that or the other. If it's to be no SL then i would rather see us fold now and start a new club in CC1.
How can you expect some one to cough up big bucks for the club only to find it starts next season in CC1, when you could form a new club for a fraction of the price. Three years ago Doncaster went into admin and were relegated to CC1. They reformed the club with very little money and a support base of around 250! Last week they achieved promotion, have trebled their crowds and are operating at a small profit.
It can be done and i'm sure Bradford would steam through the division much easier than the likes of Donny. Just a little honesty from the RFL as to where the club will find itself is all i ask.'"


I'm with you.

To be honest, I'm quite warming up to the idea of rolling up my sleeves and getting involved with a Championship I club operated as some model of 'supporter led'.

Basically, I'm just sick of it dragging on and on and on with no clear signs of resolution

Quote: Bullpower "I'd suggest it's far more clear. The RFL's intransigence, for whatever reason, has all but guaranteed that. IMHO.
I'm slightly baffled by this line of thought as though any of those involved in a complex process are revelling in any element of the difficulty, RFL included.

In saying that, I would like the RFL to identify how they believe a serious bidder would make any submission based on a tenuous knowledge of how and where the business will be operating. It is a farcically narcissistic expectation on their part. No serious entity would submit two business models based on SL trading vs C1 trading.

Perhaps if they stopped cow towing to the whims of two key SL chairmen (and Hetherington is ironically heavily on our side) our road forward may be a little less full of gravel.

Possibly only a little less than I was when I read the above in connection with what I'd posted . . . . ???? icon_wink.gif G-B icon_smile.gif . . . . . . . They (RFL) won't identify that though will they. Nor will they won't move away from the position of "no conditional bids" . . . . .. thereby stuffing any real chance of a success bidder and, IMHO, "guaranteeing the death of professional RL in Bradford"

Quote: Mirfieldbull "There were some near misses late 90's when Union went pro, but probably Northern in 63 when there was only 1 league'"

That was a regional and definitely part time sport, so doesn't meet the conditions!

Not heard/read the following in a while . . . . mayhaps it's worth mulling it over at this point in time. . . .

"[iLet me tell you something you already know.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward.

How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody!

Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!

I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my life and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life.

. . . . . and don't forget to visit your mother"[/i icon_smile.gif
