well I take no satisfaction from the state your in - not least because I've mates who are bulls fans but I think the idea of a golden ticket is great.
ok at the moment your finances are terrible.
salfords aren't.
neither are a few others.

lets say the Dr wants to spend his money on a player but needs your ticket whats the problem?
you get money from him for your ticket which once that players contract is up reverts to being your ticket.
if your in the position to use it then you do so. if not you sell it again.

there will always be dominant clubs.
it wasn't that long ago it was the bulls making big signings and dominating others.

the golden ticket idea means that others have to benefit from a clubs sugar daddy wanting to invest.

when you were signing your big sponsorship deals should that have been stopped until every club had as good a sponsor in place?
you cannot simply bring everyone down to the lowest so that we are all equal.

I hope the Bulls find a way through this.
they were a great club
really leading the way in so many ways.
someone badly took their eyes off the ball and its sad the state they're in.

but I watched my team dominate and I've watched them in the second division.
you'll be back

I think its more a case of the have nots deciding that if tthey can't no one can.
I know the theory of not having a massive gap leads to a closer comp but in reality clubs are going to the wall.
this would have enabled them to get some money in.

It's far more a case of clubs recognising that the move would make the competition even more unbalanced than it is now and that having too many high scoring drubbings, whether in your favour or against, isn't the sort of thing to attract spectators and a decent crowd every week, hoping to see a good game [ie a competition], brings in far more than selling a one off, golden ticket.

Would this lead to the possibility of clubs out bidding each other to buy golden tickets off other clubs?

How many players will Salford need?

Unfortunately this will further widen the gap between the have's and have not's in the game.

It's other effect would be to further push up the cost's of the quality players who are already in short supply - so with player development programs in many clubs being cut to save costs an "quality player" asset bubble will form.

Probably unfair to judge by tonight's performance---- but if you did --- they need a fair few.
