Quote Poppa="Poppa"Rebrand as Northern Knights, merge with Halifax and play at the Shay, with occasional games at Valley Parade.... Could happen, as a fan of Northern/Bulls for 35 years I am resigned to the fact that Odsal is no longer viable as a modern day facility that can compete with the new stadiums at Warrington, Salford, Saints, Hull, etc. Shay is a tidy venue these days, Fax are struggling along but with no realistic chance of being in Super League. Harsh but true - the future for both clubs could be a coming together to mop up the Bradford and Calderdale area.'"
Poppa? Graham? Is that you?
Not sure how playing the majority of games in Halifax would keep the Bradford fanbase on board. As you know VP was a turn off for a large number of Bradford fans. I'd fear a Shuddersfield type scenario with the club re-emerging as Halifax after a few years.
Is the Bulls brand toxic? Who says?
If we go back to having Northern in the name can we dust down that recording of the crowd chanting they used to play in the late 80s?
