Im looking at the long term plan, we cant expect the team to be in super league next year. A season battling against religation, and if that happens which is a probability an off season without any dramas and the chance for the coach (hopfully mr smith) to plan for promotion back to the championship and build again. We have one thing that most other teams don't have, a fan base. We need to stick behing the new owners and rebuild. I think there is a need for the owners to build some bridges and provide some stability to bradford rugby league. If they can do this im in for the long haul

From a Fax fan, we've been waiting 14 years to get out of this league. I'm sure the RFL will fasttrack Bradford to Super League when they change the structures again due to their "iconic" status.

They'll probably give Salford, Leigh & Wakey the boot for Bradford, Toronto and Toulouse.

In 10 years time, the game will once again become semi-professional due to lack of exposure, sponsorship, fan disillusionment and unsustainability.
The game is dying at grassroots level. The quality of RL is poor. Any quality now goes to Oz or Union.
And Nigel Wood will keep collecting his salary and Rugby League has never been in better shape!

Have CDs, IPods etc reached Fax yet. In fact has the fax machine. Scratched vinyl does have a habit of repeating itself. Gets tedious after a while. Bongser will qualify his comment however by saying that, even were it without the Leigh rat connection, he'd still be against the whole Tranny Atlantic thing. Bonkers.

Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn.
Yep the RFL are yet again favouring us.
Dear RFL thank you for giving the new Bradford club minus 12 points - you are too generous

Genuine question.

How many years is it going to take before your bitterness subsides? It's been quite a few now since you all felt you were @rse raped by Bradford, and yet you're still really really sour about it. Do you think you'll ever get over it?

(Aimed at this particular halfwit, not the decent Fax fans)

I hope I never reach your level of bitterness, I really do.

Yep you are absolutely right. Rugby league is dying from the lack of exposure that Halifax not being in Superleague has caused.
The fact Halifax are not in superleague is entirely down to Bradford.

Time to stand up for my fellow fax fan. He isn't saying its bradfords fault that we aren't in super league. Regards your 12 point deduction, any other club would have had to start again on champ 1.

Glad you didn't go down anyway as that's 4 points for fax next season. Plus we get to go to the magnificent

Odsal stadium.

You make out that is the new owners wanted to be in this league, I am totally bemused by this, you tell me of any other sport who would do what the rfl have done leaving them in the same league off -12 points,, it's the rfl that is becoming a laughing stock not bradford

We don't help ourselves though do we?

Not been bias or anything like that,but in my mind Bradford bulls have done more for super league than the rfl have, the bulls put the English game on the map as far as the super league era goes
