The Rfl should be held fully accountable for this fiasco as when Ac was chosen we had other parties interested who actually had the financial backing to make a difference. I hope I'm wrong about the latest consortium but why have the Rfl always chose people who have no money to take control of this once great club. Personally I think a new club should be started as Bradford Northern as the Bulls brand is tarnished and start in league 1 playing at horsfall and get it built from a solid foundation. I believe someone with money would definitely back that

Funny I was thinking the same about starting again and playing in Bradford but also got to think of the players we still have and hope things go right for them has any other team been through what we have in the last few years in the history of the game

Agree BULLS brand now Toxic as if the non payment of pensions is correct then I can't imagine any companies wanting to be connected with those wrong doings.So brand ruined,Odsal gone and if nothing is sorted,our best players also,fans mis sold season tickets with more debts etc to be revealed.Start again as Bradford Northern,hopefully keep as many of squad as possible and try to get back to Bradford somehow.No way anyone will take over the debt,why would they?The players and fans deserve so much more.I tell you what though,I feel very uncomfortable with the timings of Chalmers deciding to leave Odsal ,then him bailing out and the sheet hitting the fan.Uncanny right?

There has to be a full investigation by a independent body not associated with the Rfl as it truly is not right. How can the Rfl get it wrong so many times. As for Ac u can have a championship squad of 38 players. I know the academy was compulsory but not sure about reserve team. Come on money men start a new team with a new stadium and if we have to start again in league one so be it as long as we have a club that is sustainable. We need to distance ourselves as far as possible from the bulls brand. Why are the Rfl and Ac not giving us answers it truly does stink

Well said,

Again well said Jay.

We have some of the 'answers' Jay, but need for the time being to keep some of our cards close to our chest.

And before some cynics bleat out .. " [iyour cards (or your only 'card') is the 'joker'[/i " ... then if that's to be your view, then so be it

"Never underestimate the human capacity for delusion" - Roger Cohen

A quote by a well renowned jewish author and journo.

As for delusion Dilligaf then pl consider the following, and your views and those of other members would of course be welcome.

Were you and the many loyal and long suffering Bulls ever deluded by any of the following owners/persons, or were any (or all) all of these persons at some stage deluded themselves?:

1) Peter Hood
2) Omar Khan
3) Marc Green
4) Andrew Chalmers
5) Chris Brereton, and
6) Nigel Wood

Be interest to hear your learned opinion(s).

We'll work on your understandable cynicism re our motives as time progresses.

Time to watch the Grand Final - it's 14 years since we last featured.

Having read some of this thread, and others from the times of previous changes of ownership, it never rains but it pours in your neck of the woods.
We should count ourselves lucky for Simon Moran on the money front, and Darren Burns on the playing front, for keeping us in the topflight.

Hope the wheel of fortune turns full circle in the none too distant, and you have a stadium, within Bradford, you can call a home ground.

Thank you for such supportive words from the wider RL community.

Hopefully we'll be playing against the Wolves again in the not too distant future, and of course in the SL.

Further confirmation that you're in La La Land. The only hopes you should have are that the Club actually survives this latest mess and that any new owners only spend what can be afforded, which will make you a mid to top end Championship club for the foreseeable (although after a probable dip to nearer the bottom). Many fans also need to get that into their heads.
