Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "I on the other had think the criteria was set just to make sure the Bulls made it. Otherwise why say you had to finish Top 6 in the past two seasons? Surely you’d go by playoff places which is 1-5. Why include the 6th team? Do you think they would have said Top 6 if Bradford had made the playoffs?

Its good to see everyones differing opinions on this and to see peoples way if thinking. Creates good debate
I'm with you JJ, there seems to be a lot of the way the criteria has been put together that leads to including us to have a chance at least of meeting the majrity of it. Are the SL club owners seeing a Bradford away support spending money in their ground?

I think the main thing in the whole situation is that the person making the reccomendation is completely impartial and will make a decision based on the pure facts in front of him as opposed to any liking or dislike towards any of the applicants. This really means for me everyone has a much of a chance as each other.

I do thnk we are in with a real chance personally looking at the majority of the criteria, quick look at it, Fev and York no academy. Leigh a barmpot owner who has a tendancy to spit his dummy at any given moment. Toulouse, well Catalans have been in a long time with very little development of French players and have a Challenge cup to show for it. Plus costs rise to the clubs having to go to france twice a year.

London are the big players for me as they have done unbelieveably in my opinion with regards the academy and getting oung local lads in the team. The only problem is the crowds which are of no benefit to current clubs apart from maybe the sway of a team in the Capital helping with discussions regardng the TV deal.

Then there is us, academy renowned for still producing super league players despite being in the championship. Big away support inthe eyes of other chairmen, I mean that first game away at Leigh when I sat with you on the bus was mad.

Going to be very interesting

Their last set of accounts (to end Jan 2020) show them to have £3.8m of debt despite MK writing off that owed to him (£5.4m) during the year ending Jan 2019.

Wakefield don't. Not sure what the deal is with Hull KR now once Hudgell is gone.
Salford don't either. Koukash didn't pay them all off either btw. Instead, the club avoided any punishment for entering administration (like we did) by agreeing to pay off all creditors via a CVA. Except they never actually bothered to pay them all back, which is why super league then decided to dish out their punishment in this season just gone. Once Salford's season was effectively over and so the punishment had absolutely zero effect on the club whatsoever.

But, you know. I'm not bitter or anything icon_confused.gif

The stability of Wakefield doesn't make any sense to me. Congratulations to them for it but they have no sugar-daddy and are playing in a crumbling stadium so it would be good if Mr Carter and his colleagues ran a seminar for the rest of us on how the hell they are doing it.

icon_lol.gif yep it baffles me too, when I was down there helping out with the stadium barrier repairs and then using the unit in the corner brewing there was times when I sat with Chris and we discussed areas of saving, one of the biggest was the utilities saving on electric and water, staff wages does help and there's a little army of workers pecking away and repairs too all volentary but given tickets for the game and they do earn them too.
at the time emley football club was playing there and used to leave power on so they they got kicked out.
evening games the floodlights lights bar a couple near the changing rooms was turned off when it was seen that the stadium was empty, many a time I got caught out bringing casks back from the north stand
he always said you look after your pennies the pounds will come later.
when he was interested in bradford a few yrs back you missed out on someone who would of shown you the thrifty way to do it.
