Would you rather see us fold now or see out the rest of the season assuming that no rescue package comes to the rescue to save the club in its current form?

Personally i'd rather be put out of our misery now and leave the RFL to sort the mess out. I think they are only interested in us seeing the season out just so that it doesn't screw up the league table. As soon as the season is over we will be on our own and no one will give a monkeys.

At the moment I purely see this as the RFL looking after number 1 (and in many ways, rightly so).

However, as soon as we finish our fixtures you can guarantee we will get dropped from a great height unless a rescue deal is really a possibility.

Now. It's time to put an end to this. The RFL can sort it all out then. They will enjoy having an empty Odsal to play with.

I'm not sure I know enough to make this call.

I've said before that if we could be sure that we would not be permitted to carry on in superleague next year then I would definately want to end it right now and hand the RFL a PR disaster to deal with.

I'm not indulging in the spate of RFL bashing NOW because I can't really fathom what their intentions are. But in this hypothetical situation where the RFL are asking us to go quietly into the dark, I'd much rather we go out flinging the Vs.

I find the concept that the governing body of a tin-pot regional sport would be willing to sacrifice 10k of fans is remarkable. It certainly wouldn't be for 'the greater good'; To suggest they'd go watch someone else is risible.

Its perhaps a bit early to pull the plug, all is not yet lost. But we could easily reach the point in the next couple of weeks where there is no realistic bid on the table and those currently providing their services for free start to walk away from the club. Simply paying the players will not be sufficient. It could all become horribly embarassing very quickly eg games being cancelled at the last minute because of problems akin to the lack of pitch paint.

You mean let the RFL sort out a mess entirley of the Bradford Bulls' own doing? The RFL have taken as many steps as they can to help you but wont be held to ransom by the conditions (whatever they may be) of any potential new owners.

What's happening at Braford is a really poop state for the fans. But for the fans to keep on harping about the big bad RFL when they have done more than they have to to keep you ticking over irks me!

Some (not all) Bulls fans need to realise the mess that needs sorting is its own!

We know where the problem has come from, we are not that stupid. The point is the RFL are only interested in keeping us going until the end of the season to suit their own ends, regarding bad publicity and expunging records etc, so please forgive me for not giving a tom tit about what happens to the SL table whenwe are gone.

I don't believe I have all the answers to say either way. Ideally I'd like to see the season out.

I feel with all the help we have had from the other Super League teams, morally if possible we should see the season out. Also in the future ruining this years competition would do us no favours whatsoever.

I think its a moot question, because whatever happens the RFL will ensure we'll see out the season now

By a mix of advance Sky moneys, gate receipts, donations from others and even the odd 'loan' we WILL fulfill our last five fixtures - its too close to the end of the season for the RFL NOT to let that happen. We might send a bunch of kids and trialists to Catalans, but we'll field some sort of team in the last match of the season...

I dont like the idea of this thread (no offense to the OP) but its just seems as though some have given up and already decided we have gone...

The RFL have given us a lot of help, more than they have helped other teams in the past but they will not spoon feed us and nor should they be expected to! I think both the RFL and us are in a hole but atleast it is the same hole! The RFL are playing tough ball over the conditions because they cant afford to lose any more ground over this whole scenario and any reasonable party with money would be nervous about investing any money into a club if they didnt know what league they would be in after a few months or even if they can adapt the ground to make it self viable so its a stalemate at the moment!

But negotiations are exactly that, and i am hopeful that a common ground will be found very soon! We as fans shouldnt be putting across the vibe off lets just pack it in now and screw the rest... well not IMO! icon_biggrin.gif
