nail on the head!!!

NOW it's unfair?! Was it unfair when you were cheating your way into winning silverware and we got to play you three times? Don't remember any calls of unfair back then.

love these hammerings we are giving out to bradford, used to be the other way round

Wow - The pain runs deep in this bitter town!

Wood,conroy,brooks,Mellor, bates and Roberts count towards total too. Thing to remember is there's a lot of lower numbers missing in our squad eg 6, 8 and 10 due to late departures of sammut, scruton and Carvell. Don't think loan players count on 25 man squad either.

Even more painful given they still haven't won anything of note despite the millions Davy must now have put into the club to fund the side.

I think the ratio is that for every sensible flying prop that comes over there's a further three flying cocks.

I never said he was poached did I? And no you're correct, he wasn't a Hudds Junior he is an Aussie.
I came on here for a sensible conversation but looking at some of the bitter comments on here I'm obviously in the wrong place.

jools and brearley never stay long though.

at least he has got millions to pump into the club unlike certain recent owners of bradford bulls


but as FP rightly says , finishing bottom 4 years on the trot did our club no favours whatsoever, we had to go down ( eventually) and build our way back up,with a far smaller fan base than yours, which we have done quite nicely over the last 10 years.
im pretty sure given the right people in charge bradford will do that..

If the new SL format does not see any promotion or relegation after 2-3 years and SL teams just stronger and stronger than the lower league i's not sure it will remain around for long.

As I understand from what I've read, the SL cap goes up to around £2m and the Champ to a bit less than half of that. Not sure about parachute payments as, if the usual applies and SL contracts at relegated clubs are voided, then, unlike say soccer, there is no real financial need anyway as the big money contracts 'disappear', though it is vital to maintain the academy.

Again, to the best of my knowledge, Championship clubs will still be allowed just the one overseas players and I've heard nothing to suggest there will be any difference for the mini-league, though as you say, and particularly with four clubs on the search, it would be difficult to find players to bring in anyway.

It would be good to hear something different but the system was brought in to maintain the status quo, imo - and it will do a pretty good job.
