MMmm, maybe, but depends how they spin it.

"This is just what we were hoping for, and it justifies our tactics of working with the admin team and going through the legal processes in a correct manner".
statement ends

According to Comapnies House it's still an admin. And I know that data is basically "live" and the latest they have. They'll sell you automated access to it through the same interface on that basis.

If it's eight weeks exactly then there are still four full days before the papers have to be submitted.

Not exactly going behind their back when the public domain has being brought and a compaby lodged at companies house.

Watch the RFL up our penalty to -18 now. As a favour obviously.

At least he can sell the domain to the eventual new owners. My view on this conversion of debt to shares is one of incredulity. Firstly the HMRC wil not want shares in a RL club and secondly they are basically worthless anyway and are just postponing any possible return of the debt to the next admin. If this is all driven by Greens desperation you can bet there will be a catch, to me I think he has conned once too often to be credible in any way shape or form. I sincerely hope that the RFL do not cave into this attempt to force their hand. In simple terms they can continue with this process of trying to get a new pro club formed in Bradford and just deny a licence to this (in my opinion) dodgy attempt by the Wasps owner. RU are already trying to pee all over our game with the Solomona issue, do we really want the RU getting inside knowledge of the RFL and RL in general. Something really doesn't sit right, and until a full explanation is published and all these so called NDAs get kicked into touch, I would be very cautious of getting any hopes up.

Bull Mania if the RFL have no knowledge of Petit continuing to try and sell it after announcing he was liquidating the club, then it is behind the RFLs back.

So we had a position where two bids were accepted by the rfl but were rejected by the administrator. Now we have a bid accepted by the administrator but not the rfl. The difference seems to be how much Green gets out of the deal, and that given Bulls could be sold as a going concern it would be the rfl that puts us into liquidation. My brain hurts.

And all the time this debacle is going on the season gets closer and closer

The domain is still registered to the same company (as it has been since 96) but they're with a different hosting company. Not ukfast any more.

Prof Tony Collins never had any issue with the Bulls claiming honours won by Northern and by Bradford as part of their history.

If it's good enough for him then it's good enough for me.

With the same company, not to the same company. Doh.

That is excellent news.

If you are kidding - the, expect me to call you a very naughty name.

The only 2 club officials to have made public comments about this that I know of are the Cougars coach & the Fev chairman. They both are of the opinion it would be unfair to bring a C1 club up at short notice. But it would be interesting to get the opinion of Haven & Worky...

Does anyone know if Green has a son & if so, what company he is a director in?

And Barrow.

The earliest records have the our club playing at Little Horton Cricket Club’s ground just off All Saint’s Road near to St. Lukes’s Hospital and then having what can only be called a peripatetic existence until moving to Park Avenue in 1880. In 1885 Bradford Rugby Club is listed as one of the inaugural clubs in the Northern Union which was the precursor of the Rugby League.

This all leads to a debate about just what constitutes a ‘club’ and as to how certain aspects of it can fall by the way side, whilst the ‘club’ itself seems carry on ad infinitum and to the question of exactly how do we define ‘ a club’.

It’s perhaps easier to say what it isn’t. It isn’t, for instance, the players because they change constantly nor is it the directors for similar reasons. It isn’t just the supporters either because eventually we die or lose interest, it isn’t the ground or any set of buildings either since they can be changed too. It isn’t any commercial aspect either since we still regard any new company formed to run the club as still being ‘the club’. It isn’t even a combination of any or all of the above.

It seems that the ‘club’ is some kind of spiritual link, in which the baton is passed through the generations but which has no logical link to earthly considerations like businesses going bust or changes in circumstance. Since this is so, can we disregard the 1907 decision to play soccer and the 1963 playing and financial disaster and indeed our most recent brushes with demise, which killed a few companies but which clearly didn’t end the ‘club’ and we can stick to the Bulls/Northern being born in 1863?

For those who made it to the end, I thank you for your patience!
