Going back to the Hood quotes. If there has to be a potential sale of players to settle the books, then I for one, would be totally brassed off.

If your reading this Peter, we got to 500k to prevent this from happening. Now its your turn.

The attendance of 20800 was allegedly 4800 above what had been budgeted for (we were told anything above 16k goes into the pot) - a bit of simple maths means that the average income from each of those extra fans was therefore just under £10.42 each.

Sorry but many sports clubs have had to sell their crown jewels to pay the bills for ever and a day, its just the way it is. Why should Bradford be any different? Yes its painful, and obvisiously not what anyone would want to have to do but if its that or go belly up then it has to be done.

That, imo, is the one unarguable truth of all of this.

I stand corrected but the info from these boards is gthat Bulls season ticket holders were going to pay on the door as oposed to using tickets and the 16000 gate is the first I have heard sorry.

Many did, in fact I paid three times altogether on Friday night, if you include the season ticket. Truth is though that many wouldn't have been able to afford to pay again (think of a family with four members, for instance), much as they probably would have liked to. There was never any decision by the club to make everyone pay on the gate, and it wouldn't have been legal anyway, so it was far from clear cut as to how much income came from the game.

I hope the club are not relying on getting a club as a consideration! It confuses me and is why I probably should be reading my purchasing and supply law text book and not reading posts!

The very first thing I ever learnt, on day one, when studying mercantile law as part of the first year for my qualification, was that offer+acceptance+consideration=contract*

Then we moved onto snails in bottles and smelly smokeballs and 1930's car parks...

It'll be engraved on my mind to the very end of time, I fear.

* unless applied to several former Bulls players

Indeed. I liked Donaghue v Stevenson better, cos the women went all peculiar when the circumstances were described in detail...

But Mercantile Law is frighteningly exciting compared with Company Law - trust me!

Was the time limit included in the offer. Didn't it mention 5pm on 06/04. Srely extending the daedline is tantamount to making a new offer. Only arguing hypothetically by the way.

But they have made no offer. At the moment they have a lot of promises to make individual gifts, if enough people promise to make these gifts. Which, seemingly, not enough had as at Sat. a.m..
