| Everyone has their own line in the sand I guess when it comes to commitment to the cause. Living about 5 miles from Castleford, it's very tempting for me to watch a few games down t'lane than trek over to Bradford to watch dross.

There's always Fev. Wear your Bulls shirt and they may charge you £2 more to get in.

| I'm afraid RL is now down to the owners financial clout let's hope we get lucky this time.
We have the potential it needs a he'll of a lot of investment from the word go either way.

The clubs sorry threads? How many points sorry posts did we start on? And how many of our best posters has this crazy decision cost us? Is Green behind it? I

That's the way all professional team sports have gone I'm afraid.

Totally agree, I said it in an interview on sky sports news when Admin 1 was announced that you can only hope to compete in RL these days with a sugar daddy.

| Protracted negotiations - This is no good for the RFL, no good for the fans and no advertisement for the game overall.Protected by cloak and dagger, soundbites and no transparency at all.

| Quote: HamsterChops "And there goes O'Brien. Confirmed by Huddersfield on a 3 year contract.
The sheer amount of young talent Huddersfield take from Bradford is unreal. Not that I blame them for signing him or O'Brien for securing his future. But why would Huddersfield bother with a proper academy system when they continue to get the best young talent from us?'"
Annoying isnt it? Halifax can't even afford a decent scouting system yet we now have our reserves but we are used to teams like Huddersfield and Bradford coming and raiding our area yet it turns out Bradford probably could not afford one either. Im not your typical Bradford hating Fax fan(I do not mind Bradford at all) but I can see why fans may get a little upset about things like that.

| Let's hope we are lucky!
If there is a.n.other in with Thorne bid,
Or Madjeski with irvine and Lamb who knows?
I personally would prefer to fight our way out of trouble In championship this year and build on that, than get relegated again.
Who cares what some knuckle dragging cave dwellers from Fax have to say on it or any other fans for that matter.
I also hope karma comes round and bites Huddersfield hard, you never know what could happen in 2 or 3 years in an MPG!

| Has any player left since the meeting that you did not already know was leaving? Chances are the main ones that had contracts in the bag were not even at the meeting. Other than the ones that were announced early Im not sure any have left.

100% correct Wigan,Saints, Warrington,Catalans, Huddersfield,Salford,all make losses, they are all bailed out by benefactors, Leeds are probably the one club that make a profit, even then it is probably break even rather than make a profit.

But that's only after 20 years of building towards that. Back in the late 90s, Leeds were in just as much trouble and were helped out by a sugar daddy. Difference being that sugar daddy bailed them out but then ensured that he didn't just keep bankrolling them, instead they used the money and the security to get themselves into a position where they could sustain themselves. Doesn't happen overnight, but it helps to have someone who can help you out so that you can get there eventually.
Exactly the right thing that those teams being bankrolled should be doing. Sadly most of them don't, as they're too focused on short term gains.
