. . . . . IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS!!!!

Come on guys. It's not deadline day yet. Hold all of those thoughts until everything AND everyone has been tried. Twice.

[sizeAnd then, and only then, consider the above should the worst ACTUALLY come to the worst.[/size

Will cross the bridge when I come to it, but I won't be coming to it, because it's not going to happen.

Hmm hard one if Bulls reform then obviously Bulls, otherwise Dudley Hill (my club from U8's - U17's), Wibsey (my club U17's) or Keighley Cougars (my scholarship team) .

Hope my aunty doesnt come for your sake!!

Lets be honest, worst case scenario is that current team goes bust and club starts new plc called something like bulls2012 and Bradford Bulls play in Championship 1 next year. Most likely with a 3 - 4 times the attendance than any other club in the division, get promotion in the first year and compete in Championship in 2014 and probably be front runner for Super League license in 2015 application process.

You can get rid of some of those second rate players on big wages that you seem to have accumulated over the last 4 - 5 years and bring more youngsters through.

And if you think about it, that's probably a good outcome for Bradford as you can start again with new administration and no debt and a good outcome for the other clubs in championship 1 as they would benefit from big gates when they have home fixtures against you and regardless of going bust or not, Bradford Bulls are always going to be a big name club.

This is true ^



And this^

However....If the club did need to reform in the lower leagues, but kept the history of my club, and could not be called the Bradford Bulls, there is a part of me that would want the "new/reformed" club to revert to being Bradford Northern.

Was one of the three hundred and odd in 1963 just before we closed and will be there choose where we play and whatever division if push really does come to shove. Too much of my life has been with Northern and Bulls and always will be. But still keeping the faith, its not going to happen! COYB

i will never support any other team, you may see this as daft but it is the way i feel. It's either Bulls or stick pins in my eyes.

You sicken me BullBoy!!! ha ha

In response to the OP Im sure we can fit 10k in at Parry Lane

I don't think that it would be that easy to get a Super League license again. As it stands the ground wouldn't qualify unless millions was spent and the seating doubled. The Insolvency criteria would be a major stumbling block too.

IIRC Odsal does meet minimum criteria. Despite other fans not liking the ground or not liking the fact that it does meet minimum criteria.

Financial woes would be a minus point, but not insurmountable as Widnes have very well demonstrated.

I like this idea!^ but it wont be as easy as that...

And we demonstrated even better.

You will still be around this time next year, I'm sure of it.

You certainly did, but I was just quoting the "up from the championship" angle Widnes had and we would need if we reformed in the lower leagues, regarding eventually getting a super league licence.

Cheers for the positive thoughts
