This talk of money is all well and good but it is detracting from our inevitable[1] destiny of rampaging through the play offs to Old Trafford.

| Quote: Him "IIRC clubs get roughly £1.4m per year from the Sky deal. That's roughly £117k per month. From what I'd heard the RFL's priority was/is to get Bradford through to the end of the season in any form. The season ends in October so that means the RFL could advance money due to Bradford in October, November & December (and possibly January - depends how they decide the yearly term) so that, combined with gate receipts etc, it sees Bradford through to September without actually costing the RFL anything.
But then that's not a conspiracy theory and doesn't involve either Bradford screwing the sport or the RFL "throwing money away", so it won't go down well on RLFans.'"
Thats fine if Bradford haven't got any wages/bills to pay after October, but unfortunately they most likely will have and with no games, no more money from this years sky budget and the uncertainty whether they will be selling any season tickets for next year as yet means they have to find a backer of some sort. Whether that remains the RFL or someone satisfies the RFL and the clubs creditors with an acceptable offer is the be all and end all of the situation. |

Of course it does, but it doesn't mean the RFL are giving Bradford money that "isn't Bradford's" or that the RFL will lose out somehow by advancing Bradford the money. |

the RFL have only stated so far that the Bulls will be "funded" until the end of the playing season, where that money comes from, Sky advance of what is due to the club in 2012 or other sources they haven't said.....

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

You just need to work on the "somebodies" now. Try taking your tablet with water after meals.

Maybe our crust eating friend from the previous page is more informed than me, why not ask him instead? |

RFL need shafting because they allowed the Bulls franchise, they deemd it a strong business proposiition they either did not read it, ignored it or quite simply proves licensing is ajoke and my 3 year old could have written the application. RFL = No backbone.

While I cannot disagree with the content of the argument, 2 wrongs dont always make a right

What a fekking wassock.
Where the fekk would your club be if you were not being bankrolled by Davy? Down the bloody toilet, that's where.
And please explain to us just how, precisely, you are qualified to make such a dumbass statement?

at the end of the day the RFL were advised by a body that looked at the finance plans of the applicants for a SL licence, who is to say that the info given to the assessors was 100% truthful and accurate as it probably contained "projected" income from season tickets, pay on the day fans, merchandise sales, sponsorship etc etc. any of these could have been vastly incorrect or not come to fruition.
If the RFL had said to the Bulls in July 2011 we don't think your application is good enough and you won't get a licence, almost everyone in RL would have called the RFL a bunch of Idiots. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Maybe if they had used the word ' speulative ' to describe it everybody would have agreed with them, they did over the Fax application, as you say, hindsight is a wonderful thing, when used selectively |
