Without seeing the full accounts it's difficult to comment, but an accounting loss and a cashflow are vastly different things.

| In the current political and economic climate can’t see the council giving up the freehold unless they got a lot of money for it.
As for the lease I don’t expect us to be playing anywhere else other than a crumbling Odsal for the foreseeable future. There are no other options on the table.
SL club owners that are sticking their oars in would do better to concentrate on their own clubs.

Oh I dunno. It would be a jolly jape for them to spend so long with their eye off the ball playing games with our lease that they forget to pay a tax bill and go pop.
Or they may completely forget to submit their annual impotent threat to move out of their ground to the local paper.

To be fair to them, once licensing got scrapped, they had to replace their equally impotent promise that the ground was getting improved shortly and would definitely be up to standard by the time the license kicked in. Although that one was only every 3 years instead of the annual tradition that you mentioned.

Though, never ever forget that one of our former chairmen was a solicitor. A solicitor a who specialised in company law, which would presumably have included a teensy bit about contracts, or so one would have thought. None of this stopped him from signing a player who was already legally contracted to another club (I'll not name him but it was Iestyn Harris) and which went on to cost the Bulls an eyewatering amount.
There is a much in the idea that very intelligent men lose all sense, common AND business, when 'sport' comes into the equation.

| Quote: Bulliac "The lease itself can only really be worth what it draws in rent and as we were, famously, paying 'peppercorn' before we sold it to the RFL I'm not sure what value would be put on it. The freehold however would be a different story. I'm no property expert but I'd suspect the two leases involved would be the biggest drawback to selling the freehold to an outside bidder.'"
The peppercorn head lease is owned by the RFL and that runs to the year 2152.
The underlease the old Bulls had was only for 30 years. That ran from 2011 so has another 23 years to go. I assume (but have no knowledge) that this underlease was simply passed over to the present Bulls. (They could of course have instead entered into a brand new document).
However as an asset it is certainly of value as IIRC the rent is 72k p.a. Which I would choose over a peppercorn, any day. I'd guess that a value for the remainder of the lease would have something to do with the loss of rental income for the remainder of term which at this point would amount to roughly £1.65m if you ignore rent reviews.
The underlease contained clauses giving the head lessee the right to boot, subject to providing us with a 16000 capacity stadium to play in within 4 miles, if they needed the ground for redevelopment. That is now a real option as the "rugby covenant" expires in the spring. So selling the freehold to an outside bidder may well be very much a live option, but us moving to a suitable stadium would need to be part of any deal.

13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

| Surprise surprise it’s those two s.
Like I said the rfl should call their bluff. It’s mischief making from a pair of gob sh173s that are clearly hanging on by a thread and trying to deflect attention away from it.
Interesting to see we’re one of the clubs field approach to take in when they are having their annual strop with the landlords.

| It's almost as though Wakefield and HKR see you as an imminent threat, now you are on the way back up. I'd take it as a compliment that they are trying to de-stabilise you. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

In the grand tradition of all virtual terrace posts, I've taken the Wakefield new ground thread off at a tangent to mention this. Maybe let other fans know our club is a plaything for bored chairmen.
