I wouldn't go as far as I don'the care, but I'm very disinterested this time round. The first couple of times I wanted to find out every bit of information as soon as I could to know what was going on.
This time? Que Sera Sera.

| Yep, I'd agree with that. It's a sad state of affairs when we're conditioned to this crap really.

I have to agree, my apathy towards the whole situation is growing by the day.
I had hoped that Marc Green would bring in stability and, hopefully, prosperity to the club. But as this thing goes on it just seems like he's just another chancer

| I am going to assume ('cause that is what everyone else is doing) that the bank (being the upright guardian of the public interest that they are) saw the WUP and as it was the second in one quarter decided they would exercise their super powers and freeze the accounts.
Being the upright members of the community they, are the bank would not deal with anyone but MG. MG comes back and today everything is sorted...
The only thing I can't wrap into my assumption is why the RFL didn't move this months contribution a couple of days forward?
At this point I could get really conspiratorial and say that the RFL is probably displeased with the charge on the lease MG's placed and if there is an actual witch-hunt it will be the RFL on MG as they have finally decided the future for Odsal and MG does not fit in seamlessly....
There I think I have everything covered, rampant optimism with just a tad of loony conspiracy theory.... but I also find it odd that that only Mssrs Gledhill and Heppenstall are carping on about payments? I'd have thought the rampant Leeds biased press would have been foaming at the mouth?

Except according to this morning's T&A article, it hasn't been sorted and people still haven't been paid.

True. If only we had something like online banking to make payments outside of normal working hours eh?
Bloody lack of technology I tell thee.

| Sort of debunks the "RFL have paid everyone" line doesn't it?
TBH I'm not following this with anything like the interest of the previous two meltdowns. Apathy rules. This is a sorry state of affairs. The only thing that really makes me fed up is that the work to get the Academy in such a good place could now all be for nothing.
I hope for the sake of them that it isn't.

Crazy idea. It will never catch on.

That's not far off where I am too. Although throw a little bit of anger in there too that this crap is happening again.
I agree about the academy though. I don't for a minute believe the club will go under, as I'm sure there'll be someone willing to buy it. If we lose a load of first team players along with that, so be it. But if we lose the staff, players and set up we have in the academy that looks genuinely very very good, it's going to be a huge kick in the teeth.

You are right there. I myself have supported them from being a kid which is now 40 years ago and check on the Bulls every day in the T and A. The problem is not only the two past administrations but we have been dying a slow death since 2006. 10 years of problems. I used to go to Odsal and clear snow in winter and stood on muddy ledges where the players came down the steps by the stand but have never really loved the ground. I would move out to a smaller ground today if possible. To me, Odsal is a mill stone around the clubs neck but many fans say they would never go anywhere else.
I am starting to believe our best chance of long term stability is to fold and then find a new owner who reforms the club as we did in the past. Hopefully, this could be in a nice smaller stadium shared with possibly PA or a local Union club. Call it Bradford Northern or am I dreaming?
Whatever happens this last 10 years of struggle needs to stop one way or another as it can't continue for much longer even if we do some how get through to the start of next season.
Agree with above about the juniors. I couldn't care less about losing two thirds of the first team. We must keep some of them, Smith, the junior coaches and all of the youngsters. Lose them and we are back at rock bottom again. That would be the final straw for many fans and who would then buy a ST.

Well, no they don't but players and staff can check on line at a minute past midnight and, if due, the money should be on their balance.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there and it's probably the reason why buyers with deeper pockets than Khan and Green haven't come forward to buy the club in the past (Mandy K not withstanding but who knows how serious that bid was beyond the grandstanding). Even during the Super League years Odsal was a millstone and the club was losing money.
I reckon a lot of pain would have been saved if a bold decision had been taken during those years when there was talk of the Odsal Superbowl, an outlandish scheme if ever there was. The club and the council should have pushed for a smaller scheme instead of wasting time, energy and money on the "Wembley of the North"; something more reflective of a rugby league club trying to live within its means.
