Interesting tweet from Martin Sadler today

"@MartynSadler: So far this season there have been five Super League matches with crowds of over 18,000. One club involved in 3 of them. But which one?"

I bet no one can guess......lol

Pretty clear Martyn is helping to make the case for why would anyone with half a commercial brain cell eject us.

2 x Leeds 1 x Wigan btw.

Completely agree - he later makes reference to the meeting held today by the RFL, discussing the future of Bradford

Was a SLE meeting. Focus was Bulls and SL team numbers in 2013. Would expect M. Sadler to know the outcome of that meeting given his position in the game.

I have just seen this posted on Witter, its our 2013 Squad at the preseason training camp, Brighton.

I thought that in the old days, they knew how to bind into a scrum, though? Ganson would penalise that effort every time.

Just look what you've done FA! the LF has p'd his pants at the thought of being refereed by Ganson. or he is extremely hirsute.

The latest RFL statement, following the SLE meeting, is a short one....

RFL statement – Bradford Bulls

The Super League clubs were today given an update by the RFL on the due diligence process the governing body is undertaking on the three offers submitted by the consortiums interested in purchasing Bradford Bulls.

The Super league clubs were encouraged by the detail presented to them and have mandated the RFL Executive to continue working towards bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

The RFL will now continue discussions and meet with the bidders as soon as possible.

sounds positive, i think?

insofar as the detail is there, ie the structure of the business plans is ok, but there is no comment on whether the content makes any sense. so a very small positive step, but no grounds for optimism. But I'm not throwing out the bath water yet.

I think a serious case of Fatigue is now upon the Forum regards this ongoing saga. Best to look forward to encouraging the Players to get to the Play Offs!

Although been mentioned several times as here www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... -1-4856718 The Bulls fanbase is seen as one of the key reasons for the Club being able to survive, funny how that now seems to be the case!

Now THAT report is what you would hope the T&A would report, does seem very very positive from telling us who the preferred bidder seems to be, to looking likely for SL next year, about players staying and maybe under new ownership as early as next week!
Fingers crossed but great to read something so positive!

One slight innacuracy in the report in that it says bradford city submitted a business plan, which we know they didnt, but otherwise much more positive. Plenty of info in there that T&A failed to report in their piece today.

I'm refusing to feel optimistic until the deal is done. Too many deadlines have been and gone. I'm a bit sceptical about the BPA bid, but that's not based on any hard facts.

Maybe the T&A are juts being more cautious?
