Rfl seem stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If they set the bar to low your club ends up in administration if they set it to high no one is prepared to put the money in

Yep my heart bleeds for them.

I'd be interested to know how a club could break even. I think that's impossible without substantial injections of cash to cover the ground upkeep. A SL club couldn't manage it with crowds of 10k.

Fantasy. Especially to expect supporter input after all the upset of the past 5 years.

This club is dead unless someone like a Ken Davy is prepared to prop it up or if it moves to a new home. Even then I have my doubts. Where would a new club go? Horsfall? If so it would be resigned to a part time future in front of crowds of a few hundred with no way of aspiring to anything better.

I see parallels with Hudders in the 80s. A club with a proud history but fallen on hard times playing in an antiquated stadium.

So what do you want them to do?

They're panicking I doubt the long term future of the club has come into their thinking right now.

They always seem to be firefighting and this is no different.

Interesting quote from Welham in the Guardian today.

Welham: "We were getting no answers to these questions from the people in charge of the administration and, to make matters worse, we were getting fed lies from people who said they knew what was happening all the time."

Stu Duffy as GM told the players the club would be the richest in Rugby League. The players, my son included all bought it and look what happend. False hope is dangerous.

Ken Davy wouldn't invest in our club. He may be generous on the face of it with the Giants but he's also not stupid.

His own company have offices at the ground (they used to not sure if they still do). He made a few quid out of selling town and their shares in the ground on.

The current Bulls lost over a million quid in year one of green's tenure and it was the year we went down so the cash wasn't spent on players. That is completely unsustainable.

Speaking of green seen the Instagram post from Alex Simmons today? First meeting of the Yorkshire spurs fan club (Leeds Spurs). With a photo of its members. Simmons, some other bloke and that piece of green.

Who's the at the back?...

What happened to the guy with the waste processing plant proposal ?

WTF did the RFL not agree to a 3 way deal, RFL & 2 interested parties ?

Sell the lease to the $hithole to the waste guy, he buys the land & stadium from Bradford Council, he bulldozes the lot & builds his plant.

RFL get ££££ for lease & agree Bulls can groundshare & start 2017 in CH1 with new owner & ground share somewhere affordable.

Promote the highest placed CH1 Club to take Bulls slot.

Council get money, RFL get money, Bulls get to survive & rebuild properly, albeit from CH1, whats the £€CK!N' problem ? Everyone is satisfied (at differing levels).

Is this too simplistic a view or completely unworkable ?

Yours in sport.

Its ridiculous how toxic your club is. The rfl should never have got involved with the clubs problems but they did..

What more is there to say until some one genuine steps forward?

I hate to say it but I'm inclined to agree with both points. If you could enjoy it a little more subtly though, I'd be much obliged.

Ste100 mate, Bongser absolutely adores your enthusiasm and the fact that only your, albethey well-intentioned, posts are more universally ignored than those of an over-errrrrrrm-tired Bongser.

Yours in Port.

1 major drawback in that proposal, it makes the RFL look complete and utter incompetent fools. They stole (paid a pittance) for the lease to safe guard rugby league at the iconic stadium in Bradford, also where will the bulls get £20m from to build a new stadium. The reason the waste recycling deal didn't come off was probably due to having to fund a stadium fit for the bulls to play in. Odsal is costing more and more each year just to keep up to current H & S regulations ( the council knew what they were doing off-loading that millstone with a near £5m sweetener, which was squandered) Is any business really going to pay £20m over the odds for odsal lease when in theory all they have to do is bide their time and wait for the land to become vacant. Just got to hope there is a philanthropist bidding and not just cold hard business men

Too simplistic I'm afraid.

Where is the suitable ground?

The highest placed L1 club by now has recruited for that division with a view to winning promotion and would not easily be able to compete in Championship. They would be in danger of relegation and being worse off in a years time than they they are now.

Getting planning permission for a waste disposal site is fraught with danger. Petitions from local people could delay things for years and that's always assuming the council would support the proposal in the first place.

You are looking at things purely from a Bulls perspective. Other people and organisations that are involved will have different priorities.

Bobbie goulding reckoning he's heard who's getting the club on Twitter. Made out it was very promising if true.
