Well indeed. In the absence of a crystal ball I'll have to entertain myself with other things while I wait impatiently for tomorrow - I wonder which recently exiled Bull you are then? Hmmm...

No enjoyment out of this mucker, as a Leigh fan I've been in dark places to many times.

| Seen as though the Bulls are supposed to be playing at Huddersfield in Luke Robinsons testimonial game 2 week today, could we come up with any ideas as to how that game could still go ahead. How many more ex Bulls players would they need to sign to get a full team to play against so we wouldn't need to send a team that day.
Hope that made sense

| Cheesey smug Reet-Petit said in T&A "...To be clear, the issue has not been the potential for any other development.........."
How is that making it f'kin clear? - A much clearer way you n0bhead would be say "To be clear, the issue is..............(blankety blank)...."
Fill in the gaps - cos he cant!

953.jpg 2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

| Absolutely no one knows who is getting the club. Not even the RFL. There said it.
Deadline for bids is midday on Monday. A new club will be born at some point. The only thing that may change is where they start as timescales and player availability are short. The RFL may have to concede this and it wouldn't surprise me if they have alternative plans already in place if it is decided their original plans won't work.

Very true.
I'm sure Huddersfield can muster a Bradford Bulls select team themselves
Hope something can be sorted out for Luke Robinsons sake, be a shame if he misses out

| Apologies for being blunt but testimonial and friendly games are the least of our worries at the moment.

| Quote: HamsterChops "But on the plus side, it gets rid of the chancers who have no money and are trying to get the fans to pay for everything. The Richard Lambs of the world who shout from the rooftops every time there's an admin, but does absolutely nothing when push comes to shove. The Mark Moores of the world who try to buy the club with the season ticket money, who have already walked out on the club TWICE by spitting dummies about points being deducted.
As much as everyone wants a prudent business plan, the first year is going to take someone with some financial clout. Not some "all mouth, no trousers" bull$hit merchant like Lamb or Moore. If the RFL guidelines makes sure they have no involvement, they're doing at least one thing right.
I personally don't want either of those two anywhere near the club. Especially Mark Moore after his last "efforts" of getting people's hopes up, then dashing them all over again.'"
The question is why would anyone with financial clout take on the Bulls? If they invest in the team, restore the club to its former glories, they end up with a business that will be fortunate to break even or make a small profit. They're not going to recoup the losses they are bound to incur in the next few years. They might do that if they have a genuine love of the club or sport but those indinividuals seem to be in short supply.
It only makes sense to someone with financial clout if there is another angle, such as the ability to re-develop the stadium and surrounding area. If they take on the club and then find that there are too many obstacles to that plan they are likely to lose interest in the rugby club very quickly.

Yeah. Shame for Robinson though. IIRC he asked for us. That might be worth sticking a tenner in his pot.

Can you have a deadline for something that doesn't exist?
You can due diligence till the cows come home.

| Crystal Ball time - 12.01 Monday
No bids received from anybody under the RFL terms.
RFL decide to relegate New Co Bullocks to C1 under a new Company wholly owned by the RFL to play at Odsal under a peppercorn rent for 3 years.
Toronto & Bulls to swap fixtures and make a few adjustments to fit in with Cold Canada weather.
RFL - having managed the 3 year period correctly then open offers again.
Key points - RFL HAVE to have a club playing at Odsal to maintain Lease Regulations.
Stability for new Co for 3 years.
Special conditions for New Players to maintain a decent squad.
