Well, their own city has shown it doesn't really want them. They knocked the ground down for starters !

They seem a decent set of players and are strongly led by Mark Aston. They would surely do better becoming bradford than by playing as sheffield but at wakey.

What future do they really have ? Moving to Bradford could be a lifesaver and as I said, they ain't too shabby a side.

Not a thinly-disguised "merger" though - they would quite rightly be Bradford

I thought that the availability for purchase of Odsal was a pretty much universal condition demanded by the main interested people, and before them, even Green, when he was pretending he had the cash and the ability to run a whelk stall. Odsal seemed to be the thing that made it work. The RFL must have in principle already agreed to whatever plans these people had for the place and the team?

I'm not sure how this RFL solution is showing us favouritism! No club, no players, no coach, no ground, no kit no pot to pi55 in. And probably two weeks to scamble something together that will most likely get stuffed every week before being relegated, if we're lucky.

Some favouritism.

So go and gripe at the RFL. I'm sure there's an email address on their website. Tell them what a set of bent wazzocks they are. We've heard it til we're blue in the teeth.

Well I guess we might soon find out.

I don't know why everyone is confident about our new owner being Plan B. As far as I know he has no interest in RL (although I realise it didn't stop MG)

If you want drivel, you're the guy madly writing about "showing favouritism" on the board of fans who as of lunchtime today have nothing, no club, no players, no coach, nothing, zero, zilch. You appear to be a specialist in drivel.

and if you have what a joke your club has been asking all the players to take wage cuts!!! how will they feel, need to cut your own cloth accordingley

The RFL are doing their best to protect their interest, simple as!

As a sports facility, even when the Bulls were at their height, the land must have been pretty worthless. It was only the heritage that kept it going. Surely this is the opportunity for the Council & RFL to get rid of the lease & use it for more profitable purposes. I know it is a former tip, that is not necessarily beyond resolving. The Bulls Phoenix playing at a shared stadium. I would miss Odsal but would rather watch professional RL somewhere in Bradford than none at all.

I'm not in the know but i'd say that Irvine and Lamb are waiting in the background, as well as others?
how well financed and well organised they are is to be proved.

We could have done without a 12 point deduction, but are yet to find out what money we have and who's staying and who's going yet.
If the new owner has a bit of cash you never know we could maybe replace some of those on the way out.

Other clubs would be wise to remember that if the RFL lose their financial interest in Odsal they can kiss goodbye to fireworks after the Grand Final. And no pre-match Craig Charles either. Careful what you wish for.

no I'll leave that to you pal, lets see how long it is before it all hunky dory again

Yes we really are th RFLs darlings. Lucky us.

What does that even mean?

Have to say, a -12 pt start and having to play HKR three times, is a recipe for relegation. Particularly as we now don't even have a team.

Not sure I'm up for a season of watching this kind of slow death, tbh. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not, so the RFL had better re-think on this.

If we're going to end up in champ 1, then best it happened this time round, assuming there will be a 'this time'. Though this simply can't happen at Odsal, imo - there is no chance whatever that a [presumably part-time, third tier club could ever pay the rent paid by the old club.

Halifax?

If that's intentionally ironic with a post referencing drivel, then it's genius. But I suspect not.

Think we'll be waiting a while to be fair. Please do hold your breath.

That the RFL advised his club to go into administration and start again in the same league with a clean slate.

And that we're the RFL's favourites.

Just heard interview on the radio with Andrew Chalmers who has said he's still keen in owning the Bradford Bulls. So no lack of interest.
