| You have PI passed but have you actually laid a brick yet and sold off Belle Vue? No. If your ground gets delayed then you could face a license review as I believe you promised it to be done in time for 2014. Granted I think your further on than Cas but correct me if im wrong. Cas are worse off because of their financial position.
And also to Early Bath, I believe I am because without the Bulls then they get more money which may secure them financially so they may not have to face the same situation and if they vote the Bulls out then find themselves in that position later in the line then there are no Bulls to vote against them so they wouldn't really have nothing to fear.
Fax won't come up, they have just announced a £20,000 profit at Championship which is excellent so they won't ruin that by coming up to Super League and having to pay Super League costs, upping season tickets and losing fans because they will be beaten every week. What's best for Fax is to stay down and keep making profit and playing good rugby and competing for trophies, they don't deserve to be a 3rd rate Super League team being beat week in week out.
And yes Annakin it might but our stadium is a Grade B whereas Wakey's is Grade C.

| If Bradford get voted out it's entirely down to the previous regime's management. Although, it would be silly if your a club struggling financially to vote Bradford out as that would set a presidence.

| Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Well Wigan and Warrington chairmen have already said they will vote to keep us in. I bet my left ballsack that Salford, Castleford, London, Wakefield and Hull KR are the 5.
Castleford and Salford have financial problems.
Wakey are taking the p*ss with their stadium.
Hull KR are financially not in the best of places.
We voted London out ages ago (they have gone down bad since then too).
If we go out all them 5 teams will be more secure, they will be thinking about themselves rather than what we could potentially do. If the Bulls become a strong force again we would take 2,000-2,500 to there grounds, basically giving them money.'"
Wheres your evidence then?
Would you elaborate on Wakefield and the stadium please and quantify how Wakefield are taking the p*ss as you put it.
FWIW having gone through this last year and staying in SL I would thnk Mr Glover would be one person who has a great deal of sympathy with your current plight.
Now talking of taking the p*ss have you paid players and had mages up to the cap for several years without having the income to cover it? The support from the RFL has been phemomenol for you your lease has been bought out (why) but you have tax liabilities in the main if what has been reported is fact (image rights is it and VAT etc). The support you have had hardly lloks like the RFL will cast you out regardless of what the clubs think.
If I were you I would wind your neck in about this and concentrate on getting out of admin and avoiding liquidation. 12 months ago after admin Wakey were destinbed for Champoinship rugby with less that 1% of teh support you have had from the RFL. Think yourself lucky and fight your cause and dont criticise other clubs.

Correct, it's owned by the RFL therefore it's in their best interest to keep us in SL.

Bradford stadium is no better than Belle Vue. We now have new stands. Away fans don't have to get wet as they do stood at Odsal. The ground isnt ours, its owned by the Bank of Ireland and yours is owned by the RFL!

Didn't Mr Glover at Wakefield? Didn't London after they went bust? Some people made bad decisions for a while at Bradford. On all other counts, they are a top flight club.

Strict new rules they are discussing whether to implement or not. Don't sound that strict to me. Or maybe it depends on the club being considered.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| Given all the talk this year from chairmen about wanting a change in the league and a reduction of teams. Then this development would provide those chairmen with the vehicle to have the league they want.
It would also allow some teams to sure themselves up financially.
Whilst Bradford adds to the league in overall numbers of fans. The impact that has on other clubs other than Bradford is variable.
Does extra sky money out weigh the extra attendances that Bradford may bring to local teams?
For a team like my own Saints. Bradford's away fans may impact with smaller local clubs, but carry little impact on the Saints home crowds, so it would not be a major incentive for MacManus when considering which way to vote. He too has expressed (before the bradford collapse) that a smaller league would be desirable.
Leeds well who knows which way they would go, you would assume that being local rivals they would want the sellout derby, however they have very big crowds with or without Bradford so it may be more of an issue as to what Hetherington thinks of the new owners.
In the end though whether Bradford are kept in or ejected. It maybe more short term than anything else. Lets say Bradford are voted out. If the Bradford fans keep the faith and turn up in numbers in the lower divisions, they will dominate and start to pull in big profits with the cap on player wages verses the income through the gate.
Then come the next round of licences, the SL will have a reduced number of teams that some have expressed a desire for. But Bradford could well be in a position to replace one of those who voted to eject it.
I'm not a fan of reduced numbers in SL, but I can see those who favour it taking this as an oppertunity.
