If that was to happen any chance of Bradford ever having a top flight club again would be dead for ever. The new entity would be stuck in an existence like Park Avenue going no where fast.

| If this really is the end game for the Bulls/northern I really feel for you the fans. In my opinion the RFL hold the most blame and they must realise that the death of your club will/could eventually mean the end of all rugby league in Bradford. Is this a price worth paying? They need two get their house in order Asap or the current malaise in our game could become endemic and see sky pull the plug for good then all of us will be joining you in finding something else to do,their incompetence is breathtaking at times they must be pro sports worst governing body.once again if it is the end I really feel for all you Bradford fans.

That's a pretty good shout, sir. If it's the last time I wear it it's a way to bow out.

You are right of course but I feel the governing body hold most blame for current state of the game,at the end of the day sky notwithstanding the buck stops with them

I missed the relegation party at London in 2014. Something that needs recreating!

| Really feel for you lads - its like Man U after Munich in a way - completely different team but the same club.
Hope the RFL are true to their word and a new club is born on Friday - to play at Odsal - peppercorn rent - and in my view in C1 without penalty under Rohan.
IF the RFL fail to produce then heads MUST roll at Red Hall.

But what would the insurance have covered. The players do not have contracts at the moment and any injuries could have meant they would not have the chance of signing any.

It was the same insurance when they was a Bulls club. I don't no what was covered.

| Aaaaaaarggghhhhhhhh! I just want to close the book and be done but I know I'll be turning up to watch Bradford play in front of 200 people in a grim, windswept odsal. If it comes to pass. But will it? Argh!

| Even if they were insured, why risk an injury that would scupper your chances of continued employment as a professional sportsman? Frankly, many of the remaining unsigned ex Bulls are almost certainly in talks with one club or another and will be weighing up their options. Quite rightly they need to make sure they are uninjured when/if they decide their best move is to join a new team. And who would really begrudge them that given what they've been through?
I'd have loved to get to Batley and show solidarity, but when I take my Bradford RL tinted glasses off, this makes total sense for the lads.
