| Quote hindle xiii="hindle xiii"To be honest I'm a little surprised at something.
I found this article from July 2012 which mentions the wage bill to be around £200,000 per month...

... and then the article from Wednesday mentions the wage bill this time around to be £200,000...
[urlhttp://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/10581170.RFL_join_Khan_in_insisting_Bradford_Bulls_are_not_back_on_the_brink/[/url
I would've hoped with all the upheaval, changes and new approach that the wage bill would have been reduced.
Anyway, I was just surprised to read that and hopefully it isn't actually a problem.
(Of course this number could lie completely at the door of the T&A.)'"
July last year would have been just after everybodies favourite administrator had come in and sacked the back office and coaching staff - so the £200k a month quoted for wages could have been just the squad, whereas the current figure would be the playing squad and the coaching staff and back office. Would guess if you add in rents, marketing and all the other costs it must take at least £300k or more a month to keep the show on the road so you can see what a handicap the cut in the Sky money is.

| I'd take any figure quoted with a pinch of salt.

| Perhaps we should remember that we didn't have a home match for 7 weeks. The matches we had were at the beginning of the season - poor weather - poor crowds, and in the holiday period when people are away. During this time the Staff, Players, Backroom Staff & Stadium work still has to be paid for. THE FIXTURE LIST NEEDS SORTING OUT FOR NEXT SEASON - WE NEED HOME & AWAY MATCHES TO KEEP FANS INVOLVED AND FUNDS COMING INTO THE CLUB. If this is not sorted, we will find other Clubs having difficulty in surviving. On a lighter note lets get behind our Team and build our support base. It's been done before - we can do it. COYB

| Regarding the fixture list, these are given the clubs in November and they have the right to go to the RFL and ask it to be changed.
We asked this to Steve Gill Cas CEO after having London, Catalan, Magic Weekend and Leeds all away back to back. He said that it was the club's fault and they could have gone and asked the RFL to change it.
So I'd be asking the club, not looking at the RFL in respect of that.

| But only if the opposition team agrees to the change isnt it, if not then back to square one.
Whereas if the RFL put consideration to the fixtures before they release them to the teams, we wouldn't have to deal with not having a home game for several weeks.
They work round wigan when the pitch is being replaced at the end of the football season and allow them to play several weeks on the road at their request then they now have several home game running up to the end of season maybe giving them momentum.

| How hard can it be to work out one home and one away? It's obviously beyond the capabilities of the RFl.

| Quote roofaldo2="roofaldo2"I think the trouble was that certain players ran straight off to social media and starting moaning about the situation. Think the club needs to, not so much gag it's players, but request that internal club affairs are not discussed in such forums. You know, like EVERY OTHER COMPANY DOES.'"
I expect that if Tesco's staff were paid late it would be reported in the media, social or otherwise.

It might get out into the media, but Tesco, like pretty much every large company, has rules about staff conduct on social media.

| I have read elsewhere that there are plans to create extra revenue by bringing speedway back to Odsal next year.Also there is a possibility of stock car racing returning in 2015.Both of these sports used to be very popular in Bradford ,it would make sense not to rely purely on Rugby to finance Odsal.

| Speedway and stock car racing would be very entertaining, especially with the Coral stand in the middle of the track.

| Thought that idea had been put to bed as it would cost loads to sort adequate drainage
