Scadge when Hull swallowed up Gateshead Thunder, I would guess at that time the future was looking bleak for your team,would you of been happy for the RFL to take away half your Sky money and divide it between all the other clubs

Scadge please just give me a yes or no answer,not trying to get into an arguement

Bieng selfish; If it meant my team staying in existence i would have to take whatever way out was possible.

Everyone's overjoyed to have a club but we're living on the edge as proved by the wages debacle last week. Surely it's counter productive and unfair on the club employees and players to have to go through this uncertainty after last year? If we'd been given the fair share of money I suspect we'd not be in this position.

When was the decision made that we'd be on half sky money next year?

It can't have been when Omar took over because they only decided we were in next year half way through this season.

The next club that goes belly up I hope they get this same treatment because we weren't the first and we won't be the last club to get in trouble.

OK signed up for this for 2 years. The sharing of our money amongst the other clubs was the thing decided later IIRC.

OK has said himself that he's learnt from this episode to look after No1 if it happens to another club.

Oh aye, I mean where did I put that list of bankers that went to jail for recklessly doing in quadrillions, causing the entire world economy to collapse and ruining the life of millions? Oh yes, here it is:






End.

I agree wholeheartedly with the article in League Express and it proves that we do have support out there in the RL family. Unfortunately we also have some selfish and shortsighted clubs out there that we ought to be putting under pressure to reconsider their original decision.

It seems that Omar accepted the withholding of Sky money because without it I expect the majority of SL clubs would have gladly seen us booted out the competition. But he agreed to this penalty under the belief that we were in a licensing period. The goalposts have now been moved since the original decision so it should at the very least be reviewed.

All clubs should start on a level playing field in terms of central funding otherwise it is grossly unfair on the Bulls IMO. The decision to share out our pot of money between themselves was nothing short of immoral.

If it happens again next year then I will think seriously about boycotting away games in 2014. It's not something I'd like to do but I think it's about time the fans of this great club stood up and be counted on this important issue.

I've been thinking I wonder who in the first place thought up this ludicrous idea to share the Bulls Sky money out between all the other clubs. I'm probably same as every one else about this,it really gets me mad everytime I think about it. lets be honest we have never heard of anything like this ever before

We know the RFL are a pathetic organisation with no leadership,no backbone and simply no idea,was it them or a greedy club chairman

I think it's got to be another club,anyone know anything on this

Didn't they have a meeting and the vote was 8-5 in favour of sharing the sky money we forfeited, as opposed to putting it into grassroots???

Yes the vote was something like that but wonder who's idea it was in the first place

Mine

The idea came from a few miles down the road team plays at a former Labour leaders stadium.

Former Labour leaders stadium???

Neil Kinnock,Jim Callaghan,Michael Foot

Red I thought it might of been them as well,maybe they voted for our share of the Sky money so they could afford to pay us the money they will owe us for Kopout

Not only that 3 letters from Supporters were printed basically stating what ordinary fans feel about the appalling situation the Bulls find themselves in at the moment, one supporter mentioning the other item that is causing us and other clubs financial problems: ie the ludicrous fixture list that has seen just 3 home games in 14 weeks( from May 3rd to the game on the 10th August).
Yet the open letter from Graham Barwick inferred everyone at the RFL were right but the rest of us were wrong?

No matter what anyone says this situation is the most appalling travesty I have ever seen in professional sport!

And now on Super League Backchat saying what a disgrace

Think the only disgrace is the RFL(or SLE, its the same thing)as usual
