I don't have a problem with having a club in CC1, but why can't the RFL come clean about where we will be rather than stringing us along and saying we can't guarantee this, that or the other. If it's to be no SL then i would rather see us fold now and start a new club in CC1.
How can you expect some one to cough up big bucks for the club only to find it starts next season in CC1, when you could form a new club for a fraction of the price. Three years ago Doncaster went into admin and were relegated to CC1. They reformed the club with very little money and a support base of around 250! Last week they achieved promotion, have trebled their crowds and are operating at a small profit.
It can be done and i'm sure Bradford would steam through the division much easier than the likes of Donny. Just a little honesty from the RFL as to where the club will find itself is all i ask.

I'm not saying it is the end of the world. I'm just saying that if that's where the bulls are playing I probably won't bother watching Super league.

Much the same way that I don't really bother with Premier league football because I don't support a team in it.

I Must admit the RFL need to get this sorted ASAP just so that you can move on ......... if you love your Rugby and i'm sure you all do then may it be Championship 1 or Super Duper League you need to know NOW !

id like to say that if they intend us to drop it would help both us and the replacement side to have some notice and planning.

Precisely! Remember when huddersfield were thrown in at short notice because Paris St Germain had fallen by the wayside?

I'm with you.

To be honest, I'm quite warming up to the idea of rolling up my sleeves and getting involved with a Championship I club operated as some model of 'supporter led'.

Basically, I'm just sick of it dragging on and on and on with no clear signs of resolution

Have to agree. Sick of it now after all these weeks and months. I have supported Northern/Bulls since I was 8 and I am now 63. Was at the last home match before they folded in 1963. If we are in the Championship well so be it, we will still be there. Sod em all I say!

Sunday could be a fairly downbeat occasion.

Brendan - over to you - tell the RFL they have NO chance of an uncoditional bid and do what you have to but put us out of our misery now!! 1967 was my 1st game, can only have missed 3 or 4 games a season since and I'm just p****d off with the whole situation

Beechwood -- I was at the same game and have always regretted not buying a programme.
Cibaman-- perhaps not downbeat but almost certainly emotional. Let's show the Superleague what they will be missing.
Just a thought-- there should be a public invitation to Mr Wood or Mr Solly to address the FANS at half time. You could even extend that invite to either of the bidders.

Drove home for an hour thinking about this again - the players and coaches deserve the chance to compete until the end of the year and reach the play offs -go out on a high - hope someone can find a way to make it happen, especially paying the coaches, and have a big party at Headingley when we beat the old enemy!

Or how about storm the playoffs, win grand final and get booted out. Championship 1 Bradford Phoenix versus Melbourne Storm in world club challenge at Horsfall Stadium.

Nice thought but unlikely
The Storm won't win the NRL

Who was the last club to fail to complete a season in the top tier of a full time national proffessional sport ?
