WOW bitter about Davy paying for a squad and not being viable to stand on there commercial activities. Good luck today Bulls, i hope you don't find yourselves in this situation again, or god forbid with someone willing to bankroll you.

Not bitter at all. Hudds good fortune they have a Davy.
But disgusted with infantile fans who gloat at our misfortune without recognising that, as Mr McManus so well observed, there but for the grace of God go they.

Or the business plan was sound at the time and was then undermined by circumstances later.
One thing in one of Taskers T&A statements the other week hasn't got a mention. He said discussion on the deal with RFL for lease had started earlier in 2011 (think he said May). I thought that was interesting and whether it suggests the £700K loan was a down payment.

| If by some miracle the Bulls went all the way and won the GF, it would certainly add interest to the RFL's decision.

But this is what happens when you operate differently to other mainstream sports , anomolies like this can happen , in Championship 1 a club could win the GF , but not be promoted , but only this year

Where the fekk would your club be if you were not being bankrolled by Davy? Down the bloody toilet, that's where.
And please explain to us just how, precisely, you are qualified to make such a dumbass statement?
Super statement carping about Giants having a backer whilst busy looking for one for themselves kettle and pot I think or is it just plain jealousy ? Also why does every discussion involving Giants always come down to we get more fans through the gates than you do? Be thankful Davy gave you the money and the players gave you the points you ungrateful wassock.

What part of this, from just above, are you unable to understand?

But, and here we come to serious matters, how sure are you that your players threw the match deliberately? That WAS what you were implying, wasn't it, when you said they "gave us the points" and for which we should be "grateful"? Sounds a bit libelous to me, but I'm sure you know what you are doing, and can give Site Admin suitable assurances as to the veracity of your information.

For very many years you got crowds that barely scraped 3,000.
You still exist.
QED.

Because a key element in the decision making process is that 'we get more fans than you'. In terms of history, support, profile and contribution to the comp we're more important than you. This isn't me saying this - it's Eamon McManus and all those Giants fans that didn't buy a ticket to the semi-final of the CC.

| No Adeybull that was not what I was implying at all. I would never accuse any professional sports players of deliberatley throwing a game. What I was implying was that the Giants played so badley that they gave the Bulls the points. Does that clear it up for you? Which still leaves the question as to why you think Ken Davy backing the Giants is any different to what you want someone to do for you. I would like to think that if Ken Davy did pull the plug on Giants he wouldn't dump them with 1.5 mill debt unpaid players and unpaid tax.

I'm sure "Sir Ken" wouldn't do that, he seems like a nice chap. But if he did pull out, a couple of years after he had gone, based on the crowds you pull, minus the wages and other overheads you would be up to your neck in the brown stuff in a very similar situation to us.

Would the RFL pay the players' bonuses?
