| Bradford have proved they are a big club and Im sure they will be back even stronger in the future. I feel sorry for you because you are on the receiving end of the farce which is the new structure. I will be there with my lads so show our support next week - a wiganer

I'm sure Bradford will perform well next season, but I think it's pretty disingenuous of you to belittle widnes' recent achievements. Remember Widnes have achieved more than Bradford in their history. Have been a more massive club than Bradford HAVE been.
Bradford if they do come back up will have to work their way up as widnes have.'"
well done in avoiding in answering my post. Bradford will be back, and unlike your team, my team, and Widnes, have had home crowds over 10K. Huddersfield Giants....ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!

i thought it was financial mismanagement that had cost them not the restructuring?

They would still be in the elite comp if it wasn't for the new structure dimwit irrespective of their financial status. ![CRAZY d040.gif](images/smilies//d040.gif)

| Seen my team relegated 3 times and royally bummed once, I understand the pain you'll be going through tonight.
You will bounce back. Bradford are a massive club and you will rebuild and prosper in time.
Hope you enjoy visiting some places you won't have been to in a while, including our humble abode. And I really hope you stuff the Dingles at 'fax and Keighley.
Be prepared to be bantered to within an inch of your lives though ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| Well I'm absolutely gutted about relagation but it is a knock on affect from Caisley's mismanagement, the Harris case plus Hood and Khan's total incompetence and lie's.
Not to sound negative but I don't see how relagation is going to benefit us at all, attendences will go down due to the Bulls not been SL plus the teams we will play won't have a big enough fan base, not has much tv money unlike SL , Odsal is a drain and the way the format is set up for promotion and relagation, the bottom four SL clubs will always have the advantage over the top four championship clubs, I hope I'm wrong, COYB !!!

| Relegation used to be the norm didn't it...remember 4 up, 4 down ?
But because it has not happened in 10 years (relegation) it's a big SHOCK.
Welcome to the real world....
Did Super League clubs/fans feel sorry for the likes of Featherstone, Halifax, Oldham, Leigh, Sheffield & York etc where promotion was NOT an option, NO !!!!!!!!
At least Bradford can gain promotion, and I'm sure they will, sooner than later.

Do you mean the post that just said "whatever luv xx" which you edited to add to after i'd answered - or the one that was belittling towards another founding RL club?

| I was doubtful about Lowes getting the job but I have now come round to the idea and am pleased he is there.
I expect Jimmy will have explained very clearly to Ferres and Green what type of players he needs for next year - and beyond. I now expect him to get them. Looking back, I suspect Green and Ferres realised when they took over that it was too late to save us and have been holding back till it was as good as confirmed. On the face of it they haven't signed many but I now fully expect to see them building a team to get us back up.
I am now confident the club is in "safer" hands than it has been over the years. We still have a club thankfully. When the shock of relegation fades we will all start to look forward to visiting different grounds and being involved in a very good league. There are going to be some exciting games next season and the play-off's will hopefully be great to watch if we have a team that can beat the likes of Wakey, Widnes and KR. They will be beatable!

Totally unreasonable to put Khan in with those other two.

| As a Saints fan i'm hoping you return ASAP, as superleague needs a strong Bradford side in the compertition.
I'd be gutted if it was my team, just hope your new owners can get you straight back up?

| As a Salford fan I've been well used to seeing my side yo-yo over the decades. The heartbreak and demoralization of relegation. The highs of promotion. Some of my best memories are from the Championship and the streamlining that relegation demands means that a fresh and viable start can gain momentum. Something that Bradford should be able to do on and off the pitch. I think it's going to be tough to gain promotion next season as I think that the new system dangles the carrot but makes it very tough for Championship sides to compete even with the lower end of the SL. Especially when it comes to what is available to spend.
Competition for promotion will be pretty strong too though, and you should expect quality RL against all opposition. They'll see London and Bradford as someone they want to raise their game for. Off the pitch will be more important than on it and getting those lapsed fans in should be priority.
I feel for the fans of the Bulls who have deserved better from their Club over the last few seasons. Hopefully that side of things will be sorted and rebuilding can start.

| Oooft - I never thought I'd see the day when this happened.
Looking forward to playing against you again and welcome to the Championship. At least with the revised structure you/we have some hope of gaining promotion.
For the fans who have stuck with you through thick and thin I'm sorry it's come to this but I hope you can use this opportunity to rebuild.

| I just feel a sence of relief this morning tbf - feels like a pressure has been lifted. Yes Im sad we've gone down, but from where we found ourselves this year it was inevitable and will hopefully be beneficial in the long run if we can compete to get back up. So the plan is;
Stay full time.
Build a competetive squad.
Get in the top 4 next year.
be in the top 5 of the 8 team playoff to be at worst an 80 min final from SL.
Simple ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
