| One good thing, by the time the appeal gets heard, the 6 points we get back, with interest and inflation, should be up to 7 points.

| The more this goes on the more you wonder why exactly has gone on.
I wonder if the RFL started down the rocky road when they gave Bradford and Wakefield a licence tbh. I suspect neither had a strong enough bid and that no one in the championship had a strong enough bid either (highly unlikely as a remember a champ club whingeing at the time that they had a stronger bid than Wigan or some rubbish. Think they were from somewhere called Halifax or something but I've never heard of the place and not sure if they even play rugby league there.).
Being honest how could we get a B licence with what we now know about the state of the finances.
How far in are the RFL with both clubs? They've lent money to each we know that. They silence from Red Hall is deafening bearing in mind the gravity of some of the accusations of late.

Well yes, they did indeed deserve it. And well done to them.
Not entirely sure how it fits into this discussion though?

We're relying on you to explain how the Scottish mind works Eddie.

Those accusations appear to be coming from a) those whose default position is that the RFL is to blame for everything, or b) those who were responsible for the mess they created when involved at clubs.
Were it not for the RFL Bradford Bulls would most likely not exist as a club.
In regard to the appeal hearing, as reported, and as I correctly stated, it was due in the lead up to the Wakefield game, but will not be heard midweek after it.
Let's hope the fans of both clubs turn out in big numbers next Sunday. It's a pivotal game in the season.

It might well be, but, just out of interest, how exactly do you attract more people through the gates for this game? It is all well and good wanting a big crowd to get behind the side but when the product being served up is as bad as it is at the moment, it is hard to see why anyone would want to part with their hard-earned 20 sheets of green to watch it?
There seems to be no interest ON the pitch so, by definition, this will follow OFF the pitch too.
The marketing team at the Stuart Duffy Stadium have a VERY hard week trying to get people through the gates to attend a match that really should sell itself.
That said, I reckon a higher than usual number will be making the trip on horseback up the road from Wakefield. They will be feeling very confident indeed.

| With the Wakefield match up being so pivotal, it should be a TV match with a video referee, and a strong match official in the middle; by that I mean not James Child or one of the newbie jubies.

Well as the two other TV games are Hudda/Wigan and Leeds/Warrington, I can't see Bradford/Wakey being a better TV game. Both sides are playing some awful rugby at the moment. It really will be a case of who plays less worse on Sunday.
Although I don't rate Childs, he has improved. I expect Silverwood and Thaler to get the TV games and us a pick from the rest. Probably Bentham or Childs.

| The sad fact is that the players have taken their collective bat home. We will still finish in the bottom two even if a miracle happened and the good lord gives us all 6 points back. As it is, with nobody having given even a hint of any point that might be remotely productive to take on appeal, it seems improbable that we will get anything back; but the way we are playing I reckon we would need about 12 or 13 extra points from the Panel.

| To be honest, what we needed wasn't the six points but the lost revenue - and we really needed it before the season started. With the original team, as a settled unit, we were way more than six points better than Wakefield.

"To be honest, what we needed was more revenue to pay for the team we had, and we really needed it before the season started. With the original team, coupled to our insufficient revenue streams, we were well on our way to bankruptcy."
If only there was some way of knowing what you were earning, so that you could spend accordingly...if only...

And the reason you are in the is that it was a team you shouldn't have had in the first place.
