| There is and it's Rule 1 "The RFL can do what they want irrespective of the following suggestions of appropriate rules"

| Quote Highlander="Highlander"The only quibble I have with this is that when we started the season, the rules were very specific that a new club starts in League 1. '"
I think its very clear that Chalmers and Lowe bought the club on the stipulation that we would start in the Championship on -12 points. If they weren't willing to accept that proviso then they didn't have the buy the club (and, yes, that would probably have meant no club, but still....)

| Quote bullpower2014="bullpower2014" surely as a business that is better for the Bulls than going down? more fans, bigger revenue, hybrid squad - more time etc....
'"
Really?
More fans? So we'd get more fans watching us get steamrollered by Swinton or Batley than if we were having a successful season in League 1 challenging for promotion? I'm not so sure...
Bigger Revenue? Unless the RFL have a magic money tree somewhere then we're getting £75K central funding next season whichever league we are in - because keeping us in the Champ won't suddenly make more central funding appear (unless the other clubs are willing to accept less, and that ain't happening)
Hybrid Squad? Well, we are getting a hybrid squad next season whatever. And with there's no reason to think that anyone that we could attract on our extremely limited budget is going to be able to be choosy enough to turn down top end of League 1 in favour of bottom end of Championship.

| Quote bullpower2014="bullpower2014"I listened to Gledhill, did anyone catch the bit before kick off? They seemed to be talking about other champs club chairmen asking the RFL for the Bulls to stay up.... I only caught a little bit of what was said but it seemed current..... anyone hear the whole discussion? They kept mentioning Rimmer as if it was him vs the Champs club chairmen....
If anyone heard it, could you let me (us) know what was said properly, I only caught the last bit.....'"
Just reporting what the business fiscal study had found, so all relevant mate.

| Quote thepimp007="thepimp007"I listened to their commentary and to be fair it was Mick piling all the praise on Joe. John picked Caro as man of the match (apart from his try's Mick was saying he was always out of position on defence nothing new there) and gave high praise to Sironen. He rarely mentioned Joe which I think was fairly professional of him. Totally agree though if it would have been that way'"
That's correct "thepimp007" no bias and once again thanks for listening. It's the club's radio station and is there to provide a service. We had people listening in 33 different countries yesterday

Surely suffering would be being relegated and it would be lesser of a sufferance to be kept up - forget the morality side etc.... yes we should be/should have been relegated - what happens if we stay up? surely as a business that is better for the Bulls than going down? more fans, bigger revenue, hybrid squad - more time etc....
stuff the fax and Keefly fans (sorry nowt personnel) they can crow all they want, at the end of the day this decision will be made by the RFL and the club Chairmens not the Bulls nor the Bulls fans.
Anyone fancy a cheeky fiver on the Bulls being in the second tier next year?'"
The RFL told all 12 Championship clubs at the meeting in July that it would not be put to a vote and that they would make the decision.
Three weeks until the end of the season and we don't know what division we're going to be in or with which teams and under which fixture structure.
Frustrating.

We do know what division we're in. We've been relegated. We're in Championship 1. Stop giving fans false hope just to feed your own bloody craving for attention.

It's not Mick making this up. Yes as things stand right now the Bulls are down, but the RFL are coming under a bit of pressure from other championship clubs to keep them up. If nothing gets changed then yes the Bulls are down. As already been stated, does anybody believe the RFL are not capable of changing things within the next couple of month

Which is not surprising in the slightest given the level of away support that will possibly not come, with likes of Toronto, Tolouse, possibly Catalans, and If any of the cumbrian teams come up which is likely. As much as its pressure from other chairmen too we will still be seen as being helped by the RFL by other fans when its those running their clubs wanting it

| I struggle to see how the RFL would spin keeping us up. If they did a decision needs to be made asap because the longer they leave it the harder it is to recruit and we would go into next season ill equipped because we'd missed the recruitment boat. I'm not signing up for another season as cannon fodder so as to save the blushes of other clubs.

You really shouldn't reply to the troll Chris. What I said on the radio on Sunday was correct in that the Championship clubs are wanting to hand a reprieve to the Bradford Bulls.
Restructuring is definitely happening.

The RFL met with all the League One clubs yesterday.
