By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Not at all. I think he was just (rightly) a bit piddled off with me (he would not be the first!) and was getting his own back.
All sorted out now and water under the bridge.

maybe so
but....
"Just desserts if you ask me, the arrogance of bulls fans through this whole debacle is shameful."
the above quote includes ALL Bulls fans, so my initial post is more than correct

OK, Flanker? Surely he is not insulting Inside Man that much that he is accusing him of being a Unionite? Harsh if so.

Personally I don't think there has been a lot of arrogance on show from Bradford fans in all fairness. Up here the Rangers fans showed what arrogance is in their similar situation but, I guess I could contradict myself by saying that that is maybe how people are viewing Bradford fans down there. Obviously, that I do not know. From afar though I reckon we have been very fair, accepting the situation we find ourselves in and showed a heck of a lot of gratitude to other clubs who have supported us financially and also Shuddersfield.
But, hey, it gets the debate going so I am all for it.

| From an outsider looking in it seems on the surface that a hell of a lot has been done by the rfl & sle to ensure the Bulls have a safe future, they had more assistance than other clubs going through the same situation, yet even after this you still have quite a few insisting that the rfl are trying to kill you off. If I was a bulls fan I would be feeling happy to have a club to watch at all. It's not the perfect fairy tale ending some would like but at least there will be a club for your kids to watch.

| The problem is the RFL appear to have no plan as to where we're going to play. Whichever division we are in we need time to put in place appropriate coaching, playing and support structures and the longer the silence emanating from Red Hall continues, the less time there is to organise that. How does the club arrange sponsors, sell season ticket, recruit players and coaches without being able to tell them which division they'll be competing.
There appears to be no valid reason the for RFL to not have a process to make that decision already. After the SLE clubs decided they wanted a 14 team league the RFL should have been determining how to make that decision even if no public announcement was made, That way as soon as the legal take over of the club was concluded the RFL could say 'here's the process we're going to follow'.
At present the closest we have to knowing what's going to happen is that there have been hints there might be a decision on how the decision will be made by the end of this week.
What we're asking for is clarity and the lack of that is leading to frustration and that's what is being voiced in those comments.
If the RFL announce a clear process then there isn't any room for those conspiracy comments.

As long as they're not dragging their feet, though. No evidence at all of that, eh?

Indeed if the RFL suspected that OK may not have the funds to get through 2 years in SL then this delay works to the advantage of OK Bulls in the championshup, but I guess you have already worked out why that is.

Do you consider 3 weeks between SLE deciding on a 14 team competition and no publicly announced decision how that 14th club will be decided to be a reasonable time scale?'"
Do not think it is unreasonable at all. There have been many 'shoddy' decisions made by the RFL throughout this episode. Letting a team into the 14 that could not get through 2013 and 2014 would be a further failing by the RFL so taking time to get this right seems sensible.
from the 23rd til, at least, Sept 7th and possibly the 10th, there was a hold up because some of OKs advisors were on holiday ( www.google.com/hostednews/ukpres ... 490574596A )
Indeed if the RFL suspected that OK may not have the funds to get through 2 years in SL then this delay works to the advantage of OK Bulls in the championshup, but I guess you have already worked out why that is.

I've said before that, much as deep down I don't want to drop from SL, there is an argument for relegating ourselves and withdrawing from SL.
If we follow plan RFL, not being able to recruit with all the current uncertainty, and then spend the next two years being deducted monies and making an impossible fight to be competitive before diminishing crowds and finances, then (most probably) being ditched at the next round of tendering as not being of the right quality for SL.
OR
Do we drop down now and build from whatever we're left with, hopefully have two successful seasons in the NL and then present a strong case, hopefully built on our still strong attendances and finances for the next licensing period?
