Yes I agree with you. Maybe we should merge with another club then them off

What is increasingly worrying now is the threadbare nature of the squad. How can any new owners like Lamb or Chalmers make this side competitive with minus 12 and fighting for survival. Someone put us in League One and whats left of the U19s should be able to step up but not the Championship.

Surely the first step is actually a backer! Your comments are immaterial until that is in place.

Yep. That would be a start. And getting Rohan signed up first would be a good move.

The thought of all our players playing for other clubs next year is sickening. While we are going to scrat about lucky to scrape a win with whoever we can manage to sign in a week.

For what its worth I think the RFL are not doing Bradford any favours if a new club is formed with the players that have already left and those that will it will be a struggle to get a competitive team out in the Championship. Minus 12 points and the likes of HKR,Broncos,Fev,Fax,Batley,Toulouse its a massive hill to climb and with reduced money from the Championship pot. If the club take some Hammerings some more fans will become sick to the back teeth and not go so more lost income. Why not start a new in Championship 1 and build steady my thoughts are if they start in Championship then the risk of going belly up again is not far away and no one wants any club to go completely from the game.

I agree and I've said it on anothe thread it just feels like RFL panicking because summer bash will be a disaster without a game for Hull KR and they won't have a tenant for Odsal.

It's doomed to failure from the start.

Quite simply with the time available the choice is put Bradford in a poor situation or disrupt 2 whol leagues

On reflection this is for the better,
With a clean slate we are £2m (reportedly) better off, can streamline staff wise.
And have only lost 6 competition points.
If we are bought by the right person next year maybe a bit tricky but to build we will be OK.

If Lamb and irvine get it they will honour season tickets too...

It's going be hard to build from nothing to a competitive side in a month. Some might say impossible.

Just woken up this morning and what a dream I had last night.
I dreamt that we were no longer world champions and we have gone out of business.
It must have been that cheese I had at supper.
I am glad that dream is over.

Er...... what are all of these posts about................
