That all sounds positive, just have to wait and see....the waiting and sense of helplessness is a pain. Fingers crossed.

Thats my thinking too.. For me - it's Rohan and the team I'll be supporting and buying my season ticket once we have an owner.

I maintain we are on the brink of getting somewhere under his stewardship and the youth setup we have and I'm not prepared to walk away from that

I don't think our troubles for next season will come due to the ownership, the most damage to our future will come from the RFL, judge jury and hangman without governance.

Sometimes I wish I didn't care, but I do

My thoughts too Errol.

I expect us to get a new owner soon. I personally hope it is Lawn.
The main danger after securing a new owner is losing half a dozen players that currently give us a chance next season. If we get away with 6 points and keep our key players we can still finish top 4. The squad we have now would definitely have finished in the top 3 this season - so why not next year as long as we are financially sound and only 6 points behind. 12 would be very difficult for top 4 but I still wouldn't expect us to go down as this squad should be able to beat most teams except the top couple.

That is my optimistic view and I am sticking with it till I am persuaded otherwise.

I'm sure we can rely on those clever bods at the RFL to let the most suitable bidder who passes all their thorough tests to be allowed to take over the Bulls.

I mean, thats worked well over the past few years hasn't it?

and mine well

Never be confident when there are no plans to build and the only engine started is on a bulldozer.

Anyway, back to you guys ........

I'm presuming that you've just got to take a long-term view. Where will you be in ten years time? No reason why you can't be where you once were. You've just got a tricky two or three years ahead. Your main problem is perhaps Leigh, whose distorted success has probably convinced the RFL that it's a great system. Once there have been a few years of no one getting a sniff of the top flight, there may be a reversion to one-up, one-down. That is the only way to get promoted without someone shoving a heap of money in on a gamble.

Errol - we have both been going too long not to care. I will still be there no matter which league we are in. Just give me a team to support is my only wish.

The problem isn't Leigh [iper se[/i - investment in the game can only be a good thing, the problem for Bradford, and all clubs, is the RFL and their running (or ruining?) of the game.

This episode, with hopefully a club still standing once resolved, has convinced me to join Bullbuilder.

Size of the debt is irrelevant, it won't be repaid, not by anyone.

We have already lost Championship status.

Bradford bulls Norther Ltd is in administration and is no longer a member of the RFL or the Championship.

Sure, someone "might" come in, pay everything off, buy BBNL off the administrator and we all crack on. In other news, flocks of flying pigs are circling Odsal. In reality, someone will acquire the business of BBNL from the administrator for a song, and in the form of a new holding company. They will do so only if and when the person or persons controlling the new company pass the fit & proper test and the RFL agrees to admit the NEW CLUB to membership.

There is indeed a continuing entity, only a virtual one, but the one that is real to us fans, "the Bulls". Ironically it is much more real to us than the company shenanigans, but it would best be described as the "soul" of the operation, and sort of lives on floating over and above all the shoite, in a virtual bubble. If someone has the money to commence Bulls Mk. VI (or whatever it is now) then they get to look after the bubble. If not - it bursts.
