What has happened is not the fault of the RFL.
Its not the fault of the Bradford players or fans either.
It is the fault of pretty much everyone who has been involved in the management and ownership of the Bulls for most of the last decade.
However surely the big question is not what has gone wrong but what can be done to put it right?
The 2012 sympathy for the plight of the Bulls from other clubs and their fans is clearly not there now. You've had financial help from the RFL too in the purchase of Odsal.
At one point wasn't it proposed that Super League would buy and operate the Bulls? That appears to be a non-starter now.
The only hope appears to be a new buyer who either has or can raise some cash and has a sustainable business plan. If such a person comes forward he then needs the fans to get down to Odsal and get some money flowing through the turnstiles.
A way needs to be found to fulfil the fixtures and get to the end of the season. If relegation happens (and I'm not sure it will because I think you're still better than London and Wakey even with the points deduction) then so be it as I'm sure it would only be temporary. Surely its got to be better than going out of business altogether?'"
How would that work in a P and R situation?

Generally the the team or teams (in this case two) that finish at the foot of the table are relegated.

For whose benefit? The bulls? Or for the RFL to avoid much embarrassment?
If it's the later, then shut the doors now for me. Let them reap what they have sown. (Sewn? )

I meant the RFL running a club (self interest) in a completion where p and r are in operation, but I think you knew that and were being?...naughty?

I think the latter is going to take one stupendous act of bull, that the world has yet seen the like.

That, along with the bingo thread, has really brightened my afternoon.

Never.
Incidentally I once got sat next to Nigel Wood on the night bus and showed him my giro. He asked if I was interested in buying Halifax.

| I wonder why the Administrator transferred the assets to BB 2014 the same day (or was it the day after) OK Bulls went into Administration - if BB 2014 hadn't paid him?
Surely it wasn't simply to avoid being stuck with the players' contracts as would have been the case after the statutory 14 days?
Maybe he was paid? In which case the Club belongs to BB2014. The Bulls 3 are I guess still the directors (even though it's said they've walked away). Can't see that they've formally resigned though.
If they did pay the Administrator for the Bulls, they are responsible for meeting the costs of players' pay.
If they didn't, the Club is back with OKB & the Administrator and he will have to pay the players.
So, guessing the Administrator will be looking to sell to Mr Lamb pretty sharpish for whatever he can get.

Lets get him playing at prop, he'd do a job seen as he's the size of a house.
