To be fair, I think j.c. is (for the right reasons) suggesting an alternative light at the end of the tunnel. Albeit feasible/not.

At the moment there are a dwindling number of tunnel options available to us; the light is barely visible in any of them; and at the moment we (as fans) do not have a say on the current tunnel Mr Reet-Petit is going to take us down.

I think Bulliac's comments on the difference in expectation between Park Avenue and Bulls fans is understandable and fair; we have been at the top, so our expectations will be that level for some time.

But I'm happy to keep the "fan-run team" in the back-pocket and revisit it after the vultures have finished picking the Bulls carcass clean.
I am by no means wealthy, but I'm happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with other passionate fans and put my money where my heart is.
We did it before; and we got our fingers burnt; but we'll learn from that; and not have some greedy egotistical business man steal our hard earned cash again.

The RFL have made a very clear statement that they want to keep a RL club in Bradford.

Lets face it - we may not think it will work - but in the next few weeks it may be the only option left if we want to support a Bradford based RL team

The catalogue of catastrophe that's been allowed to continue time over time is absolutely unbelievable and here we are at D Day.

Two bidders remaining which quite frankly have submitted bids bordering on the unacceptable.

Isn't this where the RFL come in with negotiations over the lease? They are working a solution to ensure anyone buying the lease can only use site for rugby aren't they?

These are not involved.

Do you mean the Leo Group aren't involved?

Wrong.

Where are the fans willing to give up time and money who have the expertise to run a club?

Anyone with that sort of resume has long since got disillusioned. The catalogue of misery has gone in too long.

I speak from experience as someone who chaired both BullBuilder and BISA. The people willing to do something have dwindled and many like me have had enough.

Do you know they were "bordering on the acceptable" or is that a summation?

Still trying to workout your user name,

KCN = Keighley Community Nursery

and BABT - because you meant to type BABY (as in nursery) and you hit "T" instead of "Y"?

Am I close?

No. Things never progressed from the meetings in the Southbank with the administrator and RFL.

Liquidate the club and miss the 2017 season before rejoining League One in 2018 as a phoenix club is my prediction.

It's looking increasingly like a future at Odsal is not a viable option , is there any potential council support that could result in a new stadium being built ?

The will to start a club from scratch is not there. People are not only disillusioned by what is going on at the Bulls but also with professional rugby in general. If the Bulls are liquidated people will either stop watching rugby altogether or gravitate towards their local clubs such as Queensbury, Dudley Hill etc.

Hahaha. Absolutely no chance.

Nrl subscription for me on Premier sports. Won't be bothering with the game in this country.

No. And to be honest we should not expect any. For a start, the council is cash strapped without supporting a rugby club. THere is also a professional soccer club in the city, how would that be balanced out regarding contributions. And we have Keighley RLFC that is also within the city boundaries. And, as I was reminded by REDEVERREADY we were given £5m by the council when we returned to Odsal from VP in exchanged for the now fabled lease conditions.
