Talking of information vacuums, anyone else seen Ethan Ryan and Joe Keyes have started following Gareth Moore on twitter? How long before that's being reported?

Gareth Moore has always been a big mate of Chisholm so maybe they've just struck up a friendship but I agree, we could do with a half back to cover for first month or so

I'm just going to repeat a curious throw away phrase uttered by the lady in the shop when I bought the season tickets. 'I wouldn't worry about it (the tribunal) Andrew's only concern is getting the team on the pitch'

If that's the case, and that attitude is top down then you can understand why other stuff, important to us - communications for example - seem to be massively off the radar at the club with everyone focused on the playing side.

Unfortunately the coaches job is to worry about getting the team on the pitch. The owner should have more concerns because if he gets a team on a pitch in an empty stadium he has lost. (And yes I know we have no coach but there again who's fault is that)

The sceptic in me (which goes with the territory being a bulls fan nowadays) says that he is only interested in getting a team on the field, as his big mate Nige holds a lease saying professional rugby has to be played at Odsal until 2019.............

That's where it gets interesting I think.

If the team is on life support until 2019 when the land can be used for whatever, why bother keeping it going? Let it lie dormant until then? The RFL are making no money as they aren't charging rent so, so close to 2019 you'd surely let it die.

We're on life support for a reason I believe, otherwise why prop up a side in a poor league and waste everyone's time for just one year rather then let it go?

Because it provides a cash boost to other clubs.

While trying to not sound like a broken record, Rugby League is dying in the UK. The RFL surely recognises this, and can't possibly let a possible fanbase of 10,000 that the Bulls could possibly regain (again) disappear.

Having said that, these were the people who suggested that if the Bulls did go their fans would probably support another team.....

To be fair, one person on here has said he's considering a season ticket at Cas or Wakey.

I don't ever really understand that myself. As pssed off as I am, as much as I've sacked off the Bulls whilst I'm this pssed off with the club, I still couldn't bring myself to "support" someone else. Sure, go and watch a game here and there, but not actually support them. It may be different if your club went under maybe, but whilst the club still exists, as much as they infuriate you, you still love em.

Supporting another club? Pfft. No bloody way. If the Bulls packed in RL so would I.

Likewise thinking, unfortunately it's hard not to see the bad side of things. There's been a lot of talk of negativity but I feel after all we've beenput through its realism. Anything other is a complete bonus

Hamster Bullseye you're both talking rubbish. Remember how all those Keighley & Halifax fans changed who they supported after we [istole[/i all their fans.

On a serious note, i agree, If i ever stopped following Bradford, that would be me done with the sport (someone who has a real passion to help it grow and puts a lot of money into it)

I did report what I'd been told some years back that the RFL were happy to see the demise of the club, and whether or not they were, certainly so it has come to pass. What they did in particular with Omar (no money, and the share sale block) was particularly fatal, and last year's wheeze of -12 points AND forcing us to play in the Championship with no team, was just the final coup de grace. They HAVE let a 10K plus fanbase largely disappear. It'll be a long wait before we have 22K plus at a home Rhinos game again. What with low gates and the litigation, I am not confident that without some mystery money from somewhere we have even got the cashflow to keep batting in league 38, or wherever it is we now are.
