thats what I've said all along. IF they brought back P+R and we had a chance to bounce straight back, then the younger players might be prepared to stick with us for a year in championship and we could come back into SL in 2014. But if we had to go down to Championship for two years (or even 5 as me may not qualify to apply for a license in 2014) then we'd lose all the youth weve spent last five years bringing through (as quite rightly they'd want to play at SL level) and have to start from scratch. Coming on top of last few years of downwards spiral think it would be final stroke for a lot of fans and we'd never get back up.

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Yes but that doesnt matter, youd be playing in the vibrant, worth winning in its own right Championship

| it also doesnt matter because they couldnt pay them enough to make them stay, the SC in the lower leagues would make it impossible.
its also a good job it doesnt matter because relegating Bradford on the basis they werent financially viable, then putting them in a system which doesnt check their financial viability but rather encourages them to spend on players rather than the clearly much more needed investment on infrastructure in the hope of promotion with no protection once promoted leading again to a vicious cycle where Bradford dont have the space to invest in infrastructure but must now, again, spend on players to avoid relegation sounds like probably the most retarded plan Bradford could possibly have.
If you sat down and actually tried to think of a plan that is as stupid and idiotic as you possibly can think of, it would probably be to put Bradford in the championship and tell them to hang on to their youngsters and chase promotion at the first opportunity.

| Why would Bradford want or need a merger with Fax, the RFL will prob pay the wage bill to keep them going.

| Your Right lampboy !!.
Bradford will NOT be allowed to fail , (just like the Financial Banks), .... For the RL, Bradford are "TOO BIG TO FAIL". The RL will continue to pay the wages , as they bought their ground, and will give them eternal life in Super League !...
The RL game has not been a fair, level playing field through-out the kingdom, for a long time !

You're absolutely correct; it is lampboy's right to make comments, however daft. Just as you are.
Not sure about the 'financial' banks. Is there another sort? However, to correct you, the RFL didn't buy the ground they bought a lease to the ground, which isn't quite the same thing but, hey ho why let the facts get in the way of a good rant. Incidentally, the RFL haven't (to the best of my knowledge) "paid the wages" - what they have done is advance payments due under the TV contract, so it was the Bull's money just paid a bit early.
But yeah, as you say it's "your right", and you've used it.

Do you know, I was really worried that the Bulls were about to go down the pan, but now I know we have eternal SL life, it's a big weight off my mind, I can tell you. Thank you so much.

| Eeek ..... How toe curlingly embarrassing.
Just seen the news !. (may be owned by all the other SL clubs / SL(E) ?), How does that work ?
That will make you popular around the RL family !.
For your own self respect, do a Glasgow Rangers. You will be be better thought of, and eventually you will be back bigger and stronger.
Are Bradford really more important than other clubs ?... - "TOO BIG TO FAIL "?.
(may be so )
