| For such a small sport, I find it staggering how keen some other supporters are to see Bradford dumped into the lower leagues. If a review proves that the sport would benefit from seeing the Bulls dropped and another club come up.. then fair enough.

A ' review ' ? , would that be by the same ' reviewer ' that gave an almost bancrupt club a ' B' licence less than 12 months previously?
If the mess your club has created and the damage it has done to the credibility of the sport isnt enough to see you lose your SL place, then our small sport will not be getting any bigger, and nothing any ' lesser ' club could do would make it any worse
Maybe we could have one of you creditors ' review ' you to see where they think you should play? , how many were there? , seven pages of them, 150 grands worth

| Glasgow Rangers.....
RFL don't have the b@lls.
SPL/DIV 1 etc will miss Rangers far more than SL would miss Bradford.
Nothing personal, but with 'franchising' this was to prevent crusaders/london/bradford situations.

So we just completely ignore the good work that the club did at the start of the SL era? The good news stories that the club did create? A team that participtes in one of the biggest derby games in RL? A team that has been involved in 2 of the 3 highest attendances of this year? A team with one of the strongest supporter base in SL? A team that has proved it can be the very best in SL and on the world stage, despite having no sugar daddy? A team who's supporters were prepared to blindly pledge money for no return other than to try and save the club? A club who's staff worked for no pay such was their passion for the club?
Feel free to add to the list... I'm sure there is plenty that I've missed. Do you truly believe that kicking Bradford out is in the best interest of the game of RL? Or is it just purely for selfish and vindictive reasons?

I think you forget the fact that Scottish Football is far stronger than Super League in terms of financial clout.

Interesting point that, as I was damn sure your BoD told all you supportes that the pledge had passed the £500k mark, however in that article it says "The pledges from fans raised just over £400,000" mmmmmm

You have dumped all that in the bin for a fresh start.
You can't have it both ways.

| TBH, reading the, so called, arguments put forward by certain fans who are calling for Bradford's expulsion from the league I find myself put in mind of a small child throwing a tantrum.
You just know they were rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of the Bulls going out of business, but now that little joy has been snatched from them, they're rolling on the ground screaming and crying about how unfair it all is and how they're not able to enjoy the demise of our club.
And I must say, that thought makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

You miss the point of my argument, your ' missdemeanour ' either deserves demotion or it doesnt, I couldnt care less, but to suggest that it is possible to somehow compare the Bulls against Leigh,Fax or Fev in an impartial way is just ridiculous, your place in SL was confirmed when the clubs decided it would remain at 14 , any ' contest ' would be pointless
As for any previous ' contribution ' to the Sport or SL, that really is irrelivant

Well there seems to be conflicting arguments going on here. Do you think there is a NL club that currently has more to offer SL than a Newco Bradford or are you just looking to further punish the Bulls by relegating them?

The pledge total included more than just the fans pledges. If you cannot be bothered to find out what they were, I won't waste my time telling you.

1st of all the ' NL s ' ended 4 years ago ( your ignorance shows there ) , the point is you either carry over everything, ( previous history,attendances,all the good stuff and all the bad stuff, 1.5 million debts ) or its a clean slate all over, and everything you put forward is ' speculative '
How you compare to other clubs, be they SL or not should not be the deciding factor of you remaining in SL, you stay or go on your merits or failings, not somebody elses
