| I have good memories of Barley Mow and McLaren Field. I recall that not too many years ago a group of fans formed a committee and reestablished the club. They were successful and the Buffaloes did very well in the Summer Conference.
I don't know if members of that relaunch group are still around and whether they or others are intending to make an appeal. If they are and money is required then I for one would contribute.I would hope that local professional clubs (Bulls Rhinos and Hunslet at the least) would help . Dixie's post suggests that the problems are not monetary-- if that's the case then it does need an organising committee to start the ball rolling.
It's important that we do our best to keep league history and tradition but let's not confuse the 2 situations . each case needs different solutions

| I don't see why Bramley will cease to exist outside the NCL. Nine new clubs have just been accepted into the league this week to form the basis of a new Division three, each of them has played at some point in regional leagues over a period of time until they met the strict criteria.
I coach an NCL team myself, and I also know people that play at Bramley. The last thing I want to see is clubs going under, at any level, but at the same time, letting in a team that isn't upto the standards the league requires would open a big can of worms, and be detrimental to the competition.

| Bramley are a community run club. Something I, & others, suggested as an option for the Bulls...

| I was at the do with Jamie Peacock when Bramley set up again a few years back and would happily go to a fundraising event and throw a few quid in. I'd also happily go to a few games when the Bulls aren't playing.
Hope they survive.

| Lots of memories of games at the Barley Mow/McLaren Field and it would be a sad day for RL if such a historic club as Bramley were to go to the wall, and I hope the club survives and moves on from where it is now. Lack of junior teams does suggest a lack of local interest, which I find a bit hard to believe, to be honest.

| I hope they survive, however there does appear to be a lack of interest in the local area, and are having trouble raising a team and fulfilling fixtures.
In answer to the OP i notice there is nothing on the Keighley forum offering assistance, i suggest that this is just fourth division trolling!

| I was born in Bramley and spent my first 5 years there. The idea of them not existing is absolutely absurd when you consider they were beating everyone in Div 3 (or whatever its called) year on year relatively recently.

Its not absurd when you think about it, they as has been said raid local clubs for players, who then due to play offs etc have to wait for players to come back as i know some of them were getting paid! You would have thought the money would have been better spent on giving th eclub some structure as someone has said all they are are a name, no 2nd tea, no juniors, no ground, and as for beating all in front of them they have won the competition twice since its inception in 2003!

| I'm not sure it is lack of interest in RL that is the problem in Bramley. It is probably more that kids now naturally are drawn to more successful clubs, there is a general reduction in kids playing competitive sport & there are plenty of alternative RL clubs in the immediate vicinity.

| Not sure about any plans to have a junior set up. It would seem pretty hard to do as the team play out of Stanningley, which already has a big junior set up and plays in NCL.

I suppose that's been a long term problem for such as Bramley, and I guess Hunslet too. Neither are going to outscore the Rhinos in popularity and maybe local clubs in general are going to lose out to big city rivals for fans at games, but there's no logical reason why both can't find their own local niche, even if it means being feeder clubs for the Headingley outfit. That said I'm not sure the new rules regarding junior sides at SL clubs does teams like Bramley any favours.

Once upon a time they were contemperies , briefly even equals of the mighty Northern , with a long history .
Of course the troubles at Bramley are not in any way comparable to Bradfords , and your dissmissive post does you no credit my friend
