@rosshmediaman: I've spoken to the main player behind the bid to buy the Bulls tonight and can confirm its unconditional.

RFL want more details on new bid, MORE time wasting, no regard to players and coaching staff difficulties.

well you can't blame the RFL for wanting to know what meat is on the bones, they have been slagged off on this forum for letting the Bulls get into this position in the first place. Some have said the licence team didn't look in detail at the bid as regards financing at the Bulls, others have had a go at the secret £700k loan and more said they were to blame when they bought out the lease thus instigating the Bank to close the overdraft facility. They want to make sure this time that the bid will solve the problems and the Bulls are financially secure. It would look really bad if they just rubber stamped the offer and 6 months down the line the new owner didn't have the funds to run a SL team in 2013.

Whoa.

Hell.

Well...Well...Well...

No doubt you lot will STILL slag Bradford City Football Club off after all these years even though they have tabled a bid to save you.

only way to cut costs is to only play at one venue......mmmmmm

It'll all end in tears!

The other day when I said that things could not get any weirder....I was wrong!

It would work for both clubs IMO.
It would help City with the rent costs and the Bulls get a modern 25k seater stadium.
Mark Lawn has already discussed to us at a meeting last year that if this was to happen they'd get rid of the first few rows in both the Kop and Bradford End to accomodate a Rugby League pitch.

No doubt we will get the odd idiot saying the usual crap...
Unsafe area
We will get attacked
Our cars will be broken in to
etc etc etc

Perfectly fine for 10/11k on a Saturday or Tuesday for the Bantams.

This is certainly going to be intersting to say the least.

Fake Sheiks blown out of the water with CITY bid , wow.
Costs saving must be the driver and that means .................. 1 ground surely ???

Mark Lawn and Julian Rhodes have said numerous times they haven't got any money left?!
So what I want to know were is this money coming from?!
Unless they've got a buyer for City?!

Like I say you never know relations might improve with the two clubs if this was too happen.

The devil will be in the detail. Key questions will include:

1 - Does this mean finally it is exit Odsal stage left and to VP permanently? With the RFL selling the lease back to the council for redevelopment? Seems a bit inconceivable that BCFC would buy the club and noit move it to VP?

2 - Is it just Bradford City, or are others such as Mr Parkin involved? That was all mooted before, with this provoiding a means of freeing up the Odsal site for redevelopment. Is this where the money is coming from?

3 - Who will they put in to run the club? Might we see Caisley, Noble etc. al in after all? Are they involved in this?

I wrote a bit of fictional speculation on here several weeks ago. I wonder how close, or otherwise, that will turn out?

The scant details so far suggest the club and its SL status can be saved. On the face of it, that sounds like excellent news. Lets now see more about what is involved, so we can better assess the implications.
