Except...1/6 of that would go in VAT.

And I suspect it would be a very big ask for some families.

But the concept may have legs.

Not just Fax's application but the 5 teams in Superleague who were awarded a Grade C license. Infact it just shows what a farce the Superleague licensing system is.

I do feel sorry for the fans who are being asked to fork out their hard earned cash. If I were a Bradford Bulls fan I would not trust any of the Bulls board as far as I could throw them.

Good idea, we've all had very cheap season tickets, this shouldn't be too much to ask.

A rugby league club to support!

Not unless a way can be found of not handing over £1 in every £6 to the VATman, I suggest?

Banks consider lots of variables when considering borrowing amounts. Did Mr Hood and Co not do their due diligence on the affect the lease deal would have on borrowing!!!

We are in a pitiful state!!




The Neighbour

Gobsmacked at the way this has come out, supposedly 2 weeks from closure? After all we have been led to believe by the club over the past few years at fora.

Adey's been pretty much a lone voice with the concerns about our cashflow but from club press releases we've never been rich but have been surviving. Now it suddenly appears we've been clinging on with our fingernails.

My guess is that the bank didn't know we owed huge sums to the RFL. When the deal was done they expected a big cash injection and when it didn't arrive they dropped the overdraft. This smacks of a bank who feel they've been misled.

Surely its still better than what we'd have otherwise? Even with the deduction. I hope the club are currently cold calling every medium to large company in Bradford asking for donations in return for free tickets/free advertising etc. Anyone called Ken this morning?

shocking state of affairs.


BTW, on the pledge form online there are multiple options for the amount you want to pledge, starting with "up to £50" so its not a blanket £100, just whatever you can afford.

I know how they feel !

Personally I'd be happy to put some money in, and possibly more than £100 if I were getting shares in return.

I fear the deadline is too close to raise what the club are saying they need. It's been sprung on us too quickly and there are heaps of unanswered questions.

Making Leeds game all ticket is defo a good idea. No concessions for anybody and lets have a show of force.
