There'd be no chance. It would me more likely any High Court hearing would be next year. Maybe they could apply for a temporary injunction to stop the points being deducted pending the Court's ruling.

| A visit to the High Court is an expensive route to take, and a drawn out one. But if we end the season more than 6 points away from safety apart from a possible arena for airing dirty washing and enriching our legal friends not clear how even winning the case would actually help us?

| Before making any judgement I would think Marc Green will want the "full" written explanation promised by the Appeals tribunal. I'd hope that will be a public document. He seems a determined character but not one to risk a large amount of money on legal fees-- the 5k he says he's spent so far would be insignificant compared to a High Court case.
The panel took 2 days to decide the Bulls had not "passed the qualifying threshold" which I take to mean that much of the evidence was not heard or tested and the terms of reference were pretty restrictive.
I don't think it's just Bulls fans who would like to know what really happened and what all the parties ( individually and collectively) actually did and said at the time.
Some posters are convinced their particular version is the absolute truth. Anyone who does not accept that Bulls mismanagement up to December 2013 was the primary cause is IMO , deluding themselves. However , I don't know who to believe and where the blame lies in relation to the events leading up to the deduction.

It's the usual way of avoiding the truth coming out.

| Indeed. Although our peripatetic trolls insist we don't need to know, it's water under (presumably their) bridge, and we just need to "move on"

| When you have dug yourself into a hole like the Bulls in the last few years - "moving on" is exactly what you need to do, and hopefully the team will start by putting in a good shift tonight and giving the fans something to cheer about.

| Well, each to his own. But I can multitask.

| After last night's performance I hope Marc Green decides not to pursue the case. 6 points will make no difference and I would prefer him to use any money to improve the business. We need to spend the maximum allowed on the playing side and invest in the future by retaining Tong and a youth development structure.
If he is still aggrieved he has an alternative.Rather than risking the expense of court action he could just publish his case and supporting evidence and let all fans see his version of events. Obviously Red Hall ( and any other interested parties) would have the opportunity to comment/ dispute his account.
The crowd last night was in my opinion pretty remarkable when you consider the recent lamentable performances, being on Sky and a small away following. A higher crowd than London Wakefield Salford and Widnes achieved in their last home fixture . Only 500 less than the Giants had against Wigan
I think an average crowd of 4 to 4.5 K is achievable in SL2 which should give the Bulls a higher financial base than our new rivals next season. Whether it will be better managed is the key. All the Championship teams seem to be managed well and I fully expect them to use the increased Sky money in 2015 wisely.

| Odsal really doesn't cope well being only 20% full. I suspect we might well only see the main stand in use next season, which I'll hate because I really don't like being seated to watch rugby.

No, but, if we're only getting enough fans to fill the seats, why go to the expense of opening more of the stadium?

I wasn't arguing about the rationale behind only opening the main stand.
