An e-mail i have seen from Petit to season ticked holders states that whist he has proposed the club is liquidated, he hasn't yet appointed a liquidator.

From the original post, and the cloak and dagger approach, i'm thinking this meeting is more of a come meet the person that the RFL have already given the green light to form a new Club.

As a result, the (potential) new owner(s) are trying the hardest to make sure they can keep some sort of a team for the following season.

I highly doubt a buyer will make a late approach for the club from the administrator, as the RFL has already set the scene that the punishment for writing everything off will be exactly the same.

Fingers and toes crossed!

I though that already existed at Beamish

It all sounds incredible to me. So much fails to add up.

If the numbers don't work it's business as usual.

If it's Lamb and his plan to remain at Odsal then it is more business as usual.

I couldn't agree more Greg.

I just hope that for the Bradford fans whom I have meet over the last couple of years (who have all been great) that Bradford get a competitive team on the pitch next year that they can rally round.

Good luck for the years to come.

It will be Lamb, carried into the room by Mick on his shoulders!

Not really picking off the bones more rescuing the survivors from the sunken ship.

What Gary Petitt has told you ties in with what Stuart Duffy has said that the club is in legal limbo and that the liquidation papers haven't been sent off yet because a new buyer has been found.

Why do I get the feeling the words "due dilligence" are slowly making their way into a press statement at some time this evening.

Has this supposed new bidder even met with the RFL?

So is anyone intrigued enough to be in the car park at 3 30 this afternoon?

On the players leaving, even if something out of my imagination happens today, they would all have been eligible to go under the Kopout rule (otherwise known as TUPE), but how many would have wanted to go assuming T&C's stay the same?

Finally the players are joining their new clubs with a cap exemption, if this happens, there could possibly be no need for an exemption, so what the hell happens there. Roll on 4
