You've perhaps not noticed but the whole competition structure is predicated on 12 teams per league. |

That won't happen. Without a club there isn't any central funding to share out.
You'll just have to lose a player or two.
Cut your cloth so to speak. |

| Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "I tend to agree with that but it also devalues the Championship having no team for Hull KR to play at the summer bash. Teams getting byes every week in the league and season tickets at all clubs now being worth less than what they were bought at (plus club's losing income).
So either way it's not really very good is it? RFL are in between a rock and a hard place brought about the people that have run Bradford Bulls over the last 10-15 years.
Personally I'd prefer to sit the season out and see a new club formed properly and not at the last minute. Apply for entry into League 1 and build properly from there. Even if it means years as a semi pro team with no academy etc. At least it would be right.'"
Agree with all that
No lover of the RFL, but they were 'damned if they did, damned if they didn't' this time... |

| Quote: Highlander "This is the problem. We did have enough to meet our obligations before Green took over.
I've spoken to Calvert, they had steadied the ship, no debt, income/outgoings were balanced.
Then Green appeared as a complicating factor, and he was invited into the club by Whitcut.
Then 2years later, we're bust. And the owner is now being investigated for obtaining money by deception & false accounting.
If any criminality is proven, how is any of this the fault of the players, staff, fans or indeed, the RFL?'"
Its not at all their fault. But neither is it a reason to give a new Bradford the gift of free entry into the Championship. Tolouse, Toronto and many others had to start at the bottom and work their way up. Why does your successive screw ups make you eligible for special treatment?
A new club has to earn its place in the second tier. |

Very difficult circumstances now regarding re-staffing.Unless someone bankrolls to enable continuity of existing playing staff full time as prior. Then, indeed, we face losing most, if the decision is to go part time.Has to be development of Odsal and get the lease back otherwise we would be back where we started.

That's gone, already been used to pay players wages. |

| Quote: el red "Sorry it came to this but as I said a while ago it was coming. Some things the fans need to know
Agree El Red. Rohan was in cahoots with Green and Duffy at the time with all three knowing the money had run out, yet still signing players in the hope of gambling that they would sell enough season tickets to see out the off season.
Marc Green was down on the creditors list for £960,000 when I have it on good authority he never put anything close to that in.
I have my suspicions who the RFL are going to favour in this new bidding process and you be rest assured that now there's a clean slate to build on, some of the people currently working at the club who have contributed to the decline of the bulls will be out the door.

Rules can be changed at a moments notice it would seem, we have no TV coverage obligating us to have 12 teams unlike SL. So more money for all of us. |

Why not drop the Bulls to Champ1 with no points deduction and put the Toronto team into the Championship, just need the fixtures regigging
So sorry that Bulls are no more, really enjoyed Leigh playing them these last few years and remember their last game against us in the 60's before they folded and reformed to go on and achieve greatness. The lesson to learn is the grass is not always greenerm

Aye, that would be a piece of p*ss for Toronto to rejig their plans. It's not like they're travelling far and will have planned for that travel eh? And it's not like they'll have been in touch with all the Championship 1 clubs about their travel to Toronto either. Will be dead easy for them to change all that and arrange it with the Championship teams instead.
Bradford staying in the Championship won't sit well with hardly anyone, including most of our fans. But you can understand from a logistical point of view why it's been done. Had the liquidation happened in October or November, I highly doubt it would be the case. |

You're asking in the wrong place. The general consensus on here is that a drop to Ch1 is what is best for the club. The RFL have different ideas |

I'm not sure who you are arguing with. I don't see anyone on here delighted with today's result or the RFLs decision. |
