As a visiting supporter today I found the lap of honour by your team and ovation for Potter very touching and I enjoyed participating in applauding your team and staff. It will be a memory that will live with me for some time. What was the song that was being played at the time? It almost seemed as though everyone was resigned to an unknown fate but your fans were louder during that final 5 minutes than the whole match. Brilliant.

yes it felt like they were saying thank you and goodbye.whatever the outcome in the next couple of days if they can keep the majority of the playing squad and some of the coaches i get the feeling that something good could come out of all the mess.all of the adversity they,and the fans,have gone through could well galvanise the club onto better times again.spirit in abundance and a fair bit of good rugby coming through at the moment,long may it continue.

Very kind words! Is the song you're thinking of Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now? An emotional few minutes for sure

It was "Nothing's going to stop us now" by Starship. Played after pretty much every home game to be fair, but took on a new level of apt-ness today.

Sadly I think you will be in the championship next season, and I think your replacement will not come from Lancashire or Yorkshire.

Whatever will be will be. We have no longer, as supporters, any influence on what will happen to our club.
But as can been seen from our terrific support today the Bulls will prosper in any league they end up in.

This felt like a last stand, but far from the end. It was a great piece of defiant theatre led by the players and built upon by the paying public who demanded the right to be heard and hopefully made enough noise to convince someone to invest, if not with the head then with their heart, because it was difficult not to be moved today.

It felt like we were putting on a show to impress potential investors and everyone played their part in that. I can't imagine anyone who might be interested in buying in to the Bulls and who saw the pride and passion shown today - from ground staff to players to supporters - would be anything other than hugely impressed. Not only that but I think we also showed what the team means to the people that support it and why Bradford needs to remain in SL. RL can't afford to lose a top flight team with a large fan base and scatter them to the winds, it would be a nail in the coffin of RL as a whole and hopefully the RFL know that.

I'm optimistically awaiting good news in the next couple of days, if it doesn't come then I hope the houses of both previous Chairmen remain cursed because they'll have undone a great part of Bradford's history.

This.

Yes that.

from a rhinos fan please accept my congratulations on the result,also the dignified way in which Mick Potter and coaching staff along with a great bunch of supporters have conducted themselves over the last few days. you deserve better treatment from certain members of the bulls management .
good luck for the future.

Was a very emotional and a fitting tribute to all the staff made redundant.

what a top bloke potter is. Can't ever imagine being laid off then going in to do your job for free days after.

Hope Bradford rise again if this is it for them, best of luck to the staff & players who go.

I even found the half time speech by the gentleman doing your PA work quite sad too. Very touching day all round.

could i just add, well done to the group of 20-30 supporters who stayed after the match, pulled up at home at half 5 listening to radio leeds and they where saying you was still there singing. Felt very sorry for announcer at half time... think he wanted to shed a tear but kept it together well and what a fitting song at the end, most people around me had a tear in there eye.

Absolutely gutted I had to leave at full time, it must have been emotionally charged
