Your confusing the bulls with keighely cougars, any hoot. Surely this has been coming since the exodus started when noble, fielden, vainikolo and the rest of them left. The bulls need to get real and stop trying to con their own supporters, they are stopping the progress of other clubs who maybe better suited to running a professional rugby league club.

You mean how they copied ' Cougarmania ' ?

Exactly!

According to a thread on the Wakey section, we are interested in signing Whitehead, Kopczak and Elima....

What goes around, comes around, ey? Remember Obst, Jeffries, Millard, Ferguson all being "poached" by the vultures? It seems like the tables could be turning. I doubt that we will sign them, but its nice to be linked with some good players for once.

I always enjoy the Cougarmania mythology.

£100k a month??? How is that even possible.

They spend £1.6m a year on first team players, get £1m a year from Sky so they have to pay £50k a month out of their own pockets for the players.

You would think that other staff and rent would get cancelled out by shirt sales, sponsorship and gates.

I guess having 10k fans that pay buttons for their season tickets doesn't help but there has to be something else going on to lose that much during the season.

Im with you, it just doesnt add up. what the hell are they spending the money on!?
whilst its very sad, i think bradford should just be allowed to die now, hopefully coming back stronger in the long term as a result. why should the rugby league community bail them out again? most of us dont support bradford, yet many of us are currently keeping them going with our recent donations (small or not). now they need more money. And if they get that money, what happens a few months down the line? because there seems to be little action to drastically curtail expenditure.

still not gone bust yet then load of old tripe!!! will still be playing next season

Why do you suggest it was a myth?

Bradford shouldn't be treat any differently than other clubs that have gone belly up - but they will.

The whole system is a joke, and until we get big changes at the top then it will continue to be a joke.

RFL -Fail again

It was no myth. What was done at Keighley regarding pre match entertainment, family marketing, community involvement, emphasis on encouraging kids coupled with a successful team on the field bringing huge increases in attendances and creating a positibe buzz for the club in the town was copied, line for line, word for word at Bradford by Deakin I think and became Bullmania.
