| I'm supportive of Bradford's plight and especially the people who have lost their jobs but this deal may change my opinion.
It will be a loss to the league if Bradford go under and I don't want that to happen, however, if the new consortium are demanding things that will put them in an unfair advantage, or will damage the integrity of the league then I am much less supportive of the club.
At Wakefield, Andrew Glover put a plan in place to save Wakefield. He in fact had two plans, one was a model to support the club if they were "relegate" and one if not. That kind of attitude shows that he wanted the club to survive no matter what. It wasn't just about now but a long term plan.
These guys seem to be playing chicken with the rugby league to get a deal just because they know the RFL don't want them to be lost as a club and they don't want to have an asset of Odsal that isn't being used.
They should put a plan in place for the RFL to review and see if they are worthy of a franchise, not demand it or else.

For better or worse, we've moved our elite competition to Sky Sports. To say that we have took it away from the masses, however, is a little hysterical. People with more than a passing interest in sport nowadays will have a subscription to Sky Sports. If they still choose not to watch RL, then that's down to their indifference, not the act of "selling our soul".
And before people start crying poverty, and saying they can't afford to watch the rugby anymore; if you really can't afford the fifty quid or so a month to watch what you claim is a sport you are passionate about, then watching rugby is probably the least of your problems.

AFAIK the Championship clubs only received SKY money during one of the seasons when SKY broadcast their games. This was not a share of the SL cash.
