it appears that the chairmen of these very clubs have approved this, so they must believe it is for the good of the game, and for the good of their individual clubs...

And London are the one club that should have been publically supported

I agree with that.

Wont the bankrolling of bradford come from the sky money or the current sl clubs themselves not the rfl?

But you're not iconic, are you?

What the does iconic have to do with it!

RFL/SL have today proved that they are corrupt and the biggest joke organisation ever.

Superleague to Boring league and now Joke league.

so lets give Bradford a special 500 year license, given they are so important they can't possibly ever lose their place in favor of another team...ever. lets just not bother giving Bradford a license in future, they are so 'important' they are just in automatically, don't even bother applying

Do you not recognise sarcasm?

If accepted, London Broncos and the other 12 SL clubs will all own 7.7% of the Bradford Bulls and therefore, will be liable for 7.7% of the running costs of the club. The money used to bail out Bradford since January this year comes from the SL Kitty......which is itself run by the RFL and is made up predominantly of SKY TV cash.

Regardless of who signs the cheques, this money would be better spent developing the game rather than propping up a badly run business. The only reason the RFL/SL have made a bid is to protect their investment in Oddslum. If Bradford Bulls vanish, they (the RFL) will own the lease on a stadium that nobody will want to pay to use.

As I say, a dangerous precedent is being set by the RFL and as much as it may sound nasty.....Bradford Bulls should have been let die instead of being propped up by the other member clubs.

It is often said that no player is bigger than a club, or that no club is bigger than the game, but it would seem that Bradford Bulls are deemed bigger than RL itself.
