I thought they had a safety certificate before they went to Dewsbury in protest at the council rates bill????

I appreciate the question but the fact is I aren't an accountant who has run the RFL and now runs the Bradford Bulls.

Nor am I privvy to the Bradford bulls decision to leave Bradford for two years and pay no rent at all to the council and let said council stew in Bulls Ratepayer fans complaining.

All I can go on is said highly experienced RL administrator and accountant telling people publicly that he can make the books balance now. I can only explain that as a deal with the council. This gets Bulls back in Bradford, voters happy with the council, money back into the council rates account albeit less than before and local businesses having good income as Bulls fans swell the takings on matchdays.

So the extra money doesn't come from anywhere, it's likely the council dropping the rent that makes going back "tenable". Now I have not seen any headline saying "Council drop Bulls rent" and can only guess the council and the Bulls have agreed to keep it private. This isn't BTW a conspiracy theory, it's what the Bulls moved to Dewsbury for to force the councils hand IIRC corrections welcome..

Anyway just flicked open an RL yearbook....Huddersfield.v.Bradford 8,297 fans .......Bradford.v.Huddersfield 11,368 fans..... Hudderfiield.v.Catalans 4,383.............

Again never spoke to Ken Davey, but I'd guess he wants Bulls back in Superleague?

I think I read somewhere, possibly on the Bulls forums, the rent on Odsal, is being split 3 ways, with the RFL paying one third, Bulls paying one third, can’t remember who’s the other party. If the RFL are paying any monies, that belongs to all the member clubs, they, the members have a right to know their money is being spent. If I’m wrong, then apologies.

You weren't asking a question just spouting off the usual rubbish about how the RFL bend over backwards to help us.

If you want to know how the club can afford it try reading the last few pages.

Apology accepted - you're well wide of the mark.

Maybe stock cars pay a third and maybe the other third was dropped because the rent was too great so there were no takers.

So the RFL cut the rent by a third and took the hit so Bulls and stock cars pay two thirds which is a lot better than nothing.

MB-BBB do I win the prize??

Yeh but who put them on the edge??
