I think your wrong on a couple of points Maurice.
Wakefield and probably Cas will hit 10k in supporter numbers when their new grounds are complete, both are around 8k now and surely there will be some "bounce" when they are in s their new stadia.
London only have backing commitment until the end of the current franchise perion and then we have to wait and see, but thier current situation apart from location in the capital does not justify inclusion in SL.
Widnes will continue to improve and with some success they will start to show a vast improvement in supporter numbers.
Salford is a difficult one. A new ground and some improvement in attendances but they will take much longer than the others to acheive 10k.

The only thing were missing is an accountant That can make 2.2 mill look like 1.6mill when it comes time to submit wage receipts!

hehehe Or paying the tax on time.

JUST KICK THEM OUT AND START AGAIN

Thought more Bradford supporters would have turned up at the HJ yesterday considering they were being given back the gate receipts. Do they want a club in Bradford?

It could be that they are all saving up for the next bucket collection once the extension on the extended deadline is extended

The latest update has Guilfoyle blatantly blackmailing the RFL!

If you can't pay the bills, reduce your costs and sell some assets!

Any sympathy for the Bulls plight is waning very quickly.

Assets have been devalued massively by administration. Why pay for something that will be free very shortly. Other clubs are businesses at the end of the day and not charities.

The income from player sales may well be diminished, but the money that can be saved on player wages is a massive factor!

If Bulls aren't paying too many players too much money...where is/has the money gone, from a club that clearly generates a huge income?

And now the latest bid from ABC looks like going the same way as the first.

And if the RFL don't pay the wages and the Administrators firm wont cough up, then I guess they are really staring down the barrel, and as a Widnes fan, I'm wondering if I have a game to go to at the weekend. I hope I do, because, in the same way as I'm not going to blame the fans for the boards mistakes, you can't blame the fans for the rather shoddy way the Administrator and the ABC guys seem to be going about things. I know some fans of other clubs are starting to lose sympathy, but it's not the club that is doing this, it's the administrator and ABC. And the RFL seem to be acting in a fair manner as well, by not bending to the conditions (or blackmail as someone else put it!).

According to news from a public meeting tonight the administrator has extended the deadline to the 31 August, so he's obviously confident he'll be paid for work done up until then.

I can only imagine that means the RFL have agreed to pay the August wages/advance due payments again.

If the unthinkable happens and they do get demoted to the lower leagues, who is going to be promoted in their stead and what sort of package will they get in terms of time? Would hardly be fair to give them two years, wouldn't be fair on others to give them 5.

Could be an interesting one.

I think Fax are the obvious team to give a chance and they already qualify to make a bid. And I don't buy all this "they've had their chance" crap. Every club deserves to have its day. I don't think a club trying and potentially failing is worse than never giving anyone a chance and given a chance they're not going to be too far behind what we have now already. Although losing Bradford will be a massive massive loss for league and questions have to be asked about just how poorly they've been ran in recent years.

At this stage its quite speculative, I do hope for the fans sake that something happens for Bradford.
