Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

The one thing we should do is drop all fake SL era club names, and cull all fans who use them. Therefore if you're a Bradford Northern fan who has ever at any point referred to your club as the Bulls you should be banned for life from the game.

Somehow I don't think that would help with attendance figures  |

So mergers are great, as long as Bradford stay stand alone. |

It's fine, let's merge Bradford and Fax, but let's play out of the better ground in Halifax (less capacity but at least you can watch the game properly). We could call them the Faxbulls for a season, or maybe even the BullyFax and then get bored of that and revert to just plain Halifax RLFC. Sorted.
What everyone forgets (albeit it doesn't really apply to Bradford) is that RL clubs are mostly run as limited companies, and most will have hefty directors loans sitting on their books. If a merger was to come along, I'd expect that said directors would want that loan repaying, unless they were to have a major position in the merged team. Said repayments would probably send most clubs into bankruptcy. |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Halifax is a great RL stadium - it would be a really good home for the Bulls

No sounds fanciful tbh. Bradford need to remain as a stand alone club.
Fax to merge with the other greater Manchester clubs. |
