| Burgess and Whitehead to Hull, Adam Pearson can get his checkbook out and gives you £400,000. Bradford stay in business. Sounds good to me.

| What licence grade did they receive last year? Didn't the RFL look at their projected financial performance as part of the licence process?

As a side note if they do not go in to admin will this still be taken in to account when discussing the licences as even though it was not one of the factors this time when the RFL commented on us gaining a position they still said they had to comment on the situation'"
I understand, but you should've just rose above it. Wakefield have come out of this strong, you don't need to play that game or be bitter about them.

| This is a very serious dereliction of duty and a clear failure of the franchise system to spot a problem.
Last year Wakefiield were touch and go and rightly so - we went bust and the RFL refused to support us and rightly so - yet at the same time the Bulls must have been well in the mire and lying through there back teeth. They then got RFL support which was massive and should have been enough, it clearly wasn't - even the RFL are not that stupid and have clearly had the wool pulled over there eyes. Worst of all the Bulls seem to have made no attempt to cut there cloth in the last few month. It's like they feel entitled to be bailed out by the RFL and now their fans.
Sympathy for the fans not the club - the club should take the pain and we will have Burgess for starters as I believe that's how it works these days!

| Not pleasant news. It's a terrible feeling when this happens to your club. Hope you can pull out of it. We where in a similar position not so long ago, I would'nt wish it on anybody. Good luck.

| Quote: Wellsy13 "Looks like they'll have to sell off a few players. Tom Burgess, Elliott Whitehead, Bateman... Can't see the club keeping hold of these if they need to raise money.
We'll take Burgess...'"
If they go into admin they won't get any money from the sale of players - all clubs will wait until they are in admin, no one is going to pay for players who will be free of charge in 4 weeks time.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| So lets look at this from a historical point of view, 12 months ago the Bulls were in serious debt , had borrowed massively off the RFL and were clearly unsusstainable as a SL club, the RFL must have been aware of this as they were part of the debt
And they were given a licence?
So was it incompetance? , or corruption?
If I was the Halifax BOD this morning I would be rather upset with the character assassination carried out on my club by the governing body in the light of this situation

Three super league clubs in serious trouble over the last 12months or so suggests they don't.

FFS. Not good is it!
I'm pretty sure the club will survive but not sure in what guise. I hope they pull through this and come out of it a stronger outfit.

Well they seemed to be doing fairly well, last time I looked.
And with a far better stadium, having sold out the previous one to Tesco.

And you say this based on what. They may be entitled to be in SL but it's up to the creditors whether they actually will in the likely event the fans don't raise a million pounds.
Hardly a non story is it!

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Have you even read the article? We might not even be able to fulfill our remaining fixtures THIS season, never mind the next one!
