Quote: davids "I, like many others, are worried about the future of our game, particularly how some of these Championship clubs might survive the fallout from COVID and over a year without matchday revenues. Could we see some historic names go to the wall?

Which of those Championship clubs seem to have the most sustainable model and ability to pull themselves out of all this in reasonably robust shape? Who will emerge from this to challenge for a Super League place in the next few years?'"


Oldham and Barrow are OK it's 12-6. Another 12 clubs are alive and kicking off very soon.

The clubs had a nice long break whilst we broke Covid. I think there was a far bigger break during the second world war. Income may have been low but wasn't expenditure low during las summer?

I think issues with sustainability are more likely to come when the Championship lose their SKY funding but they have managed before.......

Quote: davids "A few have said similar, in the Super League 12th place thread. But quite a lot of fans seem to have a problem with their fans and don't want them anywhere near Super League.'"


They have got a hooligan problem which is quite bad by most club’s standards. that Halifax fan that was beaten half to death was really bad. In recent years they only have as many incidents as the other two Wakefield based clubs.

Yep they’ve had to sign their own players this year. It is good for your finances though using Leeds’ academy to field a team and only having 2 players on your books.

hooligan problems can happen at any club and I think we both agree it needs to be stamped out why you should need to mention Wakefield clubs just goes to show your bitter hatred to them, may of been years ago but I was once on a coach exiting odsal when a full house brick was thrown at the window luckily for me there was no injury but then again Bradford fans are angels icon_wink.gif

Yeah course. Going off actual reported incidents that have resulted in fines.

Bradford are well noted for our fans and community work. Us playing out of dewsbury’s ground allows us to reach more underprivileged people. With lockdown ending well be able to roll out our full schools programme. With players holding coaching sessions at schools in the Gawthorpe, Ossett and Horbury areas. It gives the club a chance to give something back plus all the free tickets handed out to kids create more future fans of the club.

Well somebody doesn't like Featherstone, probably more so after they handed you one on TV this afternoon icon_lol.gif

In regards the Halifax fan, have you got proof it was a Featherstone fan? If you do, I suggest you go to the police, because they are still investigating an incident.

I don’t think anyone from Bradford can comment on the state of other areas in Yorkshire.

Wow congratulating another club is now against the AUP? Is that extended to all clubs or just ones that aren’t in Super league?

Can’t have any discussion about lowly championship clubs. Featherstone too working class an area for you? Not fashionable enough. Screw the little guy only big corporate super league clubs allowed here.

Boris is a Giants fan eh Tory boy.

I cant get my head that poster of his hatred to Wakefield, there's one thing that will get inside his head that every time he travels past a traffic sign posting directions to Wakefield it will remind him who put is beloved club in the lower regions of rugby league icon_wink.gif

The thread is about championship clubs and was going well really until you piped up.

Featherstone are a championship club. I know your club want to see an end to the championships and grass routes game so I’ll forgive you not knowing that.

He was never quite like that until Trinity beat his club in the MPG and he just hasn't got over it.
It's a pretty nasty anti Wakefield stuff though and there really isn't any need but, he just loves a chance to have a go.

Amazing how his ire has spread to Fev and he must close his eyes driving through some parts of Bradford.

Fev were just too good for the Bulls yesterday, end of.
