2014 will be a worrying time if they can't turn things around.

Their stadium will be one of the worst, with Saints and Salford having new grounds, Cas most likely also, Rovers having an extended East Stand, new North Stand and a covered seated temp South Stand, Catalans having their renovations done by end of this season. Leeds will have their new South Stand also, so that leaves Odsal as probably the worst ground left by then, with no signs of change as of yet.

Haven't been in the play offs in since 2008, so if that continues that would be 6 seasons out of the top 8, which was part of the criteria last time I checked.

Apart from the pledge, crowds have been below 10k the last 2 years. Can they afford to keep doing the pledge? They might have to as attendances could be one of the only things working in their favour.

Juniors seem to be OK though. Got some good ones coming through.

I'd certainly say it's squeaky bum time in Bradford in the next set, especially if Cas get a new ground, Salford see a boom at theirs and Rovers get their renovations sorted (assuming it's Wakefield that go).

No, just like most of the other clubs they'll come up with an impressive [dellist of things that won't ever happen[/del business plan.

I hope that the size of the league is increased and the "magic" weekend abandoned.

No because they didn't get a C grade licence last time. They won't be kicked out but they'd better get a C grade licence this time becuase they have contributed sweet FA on the pitch.

Just posted this elswhere but...

I think (& hope) next time round in 2015, 2 clubs will be put into SL and no-one will be dropped down to make a 16 team SL. There would be no P&R then for 1 year to help these 2 clubs steady the ship..

What I hope would happen then is Promotion and relegation will then be brought back into the game.

My idea would be that a club who wins promotion can only be promoted if they meet certain criteria (ground, crowds etc) a bit like if say Oldham gain promotion to Super League but can't enter as their ground isn't up to the required standards. If the club can't go up they recieve a handsome cheque and the relegation doomed SL club can then live to fight another day.

A bit like the whole Yawnion Leeds/Cornish Pirates scenario..

3rd best supported club in the competition. Daft thread. On youth players the reason they are getting battered at the moment is they're having to play all their young players now because of injuries and it's too early for them.

Hudds didn't lose [itheir[/i licence when continually bottom of the league (can't remember how many times, I lost count) did they, so why should the Bulls?
I've read some poor attempts at trolling but this is a serious contender for poorest effort of the year........

quite a few smug arrogant giant fans at the moment, evven though they havn't won anything!

question is, when uncle ken pops his cloggs, will giants worry about a licence when no more money comes into bankroll the club?

Its no wonder the midget fans are disliked with the arrogance they show, come back when you have achieved half of what the bulls have in SL.

i Was reflecting the comments of Bradford fans on your board such as viewtopic.php?f=19&t=494488 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=494527 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=492874 and this one In your last 27 games (ie, a full season), you have 11 points (1 win in 13 last year and 4 and a draw in 14 this year). To put that into perspective: Wigan: 40 Crusaders: 20 Salford: 20 Quins: 17 Wakey: 16 Bradford: 11 All from the Bradford board. I then extrapolated it to look at whether it could impact on your SL licence. FWIW i dont think it will affect your SL status. I also agree that until we win some silverware the Giants have achieved nothing ( feel free to use it for Sig material).

i think its a valid question really, because the ground at odsal is imo the worst in super league and that seems to be the main reason for throwing clubs out, it wont happen this time even though to me its worse than wakey but in 3 years time it is a realistic scenario.

There weren't any licenses to lose when the giants were first in SL...and it seems the money they spent on building an infrastructure then (rather than over prices over seas imports like some of out nearest competitors) is now paying dividends, while others who failed to invest in the future are now up the proverbial creek...
