So is there a fundamental problem somewhere , ie Odsal ? , or just a successession of crooks ? |

Odsal is clearly a bit of a money drain, but the main problem of the last couple of years have been the FT squads of 40+ players and the large number of backroom and office staff - the salary bill for last November was over £180k! Maybe some money does need to be put in to keep the Club going, but nowhere near £1million a year to have a relatively successful Bradford in the Championship. |

You're right, it was. I forget it was split across two years.

Chancers would be more accurate, but yes and yes. |

| Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "
Now let me give you the real reason we are in the Championship in 2017. The RFL own the lease to Odsal. They are paying £70k a year for the lease plus any stadium maintenance. They NEED a tenant, otherwise they would lose money and it would be difficult for them to get out of the lease. If Bradford were liquidated to League 1, the owners would not have us playing there. The RFL would still lose money. So they are basically holding us to ransom by taking our registration away. But trying to play it off as a reward, for example
The RFL aren't paying 70k a year for the odsal lease. They pay a peppercorn rent to the council. They charge the bulls 70k to play at odsal. And the club pay for any maintenance not the RFL.

So is the message basically that whatever happens there will always be a pro rugby league club in Bradford as it is never to allow it to die even if it means admin every year and people/businesses losing money ?

Depends really, there was always a chance that nobody came forward willing to take the reigns.
Hopefully we're never in this position again but honestly I feel like I'm kidding myself saying that.
Until the new owner convinces me otherwise, we've just replaced one chancer with another. |

One would hope there will always be a Pro RL club in Bradford , just as most would hope there will always be one in Huddersfield
Maybe what they need just as you did , is somebody to build them a stadium fit for purpose |

Brand new club, in Bradford, playing at Odsal, with the remains of the Bulls squad but, yes, it's a brand new club. |

The didn't get rid of their coach, he was never their coach in the first place. Smith lost his job just like the rest of them, he was unemployed and hung around hoping the new club would offer him a suitable contract, they didn't |
