Quote: Ian P "The last time a club disapeared half way through a season was 1963 and it was Bradford Northern. The records for that season where "expunged" which means you just take out all the Bradford figures from the league table.

'"

If that is what happens then Leeds would in theory play 1 less game then everyone else. Can't see them doing that tbh.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



Sky TV money is paid to the RFL who then dole it out monthly to all the clubs. They are very reluctant to give advances on the Sky money to clubs as they know what they are like.

They'd have to remove all fixtures against Bradford plus all Magic Weekend fixtures in order to smooth things over fixture-wise, otherwise, as you say, Leeds would have 1 game less than everyone else.

Quote: ComeOnYouWolves "Do people get a refund on season tickets for a game that they would no longer see? What happens about the lost revenue from away fans, people who buy game by game tickets who wont have a game to go to and also food and drinks sales losses?'"


For what the fans pay for a season ticket they have hardly lost out. One of the reasons why they lose so much money.

As for admin i'm sure that the current owner or someone else is waiting in the wings to take over once the current debt is removed from the books.

Why are you banging on about this?
A club faces extinction and people will lose their jobs, suppliers will not be paid! Do you really think anyone cares about what to do about the points already won and lost?

Its certainly not the most important thing, but it is something that will need dealing with if the worst does happen.

Yes. As Mr Zucchini Head says it not THE most important issue but it is AN important issue to figure out how the league continues if Bradford can't.

I was talking about fans of teams like Warrington who are due to host the Bradford Bulls on the 29th July. We have not had hugely subsidised season ticket offers. These are the fans i am talking about.

Look its sad that Bradford may go down the pan but that's what you get for mismanagement. Hull KR went through the same thing and it was 20 years before we finally got back into the top flight of rugby league. It's happened. People may lose their jobs etc and I myself was out of work for 5 months due to my company going bust. But the reality is that there are 13 other teams in the Super league and to be quite honest I'm of the opinion that I don't really care what happens as no one did when Hull KR went under. I care more about how it affects my club.

My heart bleeds for you. You lose one game off your season ticket, we lose our club. Thanks for your concern.

Like that will happen.

How about a phoenixed Bradford Northern Bulls RLFC? You should obviously be booted out of Super League, but should be able to join NL2, so it's not like there isn't a road back.

But if a huge amount of the money is due to the HMRC I can't see them accepting a lower figure.
So unless the new owner (If there is one) is willing to settle that debt then I can't see a deal being made.
I could be wrong here but I believe Wakey didn't own money to the tax man.
If true then that one thing makes it a different kettle of fish IMHO.

How any league works if a team goes under all their results are removed and a new league table is produced to reflect that.

I haven't even got a season ticket.......i was asking a hypothetical question which could have been about any club who will be hostingBradford at home. This could be a Salford or Wakefield who need the money as a club to have that game played. Maybe they dont and they are fine money wise but teams will have budgeted for 13 home games and may miss out on the matchday income that they would have got, like me who would have turned up at the HJ and bought a ticket, drinks etc.

It is about what wider impact this could have for the remainder of the season. I have already posted about how sorry i was to have heard the news on your own board earlier today.

But what would happen to the Extra game that Leeds played against them? Would the result stand or would Leeds play one less game then the rest of SL?
