And for how long were they actually run well?

They copied ideas from Keighley and had no plan B for when the gloss wore off. They were in decline under Caisley.

The guy who ran the marketing department of an American football team totally got all his ideas from Keighley. Banging that drum twenty years on is absolutely the right point to be making.

That's not the point, everyone knows where keighley got their ideas from. Nothing new to sport, but new in the most part for flat cap rugby league.

The point is, you were not well run beyond the initial enthusiasm and had no plan B to sustain "ahem" bull mania.

I'm "banging that drum" because it's relevant to the original post I quoted, as annoying as it may seem to you

But they are no longer "pedigree", they are now "mongrel" so the kennel club are kicking them out. What would you have done? Guaranteed their place for life?

As to your view on life outside SL, we are true supporters who love our RL and support our team through thick and thin. Maybe you're one of the new generation of glory supporters like the one I spoke to at Leeds who, when I put the hypothetical question to him "If Leeds went out of business tomorrow what would you do?", instantly replied "support someone else" as if it was of no consequence whatsoever that his team had just disappeared.

And yet it's the point you went out of your way to make.

That Bulls copied someone else's ideas without a plan b is significant to the post, where keighley got them from is not.

the clubs would likely stop them.

You know earlier on, before the Bulls were deducted points, and I argued here that to punish new owners for the actions of the old ones was idiotic, and the only reason we saw support for it was because of bitter people jealous of the bulls success needing to see someone, anyone pay a price for that success. That they wanted to see Bradford brought down in a pique of tall poppy syndrome, that they were simply after retribution against Bradford for having the gall to be successful and people said no no RL fans arent like that....................

its been an infinite amount of years since anyone outside SL were near to were Bradford were.

Bradford Pedigree????

The recorded ancestry or lineage of a person or family:

The ancestry of the current Bulls goes back less than a year. As FA and AB have told us all there is no such thing as a club, just the current business.

Bradford Northern/Bulls have very little in the way of Pedigree or history, that does not end up in insolvency.

The arrogance of some to dismiss other clubs outside of SL is astounding. Bradford itself is becoming more and more a feeder/satellite town for Leeds.

Other much smaller towns such as St Helens, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes have long pedigrees in the game and have had their ups and downs. But at least they don't whine about having some right to be in SL.

If I've told you once I've told you a million times - Don't exaggerate!

I must have dreamed Huddersfield finishing top last year. Or Hull winning the challenge cup etc etc.

Is your money worth more than that guys money? Does your pound pay for more players, youth development officers or facilities than his pound?

You may want to define yourself as a 'true supporter' you may wish to differentiate yourself from the 'glory supporter' and 'the new generation' But the bank manager doesn't give a fsk.

You keep thinking you are better than other fans, keep thinking the club wants your money more than the other guys, keep wearing your 'true supporter' cap. It marks you out to the rest of us as 'one of those'.

There is so much wrong with than comparison i dont even know where to start.
