I'm sure they did .

Good call forgot about MM I'd guess that would have to stand as there would be no real option to do anything else.

If the administrator can't find a buyer, then a liquidator would have to be appointed at which all contracts of employment, from players down to the woman who does the boardroom teas on matchdays, are void. As Roy Close discovered in 1984 when he found that he'd coughed up £25k for some goalposts and a couple of hampers of kit from the original Fulham club's liquidator after Ronnie Teeman at Bramley, who'd been in similar strife earlier, had said that he'd get the players as well (atmosphere a tad frosty in the boardroom when we next played them!).

NL2? Do you mean CC1? It's good to see SL fans up to speed with whats going on in the dead zone.

Maybe they will do a Wigan and 'tell' the RFL what is acceptable to them.

Pints deductions in a closed shop league are irrelevant, you could take 10,000 points off them and it would have zero effect. The only thing that will hit hard is relegation.

The RFL will let us know what the regulations are after they make the decision they want.

I can't see them undermining the Magic Weekend by making this season's event meaningless. Who can guarantee that another club will not go bust next year? And all the clubs that won their games will kick up an almighty fuss.

The sensible thing would have been to have announced before the MW (when the Bulls problems were well known) that the result from that game would stand as far as Leeds are concerned.

Then you are going to have a team just 'given' 2 points as there is no opposition as far as the league is concerned.

No. OTOH you do have a hugely subsidised team. HTH.

Cant see another way round it. And 7 of the remaining 13 clubs won 2 points that weekend that they will be loath to surrender

That would have worked if the fans (including admittedly many non Bradford fans) hadnt just forked out an extra £500k. Not sure how many will put their hands in their pockets a 2nd time

Tough.
You cannot have a team with 2 comp points won against a team that does not exist in the league.
As an example Hull FC lost in Manchester so they have got to accept that they don't get 2 free comp points but Leeds do?

Another 'hypothetical' scenario for all you SL goers.

Lets say that the Bulls cease to exist, and are not in a position to start 2013, many think that the RFL will look at replacing them with lets say.... Halifax (i for one dont think they will look to fill the void).

but as we all know the RFL are an unpredicatable creature at the best of times!

now from my point of view Halifax wouldnt be ready for SL(like all current Champ clubs atm, oh yeah!! and Widnes)

But if the unthinkable was to happen, and Fax were installed in SL2013, then who would compensate the teams left in the Championship?

Halifax have biggest away following in the championship, and i would say take close to 600 fans to most away games. Quick maths that is roughly £12 per head entry = £7,200.

Plus any money that is spent through food/drinks on game days, lets say another £1000.

Just by Halifax not been in the Championship next year Championship clubs would loose out on that income each, £8-9000 a year is alot for a Ch club!

times that by all the away fixtures that Fax would (hypothetically) have fullfilled and you'll be over £100,000 that the Championship as a whole would loose out on - if Fax were moved up of course! who would foot this loss??!!

i like this hypothetical stuff! gets ya brain going!
