No they didn't go bust. If Carter hadn't signed his own home over as collateral they would have done. But they didn't.

Nor did they get the rattling buckets out to fleece the fans and ex-players of cash, medals, and memorabilia (before pocketing the money to re-pay directors loans, instead of paying off creditors).

There isn't a club in the league that will take financial advice from Bulls. Your credit is zero.

Ha ha ha

You should look up what a CVA is first. it’s really nothing to be proud of. A contract to make instalment payments to HMRC for what part of the debt the club could afford is not an achievement.

Only a Wakefield fan could turn a post about a reality TV show into an attempt to spin them running up a massive bill with the tax man being a credit to the league!

I know what a CVA is.

What it isn't, is going bust.

Only a Bulls fan could turn a post about a player who found fame, fortune and success in the NRL, into a post about the Bulls.

I take back what I said about Wakefield only going into a CVA the second time. According to companies house it was actually in 2000. In 2011 they went into administration and were dissolved in 2013. The current company buying that club off the administrator.

My comment was actually a jokey one about him being a Bradford academy product. Sorry to point that out but your memory is clearly not great.

Winning - unlike the great British tax payer

Under the terms of the CVA, Wakefield paid HMRC in full.

Bulls still owe tens, if not hundreds of £1000s to a number of businesses, many of them small Bradford businesses.

The old company owning Trinity was dissolved when Spirit of 1873 bought the club. They weren't bankrupt, they ceased to trade having sold their one and only asset/business concern.

I'm sure they would have gone bust, if Mr Carter hadn't bought the club...but they didn't.

You are right. I shouldn't have been so chippy about your comment. My irritation added nothing.

Apologies.

I still say it was the 21 games for Bath and the 5 games wearing the rose

Rumour has it in true Bradford style he was begging, sorry doing a bucket collection as soon as the series finished

I also apologise. My comments about Wakefield were out of order.

Back on topic. There have been a few examples of rugby league players taking the p on reality TV shows. Thinking of Martin Offiah on Gladiators, Clive Sullivan on Superstars and Scott Moore on Police interceptors.
