withheld from you??.........did'nt they advance you next years sky money to get you through last season?? or have i got that wrong?

You've got it wrong. The money advanced was the remaining 2012 sky payments plus a small amount from 2013. Certainly not the 650k being held back next year or the 600k being held back the following year.

ah ok ta

You have concrete evidence of this?

So lets get this straight, you are suggesting the RFL , Loaned you several hundred thousand pounds, bought the lease for you stadium, all to keep you playing through a season, then ' fine ' you?



They bailed you with next years money, you pay it back ( or dont recieve it ) over two years

You have concrete evidence of this?

Difference is your landlord has you over a barrel. There isn't another stadium you can go play at if you don't pay what they want, unless you go to oakwell or, gods forbid, go to cas. We can play at VP for same rent we pay at odsal. Market rate is set by the local market. What your having to pay is pretty irrelevant.

So you are suggesting that the RFL have FINED you 1.25 million pounds ?

No , I'm making a fairly logical assumption that the RFL are not going to fine a club that has had considerable financial problems 1.25 million pounds

Stupid they are , but not that stupid

Yes you can , but you would lose several times more the rental amount in lost revenue , you have no more choice of where to play than wakey , but you are however getting a very good deal from the RFL

Bradford Bulls = RFLs pet puppy

Think a lot of people will disagree with that statement.

Simple fact is we don't know what the reasoning for withholding the sky monies is as RFL have never made any statement. But it isn't for monies advanced as the sums just don't add up. Remaining sky money due in 2012 was pretty much same as amount needed to cover the 2-3 wage bills that RFL advanced us money to cover during the administration. They certainly didn't advance us another 1.2million on top of that.
