Isn't that Bradford, Sheffield & York gone to the wall since last season ?

Feel for the fans and ex-players who sacrificed personal stuff to keep the club going. For heavens sake they were a pioneer of the early SL offering a fantastic spectacle with great crowds.
Desperate state of affairs over there.
In a previous crisis didn't the RFL buy the ground or something to contribute/help in some way. Whatever happened to that investment?
Hopefully not an example of the business acumen at the RFL How has it been able allowed to get into this state ?
I hope they can find a long lost relative from the Yorkshire side of Mr. Moran's family and get them sorted out. RL would be so much better with a strong Bradford club getting 15k + crowds again.

Its this that bothers me, back in the day when Bradford were the dominant team and winning superleague and having massive crowds were did all the money go???

I'd have Omari Caro like a shot. Extremely fast winger, tremendous scoring record, English and only 25.

In other words, considerably more qualified to play wing than any of our current incumbents.

It'll never happen.

In terms of the Bulls sad decline, their demise is unquestionable confirmation of one truth - most people tasked with the job of "running" so-called professional RL clubs are not fit to run a car boot sale.

Twenty years since the inception of SL and most of our clubs, and more importantly the [ifinancial aspects[/i of those clubs, are still run by RL dinosaurs and small-time business-men who could just about cope in the pre-SL days of prehistoric stadia, local sponsors, back of a fag packet contracts and budget and forecasts scribbled on post-it notes. They then surfed the SL wave and have floundered when the gravy train hit the buffers, and taken their clubs and speccies down with them.

I said many years ago that the RFL should introduce a rule that all SL clubs finances have to be audited by an independent third party annually, with the threat of sanctions in the event of any irregularities or malpractice. It's no good crying "shame!" when a financial black hole the size of Odsal appears and the HMRC are on the phone, the clubs need protecting from themselves.

Sounds like some winger we picked up a couple of years ago from Rochdale. Kevin something I think his name is. I reckon he was about 25 a couple of years ago.

Yes, they made a real mess. The rot was accelerated by their stupid dispute with Leeds over Iestyn Harris which must have cost them a fortune to settle. It gives me no joy to recall being 'lectured' on these boards by a Bulls supporter in their heyday, who insisted that 'The People's Club' was in a different place from other sides whose popularity was based on success, thus ensuring that Bradford would enjoy bumper crowds for eternity. I'm happy that a Bradford club appears to be likely for 2017, but not for the exisiting club's creditors who look like being stuffed.

This is spot on,the people that caused the demise should be held accountable, in their pomp they must of been raking it in and as I see it helping themselves to the honey pot,I maybe wrong but that's how I see it. By the way I'm not talking about the current people that have been running the club, all this would of started with the people in charge when the club were doing well.

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8.jpg

That might have been me. And let that be a lesson to you! 4.64306640625:5
