The weak conform, the strong survive.: |
|
| What happens if they lose their franchise in 2015 due to the ground not meeting the criteria?
Will the RFL have a word with itself and come to some agreement??

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

John, you mean imploded, like not having anywhere to play?

Yes just like that, or practically giving season tickets away which isn't paying the bills.

Warrington vs Halifax, Challenge Cup Final replay. Was the world record rugby attendance until about 10 years ago when the NRL got a double header in at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney before the capacity was reduced.

| Surely this is a conflict of interest for the RFL ,or in simple terms does this mean Bradford are exempt from ever having to apply for a franchise ?
Unless of course they fall behind in paying the rent .

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| I've not read anything else about this, but is the idea to have our own stadium for playing major games in?
If so, then the RFL should be applauded on a bit of forward thinking for once, not only do we now have a secure ground where we can play major matches which is central to the sports heartland, but they will also get financial input from the Bulls paying rent. Win/win to my mind as they are no longer held to the whims of Old Traffords staff?
If not, what the hell are they playing at?
or should I just go and read something about the subject before spouting off?
