Looks like the RFL have confirmed that Bradford will have to undergo a mini-franchise competition to determine if they will complete the remainder of their three year license. Sportinglife.com assumes that Fev, Fax and Leigh will be the other contenders.
But what is the point of even bothering and wasting money that we desperately need? It is a fait accompli to start with!

But yeah you're right, Bradford OK Bulls would probably get 90% of the votes.  |

Far better to wait until the proper franchise bid comes along and we are up against 14 SL clubs instead of just one (and one that was only rescued on the basis that it would stay in SL)

Hopefully the Club will decline to enter this sham event. Tell the RFL Thanks but No Thanks... I also hope Fev and Fax don`t fall for the invite if the RFL go ahead with it.

If a team from the championship does get the go ahead IMO they will go bust or close

Why waste time effort and money on this mini franchise cr*p...........there`s only 1 winner and they are in SL at the mo, the RFL will just use it to make Bradford look better than the Championship clubs and justify their status despite their recent probs..................................TOTAL WASTE OF TIME IMO.

Will the mini-franchise comp be judged by a mini version of Nigel Wood? If not then it will have zero credibility.

We are already in the race. Blake Solly came to the club a few weeks ago and went through our business plan. It was confirmed by our CEO at the fans forum.

How could he have confirmed it when the info about this mini franchise lark has only just been released? |

| Taken from Chairman Keith Freer's statement last month
Quote: "The meeting that we had with Blake Solly of the RFL was very positive. Blake Solly now understands the unique working relationship that we have with LSV. If there is a mini franchise bid for the season 2013-2014 for Super League then we would certainly expect to be a primary candidate for that slot. Obviously there will be a high degree of pressure from Halifax. Obviously Featherstone will be banging on the drums but their ground facilities will certainly weaken their bid. '"

I personally don't think the ground will sway anything in a franchise run.
