Thought the RL had bought Odsal to avoid this?

Does this mean that the RL is in financial difficulties?

I Suspect, reading the article, it means that the RFL took Odsal in Lieu of a debt owed by the Bulls.

I think it is terrible that when things like that can go so badly wrong at a big club.

Where has all the money gone

Bloody Iestyn Harris !!
i knew something was wrong years ago when the bouncy castle had gone and we had to pay to get in !.


Seriously though its never good when any club has this kind of trouble, hope they sort it out.

I hope they pull through, but this one made me chuckle.

I have just had a text from a so called loyal bull fan of many years stating " I wont give them 50 pence " He also blamed it on ganson.

looks like they are in a wakey situation. At least Richardson was offering ownership of the club. the bulls just seem to want the cash with no strings.

I am sure with 10000+ fans the money could be raised if the Bulls offer meaningful shares.

theres a couple of forwards worth offering a little bit of money for kopczak, whitehead, burgess, scruton, bateman

Cant stand bradford...drop them in to championship and let halifax in

only last week they gave whitehead a new deal?!

the rfl will most likely bail them out again...

feel sorry for sammut..crusaders and now this

but all will be ok, its just a cry for money... very much doubt they will go under

its abit like wakefield and castleford saying we will have a new stadium ready for the next franchise again..just so they get a franchise..

bradford a grade b license??!

Bloody expansion clubs. First crusaders, now Bradford

Maybe like Fax before then they'll have to offload their highly paid players to save money.

Nah, we only stick the boot into Wakey, plus Scruton is an awful player. A defensive liability going for big shots and either getting stepped or injuring himself. Kopczak is decent.

I'd possibly take Burgess and Whitehead but none of the others..............quite ironic i suppose after all those years of Bulls fans giving us gip about been held up by Ken and how we cant survive without him and they make their money by having large crowds and winning trophies etc....thing is the large crowds are still there but are paying very little to see them....maybe that has something to do with it...yes it looks good when they can still attract 10-11000 fans when they've been crap for a few years now but the club did that because they knew crowds were falling and didnt want to seem like all the 'glory hunters' had gone so offered cheap deals to keep the crowds respectable.

10,000 or whatever paying £60 a year looks good in the papers but not on the bank balances !!

The frightening thing is that all that season ticket money must have been spent! With more than two thirds of the season left they are skint.

It is a shambles and the RFL buying odsal now looks ever more murky.

As for player...bateman and whitehead are quality... possibly Koppy.

id have thought the RFL buying Odsal was a good piece of business, so when the club does fold it's main asset can not be sold to pay debts as the club does not own it. Odsal will still be there for the next Bradford team.... how about.... Bradford Northern?
