| Gives me no pleasure at all to be the team to relegate the Bulls.
However, that can also be said about our performances at the moment. The players should be embarrassed by the first half performance in particular.
Questions now really to be asked and answered. Things just aren't right within the club. Jerry and Leroy didn't look happy with each other, Brough spat the dummy out again, Mullally was more or less begging to be given a second stint - and that's before you start talking about the lack of execution of basic skills.
Normally with a 50 point win I'd be looking forward to the next game, but I can honestly say I'm not!

| Not great again but I must have missed Brough spotting his dummy and Cudjoe and Mcgillivary arguing especially after Leroy handed him two tries on a plate.

| this "friction" towards bradford thing, goes back to when they were top dogs and we were a crappy little team with no fans.
a lot of people still remember the things that were said,not just from bulls fans but from their chairman.
ironic thing is that despite claims that "shouldn't be anywhere near super league and how we are a disgraceand we are only in SL because of ken davy's money" how those bulls fans were wishing ken davy was their chairman instead of caisley?
like we have said, we took some hammer on and off the field from the bulls enough times, how fitting then they lost their super league lives at a crap little disgrace of a club who just have been kicked out of the league for good
now that karma has done it's thing i wish the real proper decent bulls fans well

| I was appalled by the applause given to Bradford as they left the pitch. I had to remind/tell people about the buses and raffle tickets. Have we ever been applauded off the pitch anywhere??? I kept telling people to stop! Disgusted.

You've obviously never visited Odsal then because away teams (except Rhinos) are always applauded off the pitch by those on the popular terrace.
Everything you've said is what is wrong with the game.
After working in Huddersfield for many years throughout Bulls glory period I'm truly disgusted by some of the comments I've heard. However, I know this is a minority and many Giants fans I know personally have said some kind words as have some on here.
So thank you to all those who have wished us well, good luck for the rest of the season (and next) and hopefully see you soon in the not too distant future.

| there are good and bad on every side, like i said i have no ill feeling towards the current regime( whoever they are) at bradford, no ill feeling towards the long standing fans ( pre 1997)
but people have to remember that a lot of people representing bradford bulls and some of the things they did left a bitter taste for some of our long standing fans.
yesterday was our payback,it's just a shame that the same people weren't around to witness it.
i am fairly sure the people who were there yesterday are all good genuine supporters and for their sake i wish them well, the rest can do one for me.

| I applauded the Bradford fans yesterday! Because it's days like that when you have got the pure and true fans there and tbh I had a lump in my throat when they all stood up singing Bradford till I die!
I do however realise that we got a lot of rubbish from their fans and their club when we were struggling. I know two wrongs don't make a right but what goes around comes around

I disagree Ivor.I applauded the Bulls for not giving in even though as players they have been badly let down by consecutive teams of bad management.As players the Bulls have in my opinion shown the kind of people they are true Rugby League players.

I think you're absolutely right, all sides can identify that there is an element of fans who let them down and Bradford is no different. I think the main issue is that many Bulls fans were just that, Bulls fans. We built a fan base up from 4,000 in pre-super league days to 16,000 in about 3yrs so there was always bound to be an element of glory hunters.
That said, not all SL Bulls newcomers are glory supporters, many have stuck with the club through the recent lean years and will no doubt continue to do so. Its us that is left with this sorry mess and we face the abuse that comes with it.
Everything happens in cycles and relegation/playing in Championship has done no harm to Huddersfield, Castleford, Widnes or Hull KR recently and I hope the bulls will be up in the top flight sooner rather than later/never.
Like I said earlier, most Bulls fans have/will wish any harm on any RL club. Banter will always play part in our game but in all honesty, good luck until such a time we can lock horns again.

| Whoever did the hanging bully - that was superb, even Bradford fans walking behind us were amused by it !!!!
As for relegating them, yes i took pleasure from it but i can because i had to put up with the crap from the Bulls lot in the past, from those who use to goad us on the 363 back to Huddersfield and those wanted our chairman to die once we started to overtake them, and those that wished our club would go bust so we would f*** off back to the lower leagues where we belonged (including members of these forums too !!) and those who thought it was ok to punch Giants fans who laughed at their 'razzmatazz' etc etc, so yeah some people may be sympathetic to this once big club who were the trailblazers for Super League etc but just remember,a lot of us had to put up with a hell of a lot of abuse, stick etc from Bradford fans, we took it because 1, we had to and 2, we knew times would change, they have and now its come full circle and its their club going through what they wished for ours -for those people, if there are any left, i hope you enjoy it and if you don't well tough !!!
for the decent, genuine Bulls fans, who were there before and who have stayed loyal - Good luck, enjoy some new grounds and new people next year and hope your club comes back better for this like ours did !!

| Bulls fans applauding the Giants off the pitch at odsal give over, plenty of bulls fans cant stand the Giants and its goes both ways
enjoy the trips to batley and halifax next season... we know how it feels to be relegated.
