Sorry, but what a disgrace.

Does this mean that 13 SL clubs will own a share of a Championship 1 club if they are 'relegated'? OR have SL [E] been given assurances that BB will stay in SL?

Was such an offer made back in the 80s and 90s when THE most famous club in RL was in danger of going under?

Shout me down if you like, but this stinks!

Would expect Bulls to see out 2012 and then drop to the championship in 2013. RFL always said they would get bulls through this season.

Expect a 13 team comp in 2013 unless another club opts to take the drop.

No disrespect, but compared to the RFL & SL[E] you're extremely normal. What you expect and what those two clownish organisations will do are totally different.

very strange indeed

but then the rfl havent got a clue, just look at the recent sponsorship farce with stobart!

oh dear oh dear oh dear !

Disgraceful.

But hardly surprising.

Have a neckful of the shambles running the game. It's corrupt from top to bottom, where was the help for Crusaders, Wakefield, Blackpool or as Ivor rightly says us back in the 80's-90's?

No other club in the land is owed more by the RFL than the birthplace and they washed their hands of us!!

So what's to stop any other club spending stupid amounts of money chasing the dream knowing the RFL and SL will be there to bail em out?

Mind you certain clubs such as Cas, Wakey, Salford, Widnes and us would be allowed to disappear.

Stinks to high heaven and the nasty smell is coming from Redhall

Seems sensible to me. Looks like the RFL is taking some responsibility for the sport at last. Far, far better than the club going under IMHO.

Have to agree with Ivor & Prop.

No-one rattled a stick in a s****pail for us when we were going under.

Why should the Bulls be a special case? They're in this mess because they bought their titles & couldn't settle the bill.

But now every other SL club is picking up their bar bill. The chequebook champs get a free pass.

One rule for the Bulls, another for everyone else.

If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

The past is irreleveant to the future apart from as a learning tool. If it wasn't we'd all be sat in ditches pushing berries up our noses.

It's their fans I feel sorry for.

No sarcasm at all. Poor do all round for them.

i think it stinks too......why should the RFL or SLE whatever you want to call it bail them out because they chose not to look after their money......absolutely disgraceful decision in my opinion, They should have been made an example of not treated like some cherised wonderful star pupil !

its just so worng, but if we own a part share in the bulls can we use our share of bateman in this weekends game

Not sure they are bailing them out. We don't know how much money has been offered. Likely to be peanuts.

This way the administrator does not pull the plug and have the team finish with several games to go and even more people being unpaid.

Instead the season gets completed. Players and some others have a month and a half to find new emplyers.

The rfl can look for smaller scale investors (maybe supporters groups) who are able to support a championship or champ 1 side. This keeps a pro RL team in bradford which is great for supporters esp the people who raised £500K.

With 13 SL teams there is more £ for the remaining sides.
