If Wayne Rooney does move to Chelsea maybe he could be persuaded to chuck in a couple of weeks' wages? He is reputed to be a RL supporter.

Wakefield is not looking much better! and perhaps your own club, the RFL saved Bradford and have now set a precedent, they can't just cherry pick!

Bit of a problem with timing here; disappearing in the close season won't cause too many problems for the RFL, at least not compared to ceasing trading 4 or 5 games into the season, with the subsequent threat of fixture chaos, points deductions, and greater media interest. Not that I want to cause trouble...

They can, they always have.

The RFL could afford to buy Odsal. Bradford can afford to pay the rent on their own. That made it viable.

Had Bradford property values been higher then the RFL couldn't afford it. Or if Bradford weren't a relatively well supported side then they couldn't pay the rent. In which case the RFL would have shrugged their shoulders.

Red Bull would be the perfect sponsor.

Sadly you are right! Glad that you said "relatively well supported" like many clubs their attendances have seriously dropped!

The RFL have very little money now, it's not possible when you can't bring in big major financial sponsors, but so many supporters, bury their heads in the sand!
