Not sure I should comment for fear of upsetting the more fair minded of you on here,but I do have a bit of a smile on my face,although I do have sympathy for the backroom staff who face losing there jobs and hope they find alternative employment quickly,no doubt it will be them that are shown the door first and not the people who got the Dulls in this position in the first place.

loser

I agree I feel sorry for the staff there ... but I'm sure the powers that be have already sorted out a way that they'll get a 4 point deduction, and manage to keep hold of all their players, Get told how they were the inventors of razamatazz in Rugby League and should be saved at all costs.
BITTER ? ME ? NEVER !!!!! just detest them with a passion. Caisley I hope you get the guts ripped out of your club

We didnt fit into the super league plans beacuse of Caisley and Maurice Lyndseys ideas about our 'gloryfied village'. In fact i seem to remeber a quote where Caisley said 'featherstone should not be mentioned in the same breath as bradford' something along those lines. I was young when cougars were refused entry into SL, but i will never forget that year, we have been held in contempt by super league and in particular Bradford Bulls/Northern/Caisley. He hated what keighley started with Cougarmania, he thought is was wrong for rugby league. He then stole the ideas and shut the door.

I hate Bradford Bulls, not the staff, not the players, but the club itslef and directors. I could not care less and will sleep soundly tonight knowing their ship has sank a little bit. But dont worry Bulls you will remain in SL and will start afresh with a 4 point deduction, just like Wakefield. However Im sure you are feeling the same as we did in 1995, albeit you will remain in the top flight.

you can keep your super league place, being party to the most poorly managed, finacially broke and tired sports league in the country is not something I relish. i yearn for the days of keighley vs bradford, hopefully the RFl see through your SL applictaion in 2014 and chuck you in with us.

WELL SAID 'THIS_COUGAR_OUTFIT'

Karma's a bitch.

Well said Barbie Girl!!!

Brought a little smile to face did that.

I have sympathy for their genuine fans, the hardcore, the volunteers. We Keighley fans been through this twice ourselves.

For all those glory hunters from Keighley and other Rugby League towns that surround Br*dford that were suckered in when the B*lls came in to our towns and lured them away with the chance of seeing top flight rugby in a locked out league I'm kind of glad, now you know how we've felt for the last 15 years. Instead of glory you've got the gutter.

Looking at the bigger picture it's bad for the game of Rugby League if we don't have a team from one of the biggest cities in the heartland. Still I'd love for them to be booted out of Super League, there's just one problem, there's a precidence and unfortunately it's us. When we beat Oldham in that epic Grand Final 2 and a half years ago, we went in to administration and weren't denied promotion. With hindsight we didn't deserve to go up seeing as though we built a team with money we didn't have.

Still we can live in hope that this time next year we're taking them on at Cougar Park in the Championship as equals and we put 60 past them.

The medicine may be harsh but the patient requires it.

Sometimes it is best to hold a dignified silence!

Dignified Silence ????

Nah , they say 'laughter is the best medicine'

And to be honest I nearly wet myself because I laughed so much ......

<------- See , That's me laughing when I read that link.

Only way Bulls will be able to stay in superleague in my view is if bought withing the next ten days otherwise it becomes like the Rangers situation in that the spl clubs have refused to have the new company back in top division even though financially it would affect them.

I fail to see how the rfl and those who issue licences were not aware of problems but then again they did same with Crusaders, what would a reformed Bulls bring to superleague I feel very little.

This Cougar Outfits post was excellent.

Automatic promotion & relegation is essential for the revival of Rugby League here - even if only one-up/one-down. It hasn't done soccer and the Premier League any harm. Not against some reasonable amount of the SKY money going to the relegated club as a parachute payment.

By the way - going into Administration should also mean automatic relegation to the league below for the next season - such clubs obviously can't run their affairs well enough to afford to stay in the league they are in.

Once the carrot/prospect of automatic promotion/relegation is there, the whole game is reinvigorated.

Cor blimey.... would you Adam and believe it?

Bless me Father for I have sinned... it is at least 3 years since my last post, but thank you for at last answering my prayers.
