=#0040FFAbsolutely, and I think one of the biggest problems is you have some of the biggest names in the British game pushing this campaign on Twitter and Facebook as well as selling things on eBay and people are rallying behind them in the name of the "rugby league family". It's understandable that the likes of Jarrod Sammut and other Bulls players are wanting people to help because it's a matter of their job to them but perhaps people need to think about what good their money is going to do for the club by handing it over to their current owners.

The people in charge at the Bulls must be laughing at how much they've managed to raise already (in pledges of course). They could come out of this without having to face up to the situation they have found themselves in and it will mostly have been paid for by the general public.

As said before, Bradford Bulls are not a charity to the best of my knowledge and with that said I hope Sky Sports don't allow this weekends MOTM winners to nominate their £100 to be given to a business.

Where was Peacock and everyone else when the likes of Blackpool, Bramley and Oldham suffered. Nowhere to be seen.

Exactly. Its a tad nauseating isnt it?

Makes me want to vomit, I'm guessing oconner has pledged 10k real using they don't have a chance of making therefore his money is safe but no doubt if he does have to stump up it will be some kind of tax dodge so will not end up costing that much anyway.

Or he'll get it back thru the turnstiles if the bradford masses choose to go and say thank you

The general public will end up footing the bill whatever happens. At least this way, a decent percentage of the money will be raised by the Bradford rugby league-supporting general public, rather than the general tax payer, or local businesses that are owed money.

Let's be honest, if they can raise the cash, it's a better solution for the general public than if they can't. I completely agree with you, however, when it comes to all the bleeding heart stuff simply because this is Bradford, especially when other clubs in similar situations in the past have simply met with scorn and contempt. Totally nauseating.

=#0040FFWho is actually owed money by the Bulls? Isn't the problem that they owe the RFL money and are unable to pay that as well as the fact that the bank has withdrawn their overdraft facility meaning they can't afford to pay wages and suchlike? The RFL now own Odsal so surely they could recoup money from selling that on if the worst was to happen?

IIRC the RFL DON'T own Odsal...as was posted on here at the time, the RFL have taken over the lease for Odsal, so therefore would not be able to sell the ground if it all goes belly-up !!

I believe they paid their 700k loan from the RFL back with the sale of the lease on odsal. Theres a rather large image rights bill from the HMRC thats causing the concern by the sounds of it.

I was thinking more about the money owed to the tax man, tbh. Maybe they have no outstanding bills to pay to local businesses - that was just projecting our own situation in the recent past on to them. I certainly hope they don't.
