| Feel sorry for the fans who put all the pledge money up, just to be rewarded by more bad management of the club.
Hopefully the bulls will get a buyer and stay in superleague.

You don't suppose its c*s do you? Duringthe Wigan v Widnes match last night. I heardEddie Hemmings mentioning about c*s hsving some "off field traumas" while promoting next Monday's live Sky match between c*s and Widnes.

 not easy to watch your club just go by the way side but we had been in this situation before.
many fans saw through the administration and was willing to start the club again from bare bones playing on the local park with no stadium at all,that is the difference and the gamble paid off.
The Bulls fans didn't see that and expected everything to be rosy afterwards
I'm afraid Bradford after selling off its players will have jack**** and this is all down to the RFL plonker that gave the ok to buy the stadium off them to keep them in the top eight

TBF I suspect there are several clubs teetering on the brink. The whole sport is in a complete mess. I suspect the image rights taxation issue has pushed many clubs towards insolvency, combined with lower gate receipts and declining sponsership revenue. The whole structure needs looking at - perhaps reduce the cap, a more rigorous examination of each club's business plans, dare I mention the "M" word?

| Feel sorry for the fans who were gullible enough to pledge the £500k despite our warnings that all they were doing was allowing the Directors who had got them into the mess to absolve themselves of thier personal guarantees and that Administration was inevitable.
It will be interesting to see how the RL community view this now because I felt that we got very little sympathy except from Tony Smith, and I'm sure there were some that were actually pleased.
As I say feel sorry for the fans but not the people who ran the Club into the mess.

| If Bulls were liquidated would the quota players be exempt from quota rules like they did with Crusaders? They may do this until end of season as doing it longer wouldn't help if bringing in a championship team as players left over would be worse than what Widnes have this season.

the difference was we was ready to start it from the beginning again
as it was the Trust wasn't needed to help take over but it has proven to be a good connect to the club
without you and many others it could of been another story

'"
The RFL didn’t buy the lease off them for that reason though.
Bradford had borrowed some money, as clubs do from time to time, however, they failed to repay any of it, so the RFL realising they were around £400k down & Bradford were in the mire gave them some more cash, but, in exchange Bradford gave them the lease to the stadium.
Unfortunately, the RFL spun everyone a yarn saying they’d done this to stop a predatory approach for the ‘Iconic’ stadium  .
