Quote: PopTart "I just can't see that. I don't think Wakefield had the foresight to try and sell the stadium to the RFL.
That's where I think some who don't like what is happening to Bradford get it confused with what happened to Wakefield.

To me it's like doing the same job as someone being paid more than you.
Who's fault is that?
Some would say the company for not levelling the pay but at the end of the day if they asked for more and you didn't it's up to you to resolve it, maybe the company to resolve if they want to keep you happy but it certainly isn't the other guy's fault no matter how much it irritates you.'"


Of course it not their fault (although they have to take some blame for getting in that situation). The problem is the RFLs double standards, is that not clear? We didn't get the RFL to buy into us because it clearly wasn't an option, if it was we would have (rather than admin and what looked like certain relegation at the time). The RFL having a stake in the Bulls is a massive conflict of interest and no clubs were consulted or voted for them circumstances. I really don't know how people can justify the double standards. Maybe im a bit old fashioned for valuing fair play in a sporting competition. Thats what I value and that's what I'll continue to value, its getting close to the point that I'll just keep my money in my pocket and not contribute to this charade. For now my emotional investment in Wakefield is still strong enough for me to stick around.

Im with you Pop Tart.

To be honest I couldnt give a monkeys what Bradford have had, not had etc. I hope they get through whatever it is they need to get through and come out the other side. I have dealt with a couple of pre packs and am aware that a high percentage fail and they will have there work cut out trying to establish credit lines for all there needs. I wish them luck.

People talk about us been hard done to, but just think of all the clubs that have been locked out of the top flight for the last however long whilst watching us go from one financial disaster to another, I dont think it would have taken much for the RFL to get shut if they really really wanted to.

Lets just get on with the job of staying in the league and let others look after themselves.

eusa_clap.gif Agree, we need to concentrate all our energies on staying up and running our own club well. We've had our own issues and our long term sustainability is our priority, what others do or don't do is up to them.

They send letters to the RFL about how hard done to they are?

Any response from this letter? Or has it been filed with the ‘Ashley klein is really mean to us’ petition?

Aren't you busy enough annoying people on the VT without coming on this board and doing it?

Quote: deeHell "Thats another injustice that you've pointed out. That 78k yearly rent is more than half what we pay to rent BV. Yet Odsal is by far a bigger wealth generator, double the capacity (quadruple at the moment) and double the size corporate facilities. I'm no expert but I know enough to know that the rent is not marked to market.

If such a purchase is good business for the RFL why did they not purchase BV as an on going investment? You see the double standards been applied?'"


They didn't purchase BV as RFL knew they could get a lot more money from Odsal from landfill companies.

There's no over-reaction here, merely a request for an explanation of the application of the rules and regulations involved here.

We have had a receipt noting that the matter will be dealt with by Blake Solly, who appears a reasonable sort. We will see what comes back.

Quote: Adeybull "Nah mate. Straw man again. You know full well I am not commenting on anyone's "worthiness". I am expressing my disappointment at the loud voices who will not debate, will not consider anyone else's POV, support their POV with opinion or misinformation rather than back it up with actual facts, and go [iad hominem[/i and resort to derision when the other guy won't just roll over and accept they are 100% right but tries reasoned argument. As we can see immediately above.

Don't worry TRB, I've gone now. Waste of time attempting reasoned debate on here, as always, but I thought it might be worth another shot nevertheless.'"


Reasoned argument suggests a willingness to listen to the other side. I have yet to see a single word from you which accepts this premis.

I believe the RFL are right to keep Bradford in SL, but that a points deduction is essential in order for fair play to have been seen to be done. That is all.

The letter was written on behalf of the Supporters Trust. We believe that we were correct in our comments, albeit it doesn't give us any great satisfaction to see a club in this position, but we believe the points raised have been considered, whether down to us or not.

What we need now is people to support the Trust. We are carrying out important work on behalf of our club and we need numbers and money from membership. Please back us!
