| Sandal Cat called it! Procedures, Procedures, Procedures! That's the line that's been trotted out wrongly by numerous Bulls fans. It was always about points and Green has done himself and his club a disservice by suggesting it was about the integrity of the sport.
Quote: "All Marc Green is doing in my opinion is keeping the option open of a High Court action. As weeks go by he will review his position and if the situation is such that 6 points back will make no difference to them he will simply withdraw the action. If at the end of the season the points deduction have made a difference he will pursue the case.
It's simple if we win a few more games it all becomes irrelevant.'"
Quote: "It's just bravado from Green who knows the Bulls won't get within 6 points of us or another team. He'll wait 4-6 weeks by which the league will confirm Bradford's relegation and also that they can't get within the 6 deducted points. Then Green will discontinue the case but in doing so has sent a message to the RFL that he isn't afraid to take them on.'"
Quote: "At the same time look like the biggest Delbert in the game. I'll be the first to laugh in his arrogant face!'"

| It was always about the points. Anything else was just hit and hope.

| He gets the Bulls for next to nothing and gets his money back (it's in his power to determine which debts to settle). Given the extent of his moaning, I have questioned whether it was Super League or bust.
There is an assumption on the Bulls board that they will bounce right back. I'm not so convinced. A lot of hungry established sides in the Championship and the current top twelve in the top flight will be a tough nut to crack.
For me, this ridiculous new format is akin to when Super League first started out, when we used to play Aussie teams. A few seasons of drubbings may make them rethink.
And for all the concern of yo-yo teams under one-up, one-down, that isn't really borne out by the evidence, and it certainly made the Championship grand final mean something.
If they go back to that, the Bulls could be in the wilderness for a few years. How long will Marc Green last then?
Will I miss them? Not really. I hate Odsal, by far the worst ground in rugby league, and I won't miss going. Will the game miss them? Yes, of course, they were a draw and drew in big numbers.

Bullmania pretty much died around 2008/2009. Since then they have been no more an asset than anyone else in Super League. Whenever I get into discussions about sport with people on my travels, at the mention of me coming from Wakefield I'm more often than not asked if I'm a Rugby League fan. I've never heard Bradford Bulls mentioned once, it's mainly Wigan who these people are mostly aware of.

| They're still getting more than us this year, and on a good run can easily get a five-figure crowd. Huddersfield couldn't even do that when they were winning the league.

| It'll be interesting to see what happens at Odsal next season. When Cas went down both times they were still getting big crowds, not that dissimilar to their Super League crowds. I can't see the Wooly Bully brigade sticking it out.

| Wasn't Bradford's season passes cheaper than Wakefield's in the Glover era ? Or have I got that wrong ? One things for certain, cheap rugby league always adds an extra few thousand onto the hardcore fans.

Championship rugby isn't cheap now.£17 at Fev,never mind when the Bulls have got higher than average player wages next season.

I would seriously question that, when they have been on TV the place has looked empty.
I think its like everything at the Bulls, their sheer arrogance will not accept their crowds are
down. Anyone can say there is more in the stadium than there actually is by using the Elston method
of counting.
