Indeed, Leeds come closest but, none quite get there.
Some are further away than others

I think because people on here including us both warned arrogant and delusional Bulls fans on here what would happen feel vindicated. However as you say we shouldn't confuse the action of individuals with the club as a whole - we know that better than most.

I really think a lot of fans don't realise how small our game is. In football if a premiership team goes pop then imho at least thirty teams have the potential to replace them. Outside SL at the moment there are possibly three teams that could give SL a crack and one of those represents a street in Wakefield!

People may believe that these clubs can be replaced by expansion clubs like Toronto - personally I don't give that club a snowballs chance in hell. If as a game we can't keep it alive in Bradford then seriously what chance at all in virgin territory.

We can't afford to abandon Bradford because there is no alternative and SL will shrink even more than the pathetic 12 teams it just about has. Bradford is a city and when run well the club gets city sized gates and we need that.

There needs to be a rescue package but it has to be transparent and fair to the rest of the game and must involve Bradford starting again with no assistance where promotion to SL is concerned.

Mabel just about sums it up for me as well.

Mable ,blm im with you boys

There are a few arrogant tools from Bradford but you have to feel for the decent fans, we have been here more than most so know what they are going through. I wish them all the luck in the world, it's fine teams getting relegated but as a sport we are not big enough to have 2 of our best supported clubs languishing in the lower leagues.

Never forget about 8 years ago this bulls fan came up to me and said our average gate is 11,000 and yours is 2 ,he laughs last laughs the longest ,bye bye bulls

Were you really old enough to watch them 8 years ago.
It's not hard to see why Vasty loses his patience with you

Just give us another couple of years.

Happy new year in advance to you all.

And that "Bulls fan" won't be one of the 2 thousand who have stuck with them in their time of need.

Aye but whose fault is that?

Indeed and for every one like that there will probably be a 100 decent fans.
Bradford were arrogant when they were at the top of the pile, just as Wigan fans often are now and Leeds fans used to be (before their reality check of last season) but, lets face it, we all start to follow a club, sometimes on a whim or, because we've gone to a game with friends etc and some stick with that club through thick and thin or, thin and thinner in our case.

In Bradfords circumstances, the rivalry stuff is just unnecessary.

They are in the mire (again) and may come through the other side but, those wanting them to disappear or drop even lower should have a quick look in the mirror.
Our plight wasn't exactly any better until MC steadied the ship.

Personally, I think that we should show a bit more class and wish them well

Dickie,8 years ago I was 43 think about it and vastman well eh...
