Cannot help but think that the stink eminating from Red Hall at this moment must be particularly over-powering.

Unbelievable.

Makes it more ironic because some of the morons over there, were convinced the RFL wanted rid of them and haven't done a thing to help them, seriously couldn't make it up.

Well lets spend what we dont have to get silverware make season tickets the price of 3 games and if it goes belly up we will be saved.Oh I forgot dont happen if your Wakey or Widnes and if needed will this be offered to Salford who are near the edge at the moment cant see it some how.It says a lot to a club like Featherstone who are doing everything thats needed to become a team in the top league again or Halifax who like Fev are going about it the right way.Cant see any other thing than Glover and Ferres making it plain that should respective grounds not be ready at next franchise it wont go against them or that they get a bigger percentage of any money that is spread around the clubs or both.

Been reading interview by Gary Hetherington in which he says that the Bulls prosperity is more important than any financial loss by any of the clubs.Is he going to help us financially when we end up skint cos we have bailed out the Bulls?

So the Super League takes on all the debts and liabilities of a loss-making club? Bizarre.

I do wonder if there is a bigger agenda, in that the administrator is trying to off-load the club onto people the RFL don't want involved. This allows the Super League to be in charge of the selling and cuts out the administrator completely. There might be a much bigger picture involved which they cannot go public with.

I think that the RFL / SLE consider Bradford as to big to fail. I think they should just have let them go. The problem that the game has is that there are not enough good players, so wages are pushed up. Bradford going bust would have put an extra 30 players on the market and not enough places for them, hence wages down to a rate that the game can more afford.

Whilst I doubt this would even have been considered for us, I am so glad it didn't happen to us. What an embarrassment. I would truly have reformed in C1 and tried to fight our way back than accept such charity.

I cannot imagine this scenario occurring in any other walk of life. Other businesses assuming the debts of a competitor in order that the failed business can prosper to the detriment of its rescuers.

But tbh nothing the RFL does surprises me any more.

The sport is really on its backside.

just show how bent the rfl /sl are it make our sport look like a circus and a joke

Consider this (if it hasnt been mentioned before) The super league clubs buy the BB and if they havent sold the club by november, The club will be liquidated and the rest of sl clubs get the divvy from the SKY money, then the BB start again in C1.... who knows whats going to happen, but one thing is for sure they wouldnt and didnt do this for our club!!! If the RFL bend over anymore for the BB's they will fall over...

If this is only so bradford can finish the season then fair enough, but, if it is for keeps we (i include all other sl fans) should boycott bulls games home and away. 'cos if it is for keeps its deeply deeply unfair, not only to Wakey but to all the clubs that have gone to the wall in the past and to teams in c1 that are trying to get into sl the fair way.

They just make up the rules as they go along these days. It goes from disaster to disaster to disaster.

So will each club get a % of what we sell the BB's for?

Stinks... some stupid decisions by RFL... Getting a major sponsor that doesnt pay a bean, and taking on the debts, liabilities of a SL club losing 100k a month. RFL haven't got that much money to throw about. Set about a precedent really otherwise they may as well distribute a list of clubs the RFL consider worthy enough to be saved.

The RFL must have worked very hard to reach this level of incompetence.
