No, the current Bradford offer nothing that numerous other clubs can't right now, save a large latent support from the boom years of the early 2000's.

Can't see how they come up on ground alone, not forgetting the money, or lack of they've had in the past

That latent support and promises from their new owner may well be enough.
Like it or not, they are the only club outside SL that could bring some decent numbers to games
and for me, there was good reason why the new regime was delayed by 12 months.

The other possibility would be Toulouse but, they may yet win the Championship GF, which would be another kick in the nuts for Fev.

It's circa 20 years ago since they were any good, they play in a decrepit ground where the pitch does not meet regulations, have bumbled along in the lower leagues for 10 years or so. They offer nothing to IMG any more than a Halifax or Featherstone, and certainley not a team who sits joint second in SL or a team who featured in the challenge cup final last year. Trinity in their current plight offer more.

If they get in then frankly I don't care about being in the top league.

Bingo ! we have a winner !

As soon as we move to a box ticking exercise, rather than on field performance, the whole system is open to abuse (just as it was previously) and ultimately, will any change to the clubs in the top flight actually attract a higher level of sponsorship ? NO

We will benifit under new owner i believe..
but if the winner of the grand final has less points then say for eg ourselves ?then in theory we go up .
not sure what effect a few thousand fans and a linch mob would have to IMG.
and indeed the bad publicity

We should do ok with the IMG score, should be top 12.

Up the Trin

Lots of pages from IMG criteria, happy reading It’s produced to baffle and confuse the average RL supporters, I haven’t a clue how to make sense of this waffle e.leeds-live.co.uk/_act/link.php ... d=12645911

They lose more points than they gain, when the score for % of capacity is calculated and their 3 year finishing position is poor.

Bradford are no where near SL.

To be fair Odsal would swallow up a 3k crowd.

Bradford will struggle to get a Grade B.

Guys calm down. Gledhills knows exactly what he's doing with that tweet and everyone gives him what he wants by responding and getting angry to him.

We're a B grade just like everyone else apart from Wigan Leeds Saints. The liklihood is Toulouse will be the 12th team IMHO Especially if they go up.

If the RFL/IMG/SL or whoever really wants us in SL they would have done it years a go. We've had years of "they won't relegate Bradford" " they'll parachute Bradford in SL" and it's never happened.
