I remember when the Bulls where flying high, with a squad full of highly paid players being involved in most major finals.
How much did they invest in the youth system in those days?
Not much, Noble & co instead preferred to spend all their funds on big name players.
At that time our club was struggling to stay afloat, & the poor Bulls club came & tempted Radders away from us & also our best player for a long time in Tevita!
So whilst I do feel for the Bradford fans at this time ( no fan deserves this), I have no sympathy with them moaning about other clubs circling around their young stars.
What goes around comes around, & after bad management those young stars could be the clubs best assets & only way of staying alive.
Harsh but true & we should know cos as I mentioned earlier we've all had to go through it.

Quote: Ewwenorfolk "I know. Only the England captain, Stuart Fielden, Paul Deacon, Robbie Paul, Jamie Langley came through at that time. An appalling crop of players.'"

All proved to be good players, but Robbie Paul? Hardly home grown player is he.

TBH the King burgers they serve there are "virtual" in any case. And they charge about £4. Should be minted

He signed on his sixteenth birthday. Some of the others were older when they signed. Why would the others be and he not?

Quote: Ewwenorfolk "I'm not talking about one decent player going. I'm talking about a whole crop of talented youngsters who the club have put time and effort into and who want to play for Bradford but may have no other choice.

And I'm not saying we are innocent, no club is in situations like this. Obst? Sun says your sniffing round Crookes too. But ATEOTD regardless of actions in the past, no club deserves this. I wouldn't wish it on the Rhinos, or you lot or any club at all.'"

So it's OK to ignore what the bulls did because that's all in the past, but any club doing what your club did are now accused of being vultures.
You are asking fans of other clubs to bail out your sorry Bod AND keep your best players together. eusa_snooty.gif
When your Bod started virtually giving season tickets away plenty of folk said at the time that it was not a sustainable business plan, only to be told in no uncertain terms that they didn't know what they were talking about, and that your fans and board would prove them wrong.
Well I'm sorry but I find it a bit rich that you want others to step in with cash when your own fans were only willing to part with a paltry amount for a season ticket and some even make money for themselves by offering the extra ST's they bought to away fans.
The bulls should be prepared to sacrifice a few youngsters to stay in business, before they ask fans of other teams to pay for their incompetence.
