IF every other SL Club loaned the Bulls $100k on favorable long term loans ( Allams to KR) then they would be safe and stay in SL

Would all or any clubs do this ?

I would be happy if FC did this and then we may get this favour in return many years down the road - who knows ?

No sorry tough . They made there bed now its time for another club to get its chance

Simple answer NO.

They didn't help us when we were in trouble why should we help them because of there mismanagement now..

For me personally, no. I really do feel for the bulls fans but why should a club that has been mis managed be given a SL lifeline.
I know just before our merger we were planning for a life in league 1 and I would have accepted that as having a club to support is more important. SL licence is a privilege not a right and they've abused their chance.
The demise of 1 club in the top flight provides another club and set of fans the chance to experience and enjoy being amongst the elite and so it will continue.

Loans and debts are what got the Bulls into trouble in the first place. More loans will not help.


It wouldn't happen anyway. Most other clubs couldn't afford it and many of those that would probably wouldn't, anyway.

We are talking about Liquidation here , not just dropping to Championship !
I have no issue at all with them dropping to Championship - sod em , tough luck and pay back for all that salary fiddling that won them trophies they should never have had _fiddling barstewards

However we are talking liquidation - a different matter

I would not be happy if Hull lent them that amount of money. If I recall correctly I do not remember Bradford doing Hull any favours when Hull had problems. I think that they got a couple of our better players on the cheap & their coach @ the time seemed to show little sympathy towards Hull.

If the club hadn't of merged with Gateshead we were in the same position as the then Chairman of rovers voted against us dropping down and it had to be a majority vote.

If I remember correctly he thought us folding may gain rovers some fans

I remember that & because of that what little interest I may have had towards Rovers went. I believe another club also voted against Hull but I cannot recall which it was.

jacko 1 , you are very right !

Rovers with Legend Colin Hutton tried to destroy us and hence form , in their words , ' the only RL club in Hull '

I wouldn't pi** on their ground if it was on fire , Rovers are scum -simples

Bradford are not much better ,however 2 wrongs don't make a right and we are better than Rovers

I would like to see us save them from liquidation but not if all they do is start in Championship , they can nearly do that via liquidation anyway

It did. Two!

I really feel for the Bradford supporters and players; the problems they are having are totally out of their hands. Initially support for the club is/was very high, as you could tell by the amount raised through collections. I think the main gripe is that the amount purported to be owing has turned out to be far higher than first revealed, therefore creating a feeling of animosity towards the chairmen and the club as a whole. Imo the club is too valuable to let slip by the wayside and I hope something can be done to improve their situation.

If a way can be found to save Bradford Bulls, which is important for the competition we compete in imo, then we should explore it imo.

I find some of the eye for an eye comments, frankly somewhat petty when we are talking about the survival of a SL club like Bradford. Hull FC fans should be very aware of what Bradford Bulls fans are going through, and it is not there say what went on in the past with any decisions to help or not help us, nor do they have a say now. We should also be aware that the collapse of Bradford will have a negative impact on the business side of SL, and thus have a direct negative effect on us as well.

it won't happen as not all clubs have 100k to spare, in fact trouble may be brewing for one or two more clubs financially before too long

I don't think the clubs should donate any money, only a few would have enough, but I'd like to see some former players make a gesture.

Auctioning off shirts or holding a fundraising dinner?
