why would SKY Sports still pay the same amount of money for less games?

I would imagine the money will be reduced accordingly for the number of teams in the comp.

Doubt that. They pay for the games on the screen not the number of teams in the competition. There may be a clause in the agreement that says otherwise but I doubt it because it's an unforeseeable situation.

They wouldnt get less games, they would get the same amount of games. We would simply have a round less.

Sky pay for 70 games, at most, all it would do is require us to split one round of games over 2 weeks

Plus it would allow is, if the details could be sorted out with the NRL, to have the WCC as the pinnacle of the MM weekend

Though it is possible to run the season with 13, move to a 25 game season, spread the roughly 1.2m Bradford would get between the other 13 clubs giving them about 90k each in place of a home game.

No it isnt

There's some twists and turns in this yet; At the fans meeting tonight a director of Greenwoods (one of the Bulls sponsors) turned up, and told everyone including the Administrator that he'd been trying to get in touch.

The administrators response - 'I don't have voicemail'.

Shoddy.

Very..... 85 stores nationwide.......I reckon they could afford to buy the club.

I find it hard to believe that somebody hasn't stepped up.....unless any new buyer would look for assurances that in 2014 they will be given another 3 years

More importantly, I'm pretty sure Greenwoods was bought out by very rich chinese firm.
