Sure I remember Bradford being against us when we had our problems. I remember fans from all clubs being asked for money to keep the club afloat.
I also remember when we played Bradford at The Stoop just after Bradford had been found guilty of cheating the salary cap. My seat was in front of the hospitality box the away teams used. Some of us chatted to people in there from the club, they were a bit glib, saying it was all a big mistake. No intention to cheat, just an error. None of us who were there thought too much of them for that.
It is their fans I feel for. They have been let down badly by their owners. They turn out in great numbers, create a great atmosphere. We sat amongst them at Blackpool and they were great people.
It could well be for the best if they start again and build from the bottom. I do think that they must get away from Odsal though.

What comes around, goes around (three times in their case)

It appears Bradford Bulls are hanging by a thread. A decision has to be made soon and from what is said, the outlook for the once mighty club looks grim.

So do we approach foster/his agent Keyes?

Re: Bradford Bulls : Tue Jan 03, 2017 9:33 pm  

no they didnt want to be with us that's why they left, so if they didn't want us why should we want them now

Re: Bradford Bulls : Wed Jan 04, 2017 9:35 am  

Foster wanted to be up North to be near his girlfriend, Joe Keyes, Ilies Macani and John Magrin, did not fit into Hendos plans. So no chance of seeing them back.

Re: Bradford Bulls : Thu Jan 05, 2017 12:16 pm  

So the Bulls are no more. But it does mean a new club and company can be formed with no outstanding debts as its a new company. How do folk feel about the fact the RFL have said they can compete in championship in this case?
For me it's a new club, let's call em odsal old boys should they not have to go through the same process that tolouse and Toronto are going through and start from the bottom of the professional ladder?
I get the issue with the current players and livelihood but Bulls are no more it's like any other company going bust.

Re: Bradford Bulls : Thu Jan 05, 2017 12:52 pm  

The RFL have put themselves in an awkward position being that they hold the lease on Odsal. I think they need get a Bradford Phoenix club playing there for financial reasons.
It is a real mess.

Re: Bradford Bulls : Thu Jan 05, 2017 2:08 pm  

4 players have left in 24 hours, more will follow you would expect

They are dead in the water and should be booted out and made to reapply in 2018. -12 points with no players ??? why cater for them. They go bust annually.
