I can't say I derive much pleasure from this apart from showing that SL is falling apart.

Having said that, Fax should avoid SL like the plague until it has had a total rethink.

I don't take pleasure from Bull's issues however somebody needs to wake up at Red Hall.

Its a sad do when one of the sports biggest teams is facing the reality of extinction.

Its all very interesting!

Can't wait until the film.

A points deduction for next season & their landlords wiping the snot from their snivelling noses not giving a crap about the game in general. DISGRACEFUL RFL super league is a joke.

I expect Odsal to start getting events such as semi finals, possibly championship GF's, NRC cup finals etc etc to line the RFL pockets.


This sport is governed by clowns and geneuine people that run clubs like ours get overlooked.

It's alright having a business plan scrutinised pre license hand out, but are there rules about having to stick to it? Also, Surely the plan must have been speculative as the directors were quite clearly relying on on pitch performance as a source of income which just hasn't happened.

I agree MM I also expect any cup or semi to be played at Odsal whch would be crap as the place is a poop hole.

Investors will now be shuffled in to start from scratch. You and i have paid for this by way of taxation. If my company misses one monthly payment of PAYE, HMRC are all over our backs so it's about time they wound up the irresponsible tax dodgers who run sports clubs.

Going into Administration was in the Bulls license application. It's all part of a three year plan. By 2015 all the turmoil will be over and the RFL/Bulls can pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

The franchise syestem is little more than a joke aimed at feathering the nest of the top clubs which included bradford. In there case the wheels came well and truely off and has led to the current state of play.
What I would question is how well written was the Bulls business plan because as the franchises were only haded out a little over twelve months ago surely at that point the writing was on the wall.
Questions have to be asked and in keeping with one or two others, if I was running the Halifax club i'd be very wary about jumping into the super league bed.

Whilst we would have more income we would need to ensure that we do not go out and spend stupid money on old men, but to be fair , the club is more important than the league we play in.
