Sad day for the club. There doesn't seem to be any investment on the horizon and it looks like Bradford will lose it's RL club

Did you donate the money you raised from selling your glasses?

Finally, somewhere to discuss this matter.

sad day for the bulls, hope they can find a buyer at the last minute.

this affects the current league quite a bit, if they survive i assume they will be docked 10 points for entering admin, which more or less cements the top 8, salford being well adrift of the 8th placed team. at the moment 9 teams seem to be fightng for 8 places in the play offs. if liquidation occurs, their results could well be deleted which, without working it all out would also mean that the current top 8 will most likely be the final 8 with only the order to be decided

So in other words it does not effect the table very much at all.

yes it does, because instead of a fight for the top 8 between 9 obvious contenders there will probably be ony 8 now

Why 10pts?

Crusaders and Wakefield got 4pts.

Give them a 100 point deduction, " That'll teach them "

At least the buses to Halifax and Huddersfield are quieter on a sunday afternoon again

Because it's Bradford and the bitterness about those massive thumpings we used to give out at the beginning of the SL era still haunt the memories of the fans of those clubs who were on the receiving end. That's why you get so many negative posts regarding the Bulls. We took the whole idea of SL and ran with it. Yes, we might have nicked some marketing ideas from Keighley, but we did them bigger, better and louder.
