Should Bradford go into liquidation is it the case that all the opposition sides that took points in their games against them lose those points ?
I seem to recall this happening in non-league soccer a couple of years ago.
If it remains at administration then only Bradford lose the points,obviously.
The RFL setting a precedent is a bit of a lottery if the cup-tied Thackeray for Hull FC is anything to go by.

I've had a gander through the RFL's operational rules and can't find anything on insolvency, plenty of stuff on HMRC payments though.

In the soccer it was Chester who were liquidated and had their results expunged. Vaughan was the guy in charge - the same one who caused Widnes their financial problems. Link

Do you mean that all points Bradford have gained this year will be returned to the opposition??

I hope this isnt the case, as Bradford have beaten all the teams scrapping around us in the league and we would only stand to gain a point from it.

Nah.The 3 points we took from them will be lost -including the memorable try at their place - will be expunged
as though they didn't happen.
Play-off hopes well and truly gone,before we go to Hull,if Bradford liquidate.

Yours is a great idea though.

looking at the VAT bill for the sale of the lease it appears the RFL paid Bradford £1.5m of which £250k was VAT so a handy £1.25m into the coffers, so where did this money go? Can the RFL afford £1.5m at this time?

Didn't the RFL buy Odsal off Bradford Council, not Bradford Bulls?

if that was the case why have Bradford got a VAT bill of £250k from the sale of the lease to the RFL?
pLus councils don't pay VAT
