I dont think tangibly this changes much, but governing bodies integrity is as much about what you are seen to do that what you actually do. Imagine for example if the FA had bought Elland Road and rented it back to Leeds which saved them going into administration to save them from predatory businesses whom did prey on them, saved them 15 points deduction and resulted in someone else being relegated - there would have been hell on and rightly.

So, essentially this, although tangibly is a business decision, it does look stinky. The RFL have not granted the Bulls a license forever per-se, but I find it impossible to think that a criteria will be imposed on licensing applications that the RFL adjudicate upon and Bradford be excluded, it is a huge conflict of interests???? example:
RFL makes a rule that all grounds to have 10 flags and red flag poles.
Bulls ask their Landlords to have 10 flags and red flag poles
Landlord says no - Bulls go to court and cry cheat - RIGHTLY.
Landlord says yes - everyone else thinks it is a fix and the RFL sucking it's own. RIGHTLY

Can't win when you put yourself in this situation no matter how humble and worldly the reasons - I am no business or legal expert, but even I can see this is poor management and leadership.

I am not one for charity work, but here it is - come and get me RFL and Richard Lewis - I will go part time in my job and work FREE for the RFL one day a week as a consultant.
This is not a stunt, I am a specialist manager, shaper and creater of business ideas, oh and lapsed qualified RFL SL level Club Coach! - Genuinely if Red Hall contact me I will mentor the management team Free Of Charge a day a week, change the Performance Review structure and give business advice and I will take not one bean for it.
I only have qualifications, track record, experience, talent, free market skills, common sense, integrity and the ability to impart values and behaviours to others and love for a sport I was never talented enough to be able to play at the highest level, so in fairness probably I am not elligible.

All joking aside, I will genuinely offer management consultancy for free, gratis and at my own expense if asked.... I think some of my posts on here about brand values and ethics speak for themselves, this is on the level.

Its a 'fact'.

A Cas fan in a pub told him which makes it a fact. Honestly!

The Bulls fans just don't get it do they? Its not the fact that they sold the lease its who bought it,the RFL shouldn't have touched it with a bargepole its put them in a very difficult position and made our game look corrupt again. Hopefully they may have to see sense and take stadia out of the franchise rules now, but somehow i don't think that will ever happen.

Again, very amusing and exactly the type of attitude that will ensure your club loses a significant amount of respect and affection amongst the fans of other clubs; you've been bailed out by the RFL using money levied from members clubs and their fans - show a bit of humility.

Like I care, you can all hate us for as much as you think you might know or what you believe.
Why don't you boycott Odsal whilst crying a river or something?

Got to laugh at that one 10/10 as for this well, im absolutely dumfounded by this, I wonder if this will cause a rift in the super dooper league clubs ???

Oh and for the second time in our history, is it that both cas and the polecats fans are in unity over this, the last being the merger issue ?

Indeed it seems we are united on this. Though it's about time all RL fans marched on the RFL and said enough. This game is nothing without supporters and they treat us like idiots and with contempt for our wishes. Iconic stadium?!! Do me a favour; it's a terraced quarry fit only to be consigned to the annals of history. Wembley, Highbury, Roker Park etc etc...any less iconic? Times move on. If the RFL really mean that they are idiots. If they think we believe they mean that, they are bare faced idiots. Next few weeks gonna be interesting on this one. We better be careful though...it may be a cunning plan to get us liking each other and wanting to merge
