I was talking to a parent of a Bulls under 21 player and he told me his son had not been paid...That is bad news and if it is filtering into the 1st team, well explains a few things for me

Sounds like rubbish to me. We're not quite that for up shits creek. Oh, pretty libelous statement to be making too?

They say their is no smoke with fire, but all the rumours and evidence such as cancelling players contracts, suggest that Northern may have money problems. They have become a selling club with gates falling. I wonder will it be 1963 again. I do hope not.

By the way have they paid us yet for Harris.

Right, what evidence is this exactly? If you're referring to tupou then he had severe injury problems and therefore had to go. We're still spending under the cap, even more so now that tupou has gone.

Who else is supposedly having their playing contract torn up?

The rumours you mention are just that and are made up by general nobodies who like to spread mindless rubbish.

I fear i may have touched a raw never, gates are falling best players leaving. It reminds me of a certain football club a few years ago.

Nope, you seem to be jumping to conclusions about something you have no idea about.

We've had a crop of players leave over a number of years and Odsal is draining money (it cost 75k to fix a broken drain or something). We're one of a few clubs making a profit and are building for the future, which will hopefully include a sporting village which will reduce our costs and see us become competitive again, hopefully.

It'll be a few more years before we get into trouble financially, and that depends if we get stuck with Odsal in its present state or not.

I see our Northern supporter comes from the Gordon Brown School of economics, Northern making profits everything is going well. Well i may be mistaken they have only made a profit each year i believe by including transfer fees such as Fielden. They are now under the cap because i feel they dont have the money to spend.

He has also not looked at what they are going to do with the Speedway Track, we keep hearing about the sporting village, but this story has been doing the rounds since the early 1990's. The are not likely to get help from the Council as Bradford cannot even fund the City Centre re development. So the question one has to ask what will happen in two years time when the SL license are given out as Odsol will not meet the requirements.

Psst, Odsal sporting village is due to be given the go ahead within the next few months if word from the council and club are indeed correct . It is currently second in the list of priorities of all projects for the council, behind a school that needs rebuilding.

I think you need to do a little research, you're still jumping to conclusions without knowing fact.

When you do this, you'll learn that there is increasing talk of Bradford City leaving Valley Parade and sharing the sporting village with the Bulls.

Funding is taken care of and has been supported financially by Bradford Council, Bradford Bulls, Yorkshire Forward, Sport England, Bradford & Airedale PCT and Bradford University.

Now. please go and read up on the things you are speculating about, because at the moment you look clueless and idiotic with your false accusations and rumour mongering.

Well, no matter what you feel, that's not the truth. If you can be bothered to look round the internet, you will find an article from Mr.Hood stating that Macca has the full cap at his disposal, also McNamara stated that he has enough funds left if the right player comes along, but he will not be rushed into paying stupid money.
