Bradford Bulls Administration saga : Tue Jan 24, 2017 9:26 pm  
Seems we are still in Admin according to this http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/15042484.REVEALED__The_true_scale_of_debts_that_sent_Bradford_Bulls_into_administration/.

The company has ceased trading but is still officially to be liquidated and talks have continued with seven parties interested in acquiring some or all of the business assets.

Mr Pettit states in the report that the Rugby Football League’s action to start a new club in Bradford was “unauthorised”.


You couldn't make this up, could we end up with two teams? Seems Making a new clubs wasn't a good move by the RFL either. They probably fast tracked it for their fixture list.

The biggest single creditors are Mr and Mrs Green who are owed £750,000 in directors loans. They have agreed to remove their status as secured creditors in the interests of creditors as a whole, according to the report.


Does this mean we don't owe Green s essentially maybe less points? Or is that only if someone buys the 'old' club?

The main creditors listed by the administrators and the amounts they are owed include:
Marc and Jane Green £750,000; HMRC £400,995; ISC (kit suppliers) £217,718; The Rugby Football league Ltd £66,450.
Narang Wholesale Ltd £34,751; Bradford Council £29,167; Chadwick Lawrence £26,219; Integrated Bradford LEP Ltd £20,081; Heritage Leisure Designs Ltd £19,070.
League Publications Ltd £17,600; Brake Bros Ltd £17,066; Factorprep Com Ltd £15,339; St Helens RLFC £10,891; R Pearson Electrical £10,854; Sean Lowe £8,413; Lupton Fawcett £7,662.
W Cropper Ltd £7,229; Leasing UK Ltd £7,196; Football First Agency Ltd £5,800;Pro Audio £5,760; Rhino Rugby League £5,711; Yorkshire Water £5,000; Hudson Energy £5,000; Syncmedia Ltd £4,511.
Global Autocare Ltd £4,496;Richard FW Gibson £4,197; Show Me The Money UK Ltd £3,875; TopTix Sport UK Ltd £3,787; Payment Sense £3,661;WF Senate £3,600; Physique Management Company £3,558.
West Park Leeds RUFC Ltd £3,354; Williams coaches £3,143; Prodicus Legal £3,000; NAK (UK) Ltd £3,000; Leeds Rhinos £3,000; Whitehaven RLC £2,929; Britannia Plumbing and Heating £2,650; Chilled Events £2,613.
Signature Signs £2,555; Impact Sports Consultancy £2,000; Business Management Services £2,000; Cottage Linen Hire (Leeds) £1,885; Booker £1,884; Jonny Walker £1,793; Dr Anndam Banerjee £1,550; Jailiam Investments £1,500; Eric Twigg Foods £1,429; Reflex Nutrition Ltd £1,425.
Rise International Group £1,386; Group Trader £1,370; Johnston Press £1,200.
BBS Catering and Equipment £1,150; Charles Crookes £1,140; Russell Callaghan £1,100., Professor L Funk £1,052.
A further 110 companies had claims of less than £1,000


Interestingly the creditors owed are listed but how the heck do you owe to charities? Isn't that illegal?

The administrator is still selling this from the old club. The RFL bought some things yesterday which the creditors had to agree to.

That's how the club shop is opening at a guess. RFL bought the stock and then the new owners must of bought it from them. I 100% know the RFL Definitely bought all the weight and gym equipment from the admin.

Depends whose asking

Re: Bradford Bulls Administration saga : Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:57 pm  
Are some of those names actually real companies - If we owe "Business Management Services" £2000 we should ask for a refund because they clearly didnt do their job :-)"

I know its the other code; but just goes to underline how point deductions does not stop the decay; London Welsh were deducted 20 points!! and went into liquidation.
Sorry for the fans of any team that has to go through this.

You're confused. The only thing in administration was BBNL, a limited company. Months ago that had its membership of RFL withdrawn so is no longer anything to do with rugby. It is just the vehicle through which a sports club once operated.

The club which is in the 2017 Championship, owned by a different new company, is the one we will be watching on Sunday. As for BBNL, whilst there was as much chance of the administrator making a new application for RFL membership as of tigertot buying a round, BBNL is now in liquidation anyway. Gorrrrrrn.
