So in summary those from other clubs need not bother getting their knickers in twist unless we pull off the impossible and reform and manage to stay up.

Think if we qualify for middle 8's

If there is one good thing to come out of all this it is that it has pee'd off Blue Sox fans.

Immense value? This arrogance is what has got you into this position. Championship was fine before Bradford Bulls and will be fine after it. Just has Super League has gone on without you. The money we loose from an extra 2k attendance once a season will be more than replaced by sharing out your £300k central funding.

It's the RFL talking not me. If I have or haven't any arrogance, makes no odds as nothing I did got me or the club into this position, I just spend loads of my hard earned on the club and suffer along with the other fans.

I'm sure you're right that Bullmania and 20K crowds at Odsal have been equally replaced by, er, something else, although I can't just remember what.

But perhaps the dumbest thing you write is that everything is fine, when pretty much anyone else would agree that full time pro rugby league in this country is in serious danger of dying on its arrse, and losing Bradford is a pretty large nail in that coffin.

So we remain in the Championship starting on -12 points but with no players, staff or coach currently signed up. Season starts in a month and we are away to Hull KR...

Not sure why fans from other clubs feel the need to come on here giving us crap, because I sure don't feel like we have much to look forward to in 2017 anyway. The end result looks to be the same to me. I guess it really all hinges on who takes the club on and what level they wish to see the club operate at.

I've started putting dubbin on my boots in readiness

To put a positive spin, what you will have is a new company running the license granted to the Bradford Bulls, with a lower level of debilitating financial commitments for next year, and run better, more efficiently, with Championship gates (which will allow growth). No one supports the company. Fans support the licence granted to the Bradford Bulls by the RFL, and all that has happened is that the owner of the license will change, but on a better and more solid footing. I'm sure most things are in place.

Onwards and upwards. See you in the Million Pound Game in 2018.

Not though of it like that. I may be tempted back to watch NewBulls

I call BULL! You didn't spend enough money in the bars in the ground

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Tue Jan 03, 2017 4:33 pm  

So sad to hear, I’ve said before I have a soft spot for Bradford and sincerely hope a new club is sorted quickly for you loyal fans to support.

Good luck.

No, the main news. Just goes to show we are still a big club and rugby league needs us
