The stark reality is that Bradford are now a 'small' team, in the lower division and suffer the same disadvantages that all the other championship teams have had to.
Wakefield were in the same position in 1998 and managed to crawl out and then survive at the higher level despite all the odds. Best you can hope is that you take your chance when the opportunity arrives.

Bleat all you want, nobody is listening, and nobody has ever listened.

But you ARE listening aren't you? And so are so many other smug trin fans, otherwise this thread wouldn't have so many condescending comments upon it.

Can I just say that regardless of who won last weekend, and regardless of who has SL status or not, I'd much rather be a Bull.

Imagine supporting a dying club in a stadium that's falling apart where your only taste of success was a play off spot in 2004. I've supported a team of World Champions in my lifetime. You've won one f*cking game Wakey after an absolute joke of a season! Go back to your holes!

They've now beaten a Championship team and I seem to remember they beat a Super League team............although that might have been last year.

Hard to argue with that to be fair!

It's quite amazing the way Rugby league fans will rear up to Defend their club, Bradford fans are to be admired , They got used to being the big boy in the league and thumping just about everybody, with a mostly New Zealand team ( at one time.)

Since then they have been Duped , defrauded, ridiculed and degraded by various people at the club, They play in a dump of a stadium ( not the fans fault ) with it seems little chance of ever progressing to anything better.

They are now having to get used to life at a lower level in League ( which can't be easy, having been where they have been), yet they are still supporting their team in good numbers, Presumably with the dream of rising again.

Good luck to them I say, and for what it's worth same to Wakey, They have not had it easy ( again not the fans fault ) They have beaten some poor odds to survive, and who would back against them doing it again.

I find it quite amusing the way they are quite happy to attack their own club, or the people running it, but will not tolerate it from other fans.
League fans really are a breed apart.

Wakefield's team and coach for one thing! (or should I say ten or eleven things? )

It always seemed to me that the only way a championship club would be promoted under the new format would be if a SL club had a meltdown season, became stranded at the foot of the table and fell into disarray. It never occured to me that such a team could then replace most of the team and effectively start afresh in the Middle 8s.

I know we have brought in new players, which also seems to be not quite right. But the ability to replace most of the team just seems to be the final nail in the coffin for the promotion prospects of championship clubs.

If I give my dog a clout for growling at someone that's fine. However should someone else give it a clout then I'm not going to be happy....
