Bradford have proved they are a big club and Im sure they will be back even stronger in the future. I feel sorry for you because you are on the receiving end of the farce which is the new structure. I will be there with my lads so show our support next week - a wiganer

I'm sure Bradford will perform well next season, but I think it's pretty disingenuous of you to belittle widnes' recent achievements. Remember Widnes have achieved more than Bradford in their history. Have been a more massive club than Bradford HAVE been.
Bradford if they do come back up will have to work their way up as widnes have.

well done in avoiding in answering my post. Bradford will be back, and unlike your team, my team, and Widnes, have had home crowds over 10K. Huddersfield Giants....ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!

i thought it was financial mismanagement that had cost them not the restructuring?

They would still be in the elite comp if it wasn't for the new structure dimwit irrespective of their financial status.

Seen my team relegated 3 times and royally bummed once, I understand the pain you'll be going through tonight.

You will bounce back. Bradford are a massive club and you will rebuild and prosper in time.

Hope you enjoy visiting some places you won't have been to in a while, including our humble abode. And I really hope you stuff the Dingles at 'fax and Keighley.

Be prepared to be bantered to within an inch of your lives though

unless of course the powers that be revoked their right to be in the comp?
not sure why the personal abuse though???

Well I'm absolutely gutted about relagation but it is a knock on affect from Caisley's mismanagement, the Harris case plus Hood and Khan's total incompetence and lie's.

Not to sound negative but I don't see how relagation is going to benefit us at all, attendences will go down due to the Bulls not been SL plus the teams we will play won't have a big enough fan base, not has much tv money unlike SL , Odsal is a drain and the way the format is set up for promotion and relagation, the bottom four SL clubs will always have the advantage over the top four championship clubs, I hope I'm wrong, COYB !!!

Re: Relegated : Sun Jul 20, 2014 10:35 pm  

Relegation used to be the norm didn't it...remember 4 up, 4 down ?
But because it has not happened in 10 years (relegation) it's a big SHOCK.
Welcome to the real world....
Did Super League clubs/fans feel sorry for the likes of Featherstone, Halifax, Oldham, Leigh, Sheffield & York etc where promotion was NOT an option, NO !!!!!!!!
At least Bradford can gain promotion, and I'm sure they will, sooner than later.

Do you mean the post that just said "whatever luv xx" which you edited to add to after i'd answered - or the one that was belittling towards another founding RL club?

Re: Relegated : Mon Jul 21, 2014 7:22 am  

I was doubtful about Lowes getting the job but I have now come round to the idea and am pleased he is there.

I expect Jimmy will have explained very clearly to Ferres and Green what type of players he needs for next year - and beyond. I now expect him to get them. Looking back, I suspect Green and Ferres realised when they took over that it was too late to save us and have been holding back till it was as good as confirmed. On the face of it they haven't signed many but I now fully expect to see them building a team to get us back up.

I am now confident the club is in "safer" hands than it has been over the years. We still have a club thankfully. When the shock of relegation fades we will all start to look forward to visiting different grounds and being involved in a very good league. There are going to be some exciting games next season and the play-off's will hopefully be great to watch if we have a team that can beat the likes of Wakey, Widnes and KR. They will be beatable!
