See you on the next administration thread...

Where Elon Musk bids £1 billion to the club and another £1 billion to the grass roots game. The RFL then choose the bid from the committee man at Bankfoot Cricket club as he just won £25 on the premium bonds.

One Championship chief executive, who did not wish to be named, told Rugby League Live: "I am a complete t0sser and should STFU."

"This is further evidence of the RFL bending over to accommodate Bradford..."

I think the appropriate phrase is 'bending over backwards' Aaron, although it's exactly what they need.

Remember the days we had journos like Dave Hadfield, Andy Wilson, Chris Irvine.

Now we get journalists who seem very angry at certain clubs, yet seem to never say a bad word about others who they happen to be close to and get the latest transfer deals. Wonder if he got as angry about the RFL bending over backwards when we had to play on a school field with portoloos at Sheffield. Or if he will call Belle Vue a cesspit like the journalist called Odsal yesterday. Sad.

Absolute story of the week there's 1metre less grass. Gets a lot of likes and people frothing at the mouth on twitter though so I guess job done.

Not sure where you get the 100k figure from. The total cost of operating a season at Odsal was 400k all in this includes all costs.

I didn't say it cost 100k a year to operate at odsal. The 100k figure was just for the business rates. There will have been rent, upkeep and utiliities on top of that to take it up to the 400k figure.

Bower's shared the story on there and the comments are class. Basically Karen's telling us it's a disk race - copy and paste from the last article about the Bulls.

Anyway when you read this Aaron - as we know you still come on here for material - I don't believe you got that quote from a real person that exists.

Thats a re-hash of the article he put out before return to odsal was announced where he said we couldn't return due to the pitch size Club then left Aaron with egg on his face by announcing return the next day. For some reason that particular journalist always seem to be the one who breaks any negative story relating to Bradford.

Sounds like a bum steer to me.

Yes! See what I did there? Works on two levels!

I've got an image in my head of him standing in front of his bedroom mirror in full Bradford city kit (including shin pads) doing an interview with himself taking down that quote on his dictaphone. Then thanking himself for the interview.

It’s not even the sort of thing an adult would come out with on the record - even anonymously- especially a fellow club’s chairman. I mean there have been some really strong comments about the sale of the lease etc from prominent people in the game but even then nothing like this.
