How do we collectively tell the 10 bidders that actually we don't want to take up the RFL poisoned chalice. It isn't the will of the fans and they shouldn't do it.

Personally I think that this is the best option for the new club. Hope it comes about and we see a 'new' Bradford very soon. good luck!

Cheers Inkers! Could be sooner than we thought looking at the other thread, but who really knows?! Its the RFL's ball and we'll have to see who and where they let play with it.

Indeed, I suspect a few of the bidders will have read these pages at least. Also given that its safe to assume no Bulls fan actual picked the joke SL option the numbers are closer to 85% in favour of League 1 I reckon.

I might come on here and rant about it. That's guaranteed to work.

10 bidders and 10 votes for the 3rd option. Got to be more than a coincidence

Think option 3, as it is simply barking, was intended to be just a joke, though I confess, if this were the T&A, we'd probably have to accept the ten as genuine.

Since this isn't the T&A rantboard, I can't imagine that they are really genuine opinions and are best ignored if we're looking for how fans really think.

Just a thought, but say the Bulls didn't form for another season and the RFL gave everyone a bye. What would happen to the extra fixture at the Summer Bash? We play the bulls 3 times so potentially lose the right to fight for 6 points but everyone else only plays you twice. Those 2 points could be crucial come the end of the season.

I must admit that this has kept me awake at nights. Wondering whether HKR will miss out on their extra 2 points.

Too true.

It's beyond me why we should bother about a mid season jolly, which in itself, screws up the season as far as a being fair competition is concerned. Give 'em the two points....they'd get them anyway! I'm going to volunteer to be on the bench - so long as they promise I won't be needed!

Could never understand why the team that finished 5th last year should draw the favourites that were relegated from SL. Probably nothing to do with trying to fill the ground with the 2 best supported teams.
