So today is 'THE day' : Wed Jul 05, 2017 7:50 am  

Do we expect an announcement today, an announcement of announcement today, an announcement there was a meeting or the day to just drift by without so much as a 'meh!'.

I am going with relegation confirmed on Friday followed by underlining the fact it's us by a 1 point defeat to KR on Sunday and the rest of the season spent moping and deciding to do with my Sundays next year.

I'm going with no announcement, but a never ending stream of "I know what happened at the meeting" know-it-alls making up all kinda of crap.

No chance of an announcement I don't think. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if nothing is decided today, they'll probably just defer it like the SL meeting a few weeks ago.

We are Bradford fans waiting for an announcement, surely recent experience tells us to add about 48 days on to the ETA.

Don't get your hopes up.

I already have decided in my head we are going down and I will be visiting some new grounds next year.

IF there is to be any change to league structures, I'm sure it will be announced, in true RL fashion, just before the season starts - though not too late to muck up the fixture lists, of course..

Re: So today is 'THE day' : Wed Jul 05, 2017 9:40 am  

I would say nothing today, with chance of bad news tomorrow or Friday..

I'd say mathematically we are down now, so we need an RFL miracle and I wouldn't count on them for anything.

If we are in C1 next year however I will still go and support the club if the performance's warrant been watched...

We have to have uncertainty...otherwise we may sign up our better players for next season and allowing that and a full pre-season means a season of almost normality for us.

Does the meeting today actually carry any weight? Serious question...

I mean, the chairman can have as many meetings as they like (I'm sure it's good for the expenses budget) but if they don't have the power to effect change, then it's all a bit pointless anyway.

My guess is the chairman get together and (with an eye on their bank balance) come up with a plan for no relegation this year. This get's communicated to the RFL who say, 'Nah....' and we get relegation confirmed when we lose the next couple of games.
