Are they making the over 10,000 season pass holders pay again?

No. There was a virtual ticket that people could buy if they wanted. I heard earlier that several thousand had been sold. If the number I heard was right, and it might well not be, then I think the first target is reached.

The hundreds if not thousands of neutrals at Odsal tonight disagree with you. Seems like people wishing death on RL clubs are the tools that won't be missed. Caisley for example, the person you should actually be angry with - nobody misses that 2@. And now you and Vastman, Mr Heartland Rugby League himself, are embarrassing yourselves in the same way. No matter what happens now you're both people who have actively wanted other RL clubs to go under. The pair of you are shitheads.

Listen my friend, I've been to about 8 different grounds in London watching the Bulls/Northern,
and come May I'll be going to yet another new ground at Leyton. Obviously I'm going to
watch my team, but at the same time I'd like to think I was supporting R L in London.
So why don't you meet me before the game this year for a drink. I don't think I'll have much
trouble finding you!

Just a thought.... how much of the "drive" to get cash in is actually a lost cause financially but is actually a tactical attempt to limit any possible liability of the directors. After all, company directors can be held personally liable for a companies debts if they chose to continue trading (eg:- applying for a SL licence for 3 years) if they knoew of financial problems. If they didnt, then a £1m tax bill coming out of the blue would indicate very poor knowledge and therefore a possible breach of their duties under company law.

I think we will get the 500k. Caisley has said he will come in only if hood steps down and if they are not on target then Mr hood has no choice.

Most of the time you talk sense mate, but this is harsh. Just because of a few prats on the VT who are Bradford fans doesn't mean that should reflect what you think of an entire club.

The disappearance of Bradford will affect the community as well as Rugby League in so many ways.

The Bulls don't have very large debts yet. They've run out of cash and would build up large debts if the carried on trading until the end of the season without a cash injection (in the unlikely event that they could obtain credit). But they dont have huge debts now.

A hypothetical question whilst I wait for the 11.30am announcement. What would happen if the Bulls were unable to complete their fixtures for the season?

As I understand it, the Bulls games that have already been played would be declared null and void and erased from the records. But isn't the situation complicated by the Magic Weekend fixture against Leeds? Effectively all the other clubs would play their 2 fixtures against each other, plus the Magic Weekend game. Wouldn't Leeds end up with one fewer fixture? How would they make that up?

Declare all magic weekend fixtures null and void and just have it as a showcase weekend would be the easiest and fairest way of doing it. The likelihood though is IF Bulls go into administration, the first thing the administrator would do is to try and find a buyer for the rugby team (a bit like what is happening with Rangers in the SPL). If that could be done then Bulls would complete their fixtures but with a stonking big points deduction.
