So we know that the RFL are paying the wages on a full salary cap bill. Can we assume that the rent cost for the Iconic Odsal Stadium are been waived by the RFL?

Well, it looks like the RFL agree with a large number of Wakey fans regarding the similarities between each clubs problems .

The difference being that our prospective new owner went to the RFL with two business plans, proof of funds and no unreasonable conditions attached to his proposal.

Perhaps the ABC consortium have less interest in saving the Bulls and rather more in getting their hands on a piece of prime real estate?

This is exactly what I think. AG was willing to take us on whatever league we were in. Bulls fans did not appreciate my comments on VT about it!

I wouldn't call it prime

The bulls fans are quite frankly pathetic in their constant blaming of everyone from the RFL to uncle Tom cobblys wife! I didn't have much sympathy when this first came to light due to the arrogant Bradford fans at the time of our demise. Now I have zero sympathy, the quicker the club dies the better. Get ready septic Eddie and FA the trolling hasn't even begun yet. Can't believe we are even talking about this basket case of a club, they don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breaths as such great clubs as Halifax and Keighley.

Haven't really been over to their site much to see what's been happening these past couple of months till today but I've got to admit the levels of arrogance by a few over there is quite staggering, especially considering their situation. I was pretty gutted for them when it all first started but now screw 'em, if they die they die.

Parkin wanted a guarantee, the RFL said NO, this ABC lot want a guarantee and the RFL have said NO.

Glover offered to support the club in whatever league it ended up in, this ABC lot don't seem to want to do that.

RFL help out with wages and the players remain in place, the same players the club can't afford to pay have no been sold to ease the burden.




Of course it can be argued "its different" but i think thats just them thinking they are a big club and they are better than us.

Mystic Eddie you reap what you sow shut the door and turn the light off when you leave old pal.
