Im with you Pop Tart.

To be honest I couldnt give a monkeys what Bradford have had, not had etc. I hope they get through whatever it is they need to get through and come out the other side. I have dealt with a couple of pre packs and am aware that a high percentage fail and they will have there work cut out trying to establish credit lines for all there needs. I wish them luck.

People talk about us been hard done to, but just think of all the clubs that have been locked out of the top flight for the last however long whilst watching us go from one financial disaster to another, I dont think it would have taken much for the RFL to get shut if they really really wanted to.

Lets just get on with the job of staying in the league and let others look after themselves.

Agree, we need to concentrate all our energies on staying up and running our own club well. We've had our own issues and our long term sustainability is our priority, what others do or don't do is up to them.

Thank Christ for that... it is like trying to herd cats getting into 'a debate' with AdeyBull. He models himself on the Iraqi Ministry of Information guy!

They send letters to the RFL about how hard done to they are?

Any response from this letter? Or has it been filed with the ‘Ashley klein is really mean to us’ petition?

Aren't you busy enough annoying people on the VT without coming on this board and doing it?

Thats another injustice that you've pointed out. That 78k yearly rent is more than half what we pay to rent BV. Yet Odsal is by far a bigger wealth generator, double the capacity (quadruple at the moment) and double the size corporate facilities. I'm no expert but I know enough to know that the rent is not marked to market.

If such a purchase is good business for the RFL why did they not purchase BV as an on going investment? You see the double standards been applied?

They didn't purchase BV as RFL knew they could get a lot more money from Odsal from landfill companies.

There's no over-reaction here, merely a request for an explanation of the application of the rules and regulations involved here.

We have had a receipt noting that the matter will be dealt with by Blake Solly, who appears a reasonable sort. We will see what comes back.

Nah mate. Straw man again. You know full well I am not commenting on anyone's "worthiness". I am expressing my disappointment at the loud voices who will not debate, will not consider anyone else's POV, support their POV with opinion or misinformation rather than back it up with actual facts, and go ad hominem and resort to derision when the other guy won't just roll over and accept they are 100% right but tries reasoned argument. As we can see immediately above.

Reasoned argument suggests a willingness to listen to the other side. I have yet to see a single word from you which accepts this premis.

I believe the RFL are right to keep Bradford in SL, but that a points deduction is essential in order for fair play to have been seen to be done. That is all.
