They've already been royally humped by Hudds. You can't wish that on them again

I think he was being ironic.

Well we've a week or so to find out if there's any substance to it.

It was still a ridiculously stupid statement. It is an unfortunate current fashion to make hysterical, OTT statements. I could excuse the odd Bulls fan making extreme responses to the situation, but almost to a person they have shown incredible restraint. So why you are trying to impress people with hyperbole is beyond me.

Make sense, in this mood I couldn't spot it...

I think the RFL deal will have small print "But must play at Odsall"

So another millstone for any potential new owner.

Indeed, and its not as if Sheffield have previous for being a baptism for new clubs - Shuddersfield. So how about Bradshef Beagles?

Well this is where the whole leasehold/freehold/redevelopment thing comes in. If there's no sweetner available to do something money making with some of the land then there is no point, but if this now opens up other avenues then who knows - it could still work out.

its not paranoia, it just gets more cringe worthy as the same game goes on, how the RFL and show their faces and spurt the utter drivel is beyond me, while I don't want to see the bull disappear all it does is again show favouritism to a team that are going to struggle from day one of this season coming up, common sense you start at the very bottom and build from there, funny how we was threatened with league 1 a few years ago

my gripe is not with bradford bulls fans its with the RFL I hope anyone who wants to argue the point understands this if not then they are a dim wit

Well, their own city has shown it doesn't really want them. They knocked the ground down for starters !

They seem a decent set of players and are strongly led by Mark Aston. They would surely do better becoming bradford than by playing as sheffield but at wakey.

What future do they really have ? Moving to Bradford could be a lifesaver and as I said, they ain't too shabby a side.

Not a thinly-disguised "merger" though - they would quite rightly be Bradford

I thought that the availability for purchase of Odsal was a pretty much universal condition demanded by the main interested people, and before them, even Green, when he was pretending he had the cash and the ability to run a whelk stall. Odsal seemed to be the thing that made it work. The RFL must have in principle already agreed to whatever plans these people had for the place and the team?

I'm not sure how this RFL solution is showing us favouritism! No club, no players, no coach, no ground, no kit no pot to pi55 in. And probably two weeks to scamble something together that will most likely get stuffed every week before being relegated, if we're lucky.

Some favouritism.

So go and gripe at the RFL. I'm sure there's an email address on their website. Tell them what a set of bent wazzocks they are. We've heard it til we're blue in the teeth.

Well I guess we might soon find out.

I don't know why everyone is confident about our new owner being Plan B. As far as I know he has no interest in RL (although I realise it didn't stop MG)

If you want drivel, you're the guy madly writing about "showing favouritism" on the board of fans who as of lunchtime today have nothing, no club, no players, no coach, nothing, zero, zilch. You appear to be a specialist in drivel.

and if you have what a joke your club has been asking all the players to take wage cuts!!! how will they feel, need to cut your own cloth accordingley

The RFL are doing their best to protect their interest, simple as!

As a sports facility, even when the Bulls were at their height, the land must have been pretty worthless. It was only the heritage that kept it going. Surely this is the opportunity for the Council & RFL to get rid of the lease & use it for more profitable purposes. I know it is a former tip, that is not necessarily beyond resolving. The Bulls Phoenix playing at a shared stadium. I would miss Odsal but would rather watch professional RL somewhere in Bradford than none at all.

I'm not in the know but i'd say that Irvine and Lamb are waiting in the background, as well as others?
how well financed and well organised they are is to be proved.

We could have done without a 12 point deduction, but are yet to find out what money we have and who's staying and who's going yet.
If the new owner has a bit of cash you never know we could maybe replace some of those on the way out.

Other clubs would be wise to remember that if the RFL lose their financial interest in Odsal they can kiss goodbye to fireworks after the Grand Final. And no pre-match Craig Charles either. Careful what you wish for.

no I'll leave that to you pal, lets see how long it is before it all hunky dory again
