| Quote ="dboy"Do you not feel that there is an advantage to be had from getting a flying start to the season?
I don't necessarily agree, but the poster on here gave a single example, to create an image of paranoia.
The original post gave at least 4 examples of Wakey being set up as a "sacrifice".
.'"
First point, not really. We were third at Easter and finished 10th. The season before you were towards the bottom when you went on a winning run and ended up in the play-offs. It's like us saying because we have the big boys In wire, Leeds Wigan and Salford 4 week in a row we could go on a losing streak that we might not recover from!
Second point, "sacrificial lambs" the game hasnt even played yet!! Why not try winning? Every team plays each other twice, except us who have to play last seasons table toppers 3 timed while you play Cas...
They Definitely have it in for you haven't they! God I think the Wakey forum would actually explode if you had to play Giants and we got Cas

True actually. At Wakey fans' request, the ground is to be rebadged as the I CON U stadium to avoid any possible future misunderstanding

| Quote ="Wooden Stand"There's a fourth thing the RFL will need to consider and rule upon that doesn't yet appear to have received much attention:
1. Did the entity owning Bradford Bulls go into Administration? if Yes, go to point A otherwise proceed to point 2
1.5 Go to point 7
1A.1 Proceed to point F
2. If yes, are there mitigating circumstances (I.e. Effective arrangements demonstrably in place for paying off the creditors of that entity) warranting a reduction in the 6 points deduction penalty to 4 points? if yes, go to point 6
A. Was the administrator the same one as what it was last time? If Yes go to B otherwise go back to 2.
3. Is the new entity owning Bradford Bulls sufficiently well capitalised to warrant the Super League licence being transferred to it? If yes go to 4 If no then arrange immediate nuclear detonation over the iconic Odsal stadium. If "I am a bitter Wakey fan and actually, I don't have a feckin clue", proceed to point 1A.1
B. Is he called Guilfoyle? If yes, you might as well give up now, you're stuffed. If not, spin round eight times, touch your toes and move to point 1.5
B1 (a) Are you wearing socks? If yes, proceed to (b), otherwise go and find a pair. Then proceed to point H
G. Can you recite the exact sequence of steps taken to reach here? If o, start again until you can. If yes, proceed to point R2
F. If the applicant is the Bulls, they are obviously never sufficiently capitalised so proceed to point 4. If not, proceed to point G
4. Were the new owners of the new entity owning Bradford Bulls also directors of the previous entity that suffered the insolvency event? If yes, are there are mitigating circumstances warranting exemption from the requirement under the RFL Operational Rules, that they be banned from owning/directing a rugby league club? If yes, go back to 4. and keep asking yourself this question over and over again until your answer is "No".
C2 Proceed to point 3 unless your name is Eric in which case leave by the next available trawler. Do not pass go.
5. This point is intentionally blank
H. Proceed to point 5. If you have already been there, proceed to point G.
6. If yes, how mitigating were the mitigating circumstances? Proceed to take an immediate poll of all disgruntled Wakefield fans on the forum and insert answer here. If the answer is no, none or not very then proceed to point C2
7. Go to Point 5
R2 find two bricks. Hold one in each hand. Position at each side of your head and bring togeher as quickly as possible. Repeat until you lose consciousness.
G. If the club concerned is Wakefield, issue them with a free cheque for £10m, build them a new ground, and give a knighthood to each fan. If it is any other club, cry preferential treatment and send stiff letter to RFL, then proceed to point B1(a)

| Never posted on this before but have watched us for a while, I saw the idea of BullBuilder setting up a fund for a future financial crisis-I know it's unlikely but... I have no idea how many supporters back Bull Builder to be honest I just go to games home and away-but if anyone sets up a 10 or 20 a week scheme specifically to look at buying part ownership in the club through an organisation like Bull Builder I would be interested as I don't want to see this situation happen again. I know this might seem a bit long term for a first post on here but AdeyBull etc don't know if you have ever considered this?

If I win I'll buy all the shares, fall out with myself, slim the board down to 2 or 3 or my personalities then leave it to the goldfish to run. That should work

Devastating news for the Bradford club as repercussions of last week's brief spell in administration come to prominence
Hull FC set to sign Garreth Carvell as the 32-year-old England International looks for Bradford Bulls exit
Not looking good from Micky G's Tweets

| I saw that anyway as more of a "hands-off" warning to other clubs, tbh.
EDIT: and the [url=http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/article/8870/officials-issue-hands-off-warninglatest club statement[/url would seem to bear that out at least in part.

| Re the £300k injection all SL clubs are said to be receiving shortly - I just wondered :-
a ) Would the new Directors have been informed during their discussions with the RFL?
b ) Would OK have been informed during those same discussions?
c ) Would OK be pursuing the RFL/New Co if he had NOT been informed?
Just curious about this windfall and wondered how it affected things generally.

| From the T&A:
"Although Bradford have said they will work with creditors to avoid that sanction, Wakefield are believed to be among a number of Super League clubs putting pressure on the RFL to dock Bradford points"
If this is true it doesn't surprise me that Wakefield are one of the clubs, as they are one of the favourites for relegation.

| To be honest points deduction might not necessarily be a bad thing - it might give the players the extra motivation needed to play for the full 80 minutes and get the results to still avoid the drop - them we can laugh in everybodies faces that wants us to get a points deduction LOL
