When and we’re and how

Still hoping it’s not us. I don’t see it ending well but either way I’ll buy my season ticket and travel away most weeks and take the abuse hurled at us regardless of ifs it’s in SL because the RFL are corrupt and Bradford are their favs or if it’s the championship because the RFL are corrupt and Bradford are their favs

Rumour has it Wimbledons new stadium

Don't be daft, it's a commonly used term, you know what it means.

What it proves is you are incapable of a proper debate.

No need to reply.

Yes it's Plough Lane but seemingly more than a rumour with Broncos looking for a long term deal to use the ground.

Given the timing it raises the possibility it's NOT the Bulls for Superleague







A London fan commented [i"If the NRL are coming in and are going to fund us like Melbourne Storm then that’s one thing but otherwise I just think that we are just being set up to fail just at a time where we have really started to make a home at Trailfinders".[/i

Not sure where he got that idea from, but Melbourne Storm are the club whose sole owner looks favourably on sharing ownership of the storm with David Argyle.

There was an idea during the TWP days of yore that Argyle was interested in London Skolars

Then again doesn't Mr. Lenegan have a stake and investment in London....

[i"Ian Lenagan (born 1946, Scholes, Wigan) is a business entrepreneur, theatre producer and shareholder of London Broncos, chairman and owner of Wigan Warriors",[/i

Intriguing.......

It's really not the Bulls fans fault, it's almost never any fans fault *except for some idiots at some clubs occasionally*.

The majority won't give Bradford fans any grief at all. Anyone with half an ounce of grey matter will lay the blame at the door of corrupt a corrupt governance & self serving Super League member Clubs !

I hope that Bradford get back to Super League long term, but on a sound financial & playing basis. I don't see 15 - 17K crowds anymore, but even a mid table Bulls could pull 8,000 I guess.

I don't think it should be Bulls this time, doesn't mean never though.

CC final, second in the league, been in SL every year bar 2, had some world class players, brilliant academy production line............ let that sink in

Go on tell me you have 6k fans. Yawn

As a Bradford fan, I think it is too soon for us (both on and off the pitch).

The number of blokes over 50 on twitter that are already red in the face at the prospect of us going up really makes me think it’s probably worth it though.

I know what you mean. I'd enjoy watching the "I h8 u bulls finking u deserve everyfing" brigade going full gammon. But I would be incredibly surprised if its us.

Selectively interpreting an article...?

Delayed to 12:30. Perhaps a few brown envelopes dropped in at the last minute?

no
Gerard Houllier has passed away so its been put back

Welcome back Leigh

What a boring choice. Should have been Toulouse. See you back in the Championship in 2022 Leigh.

Congratulations Leigh. Best of luck to them

Its the right choice, if ever so slightly anti-climatic.

1,000 fans, no SL quality players, no rich owner, no TV deal..........

and straight back down. On what basis do so many people think Toulouse could survive SL let alone contribute to it? Could you enlighten me?

What the fudge to pit village Leigh offer other than reinforced stereotypes of the northern game for northern villages. As for player development and Tv deal what players are spewing through the Leigh ranks, and I cant see Amazon and Netflix queuing up to offer huge cash for a tv deal now Leigh are back in the big time.

Congratulations Leigh. Great facilities, great fans, good following (COVID depending) and an owner ready to put his money where his mouth is

I wish them the best of luck. Take this opportunity and don't look back. Would be good to see a championship team go up and build and build and not come straight back down. I'm sure there will be an additional couple of quality signings but the only thing which worries me is that they've already started building heavily for next season. It just doesn't look like a squad that can avoid bottom 2 but more than happy to eat my words next season if they become competitive. Taken from the Leigh rlfans

Sorry if ive missed any signings off

No SL quality players but finished above Leigh last year?

Leigh will come straight back down anyway....

Maybe, maybe not. I reckon they'll be good enough to stay up and hope they do. Beaumont would be daft to spend this much only to not go the extra mile to ensure they keep their place, especially if franchising is about to rear its head again

Think you need to check your attendance figures ???

Although not stunning, their average in 2019 was near as damn it 2500.

Mind you, it's irrelevant now as Leigh have possession of the golden ticket

The only real choice in this was Leigh. I do think if the SL sides had a say, Leigh wouldn’t be there as they have the potential to send one of the 11 down next season. Hopefully they do. Good luck Leigh. Although I will miss our games against each other next season.

Congratulations to Leigh, but have to say the total lack of ambition by ignoring Toulouse is plain daft. I would go to Toulouse away, I will not be visiting Leigh, I would have gone to York, but I wouldn't have gone to Bradford or Featherstone. But they will be there battling with KR for bottom spot next season, at least Salford can be relieved and maybe Donnyman can stop starting threads about anti expansion theories and quotes from Martyn Sadler?
