Listen to TRB & Sandal, these gents speak with both heart and experience! They had the chance to do the same but they and the vast majority of other passionate Wakefield supporters realised, as I hope Bulls fans will, that their money was ultimately not going to change the future of the club under the current management, it was just prolonging the inevitable!

I have already said on the Leeds board that I will put some money into Bullbuilder, if they wish to extend their remit or into a new Supporters trust set up with the aim of endeavouring to preserve the future of the club for the fans.

It's good money after bad. Don't part with a penny under the current management.

This.

Giving the Bradford BoD a million quid is folly; set up a vehicle that allows the money to be held in escrow, so it can be used to fund the inevitable phoenix company that will rise from administration. You might get more help from the RL community that way - as it stands, it's not for me - I'm out.

Let's be honest - with 10k discounted season ticket holders, they should have enough of their own with a ton to spare who can bail them out.

About the only bit of pleasure I get from this horrible situation is this.

Only way you will get outsiders to donate is have a complete clear out of your board of useless directors .I myself won't due to one lousy Bulls fans comment last season at Odsal,oh I wish I could meet him now.

And mine too

Tapping up Solomona and paying his legal costs when he sued us, trying to prize Ellis away, trying to sign Walshaw last year, tapping up Semi all reasons why I would not give your directors a single cent. Add to that the arrogant way Bulls staff approach young players at amateur clubs in the Wakefield service area, explaining to the young lads that signing for Wakefield is a waste of time and that they should sign for a big club like Bradford, and then throwing silly money at 16 year olds, leaves me feeling no sympathy for Bradfords directors. Time for the Bradford supporters trust to step up to the plate.

Unless the money is going to Bullbuilder then you will find no bidders here!

No at the moment because of the first highlighted bit but its a maybe, if the second bit were to happen!

Having said that, if i were to take offense at all clubs who work in a similar way with the youngsters i wouldnt see an away game all season! Its more the fact they have continued to do this during the last few months (even weeks) while pretty much knowing that this whole mess was just around the corner.

I can forward to Bullbuilder via Paypal - I will ask the winning bidder what method they would prefer.
Thanks

I suspect you’re pledging to the Bulls board more than anything. I don't see how you could give any money up for no return, how do you know it doesn't just get spend on director loans or the administrator will eventually gobble it up. This excellent post from a prominent Hornets fan "hornetto" on totalrl says a lot about these situations.

I think we should try to help a fellow super league club in their hour of need just as the nice folk at farttown did to us with offering the rumoured 15k for Dale Ferguson.

We should offer a small fee for the permanent services of a couple of the following:

Sykes (Utility value and kicker)
Bateman (Great prospect)
Kopczak
Scrutton
Burgess

They Sound good to me....

I won't get involved in the exercise of picking at their bones, given how vocal I was about Huddersfield doing the same to us last year.

I really can't see any big name players going into a fire sale at this stage anyhow - if they do flog anyone, it will be pre-administration and to the monied clubs who can afford to buy out their contracts, rather than wait for a bunfight when they become free agents.

Not to mention Wakefield RUFC

The best thing the Bulls could do long term is to enter administration the sooner the better then move forward from there without the high earners and a new board. Yes they may struggle on the field for a couple of seasons but hopefully be in a decent position to win a new licence in 2 years time
I also think it is time for the axe to fall at RL HQ starting with Mr Lewis

Exactly, lets try and show at least a modicum of class here..... Its been done to us more than once and its clearly not nice, and 2 wrongs dont make a right.

Admin and phoenix club rising from the ashes is the result we should all want - anybody licking their lips at the thought of the Bulls hitting the snooze button completely should consider the 7k crowd they contribute towards for us and the PR damage it would do to the sport in general to have one of the former "big 4" out of business.

I agree that it is sad news about Bradford and we should refrain from any kind of "told you so" or any kind of gloating comments (especially given our recent history) BUT....

I agree it's not nice having the other teams picking at your carcass, but ATEOTD the carcass is there to be picked and if we don't, then someone else will. No point allowing the rest of SL to pick up some cheap, quality players while we stand in the background polishing our halo. Get into em I say, it's going tits up anyway, we might as well benefit from it while we can.

I would have liked more of the 7,000 crowd to turn up to the Rapids solicitors stadium.. sorry you do and say what you think and I will, and that is to get in there if the players as to be sold, if not other teams will..??

It was unpleasant when the vultures were picking over our bones but, the one sure thing is, their best players will be heading for the exit and if we can improve our squad, then we should do.
