Justice seen to be done.
Move on.
Beat London.

@rosshtanda: A Bulls spokesperson said: “Prior to the appeal hearing, we had already taken initial legal advice on our options should the appeal fail."We will now pursue those options with a view to a decision on how to take matters further in the belief that the decision made was wrong."

Seems you were right..

The saga still needs a thorough and open examination and concrete rules for future administrations etc.

Reported on SkySports too

Agreed - it's been a bloody farce right from the start being unfair to all clubs / fans involved .

And as has been pointed out by so many experts on the Bulls forum you can't take legal action against SL.

Trinity will hammer the Broncos on the back of this news.

Feelgood factor, new coach, it's nailed on.

Bulls gonna appeal against the appeal


you couldn't make this stuff up could you

They won't its just chest beating to appease the fans, as MG got all is money back now.


Decent Bulls fans have been given the run around on this one and by the previous owners and the RFL, they deserve better.

Just seen some cringeworthy comments, not from bulls fans, but CAS fans on the BULLS forum! Anyway, surely Bradford have learnt their lesson from the appealing correct decisions? How on earth do they have the bottle to take initial legal advice?

I presume you're not a Wakey fan.

Correct decision. Time for Bradford to let it lie now and move on.

They’ve been on their quite a while wishing & praying for the points back.

If it had been Cas down at the bottom this season I think it would have been a little different, with some Wakey fans showing faux concern for Bradford’s situation.

I see old two faced showed up, its been cringeworthy for years putting up with it.

Great news for us, hopefully that is the end of it. I'm sick of it being in the back of my mind!

To be fair this has increased my faith in the RFL and it's procedures a little, the perfect opportunity to give a boost to one of their favourites at our expense and the panel turns out to be independent after all! Bravo!

It's good to have that one put to bed; bad times for Bradford fans - they've been shafted by the previous owner, and if anyone knows how that feels, it's us.

Bring on Friday night - we need to start racking up some points.

Justice has been done.

The independent Sporting Sanctions Appeals Panel will hand down a full written judgement within the next 14 days.
should be interesting reading!

Yep, more faces than the town hall clock.

Surely part of the appeal process should be that the decision is final and binding for both parties?

Also, bearing in mind there were solicitors on the panel I am not sure what their initial legal advice was that those solicitors failed to agree with

The last time we had good news like this we got hammered by the crusaders when we stayed in sl

Let's hope the players aren't thinking were safe as a result of the decision. We need to win enough games to say we stayed up on our own merit

Will they keep appealing till they get what they want

Exactly !!! lets focus on winning enough games so that we will qualify for SL irrespective of the Bulls points deduction

Well if they do lets hope their legal costs spiral and force them into bankruptcy yet again.

Will this not lead to another 'force majeure'?
