And let's not forget former players giving away medals and shirts to be auctioned off.

Exactly. How much more help can they actually get, the RFL bought Odsal to help them out FFS !! If there is a miraculous interpretation of the rules to allow Bradford stay in the league (assuming they do fold) then it adds further weight to AP's comments about the RFL basically being bent. Akin to Kerry Packer, lets see Sky sack off the RFL to run Superleague and ditch Redhall



I have some sympathy for the Bulls fans but you reap what you sow. I remember how sympathetic other league members were when we had our "trouble". Many of them WANTED us to go under.

It's not up to the RFL. It will depend on a vote by the other club chairmen.

But did you actually go under? Sorry for nievaty but I was born the year SL started 1995! So I don't know too much about what happened to yous?

Some shiz happened and we merged with Gateshead.... (I don't know hardly anything about it either mate, was born a year before you)

Someone help us youngsters out?

We wanted to drop a Division to regroup & sort finances ( As Bulls should do ).

Championship clubs blocked that, strongly encouraged by our mates across the River. In the hope we would fold leaving one club in Hull.

Gateshead still had a place in SL but were playing to non existent crowds & zero interest & had lost shed loads of cask - chairwoman a certain Mrs. Hetherington.

'Merger' quickly arranged - franchise moved to Hull with guaranteed fanatical support & good revenues. Initially two full squads merged giving us 40 players.

At least thats how I remember it !!
