Well, well it seems that what has happened is that the Bulls are up to their necks in it, and needed a million plus to continue operating, so they have sold their lease to the RFL for a seven figure sum

Thats right, not the council who own the place, the Bulls get the million plus

If the Bulls are uable to pay the rent, willthe RFL chuck them out?

So Halifax were denied super league because we didn't have a benefactor prepared to prop us up!

How silly our board must feel to know the RFL are in the business of propping up clubs, if only they'd asked eh?

Still why would the RFL invest in a club they know the RFL will never allow into super league!

Great eh?

So the Bulls have only sold the Lease, not the actual stadium?

So if there has been "Predatory Approaches" as per the RFL article, these "Predators" could still approach the council with a view to buying the place, and (albeit expensively) buy the Lease back from The RFL?

Here's how Nigel Wood assesses the "worth" of the Stobart deal: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/16729988.stm In return for sponsoring Super League, the RFL get no cash (they're good at clinching these no-cash deals aren't they?) and instead get advertising on 100 of Stobart's 2,250 strong fleet. So folks, how much do you reckon that's "worth"? "I've heard estimates ranging from £1m to £2.5m (per year) in terms of the marketing value of this association," said Nigel Wood. Where from Nigel? The voices in your head? Is he 'avin' a laugh? He then goes on to explain that "their new deal will enable them to bring on board additional commercial partners as part of a multi-layered package". They should just come out and admit - this was the best deal on the table because no-one else was prepared to come in with a cash offer instead of spouting this "multi-layer" bollax. He's full of it and too many people lap it up. Predatory my ar5e.

apparantly RFL already "own" Cougar Park ........

Just to clarify, the RFL do not own Cougar Park, the Co-op do.

Originally, Keighley owned their own ground and a considerable amount of the land around it. Many moons ago they cashed in by selling it to the co-op then leased part of it back (the bit with the ground on). A familiar story for many clubs.

This lease came to an end a couple of years ago and Keighley got the RFL to help negotiate a new one. The upshot being that the RFL ended up with the lease and Keighley had an "underlease". As far as I am aware it didn't effectively cost the RFL anything. Keighley still pay for all the work on the ground and buildings.

Whats happened to Faisal?
I'd love to know how much Probiz paid into RL or whether they did tax returns in exchange for shirt sponsorship.
I'd estimate the value of RL at approximately 20,000 taps from Homebase, to be used in Red Hall over the next 2 millenium. That should see us right, strength to strength.
RL is turning into a Mark 3 Ford Escort with Spoliers, a fat exhaust, a two tone spray job and 60w speakers belting out DREAM - Things can only get better.
