Just heard on Look North that Super League clubs have voted to keep us in Super League next season providing we get a "Suitable"buyer

I think its more a case of the ' most ' suitable , rather than actually suitable now

There is a much more positive article in the on line Yorkshire Post this morning timed at 8.33. (Sorry I am too much of a computer numptie to be able to add it. Not much past using a quill and ink) Once more it shows up the T & A.

How, does this show up the T&A?

Super League clubs, many of whom originally thought Bradford should be demoted into the Championship for falling into administration, yesterday came together to give a significant vote of confidence for one of the sport’s most famous names.

Ever since the West Yorkshire club was placed in administration on June 26 they have known that, as well as being deducted six points, their Super League licence could critically be revoked for breaking insolvency rules.

The RFL board of directors, ultimately, still has the power to enforce that action but it is now extremely unlikely to move against the will of such a dominant majority.

Given the bits in bold, does this mean the decision wasn't unanimous by the Clubs?

Huddersfield want us to go down so they can poach half our squad, sponsors, supporters and anything else they can get their hands on apparently

SL clubs are hardly going to set a precedent that might affect them ie booting a club out for having serious financial problems are they. Enjoy your love in.

It says on BBC sport that they are looking at two bids now, one being Bradford park avenue. I have been on holiday for two weeks, am I missing something?.

Re: Latest state of play posts only : Thu Aug 23, 2012 5:09 pm  

There are still 3 bids in play. However the SL bid is being positioned as a fall back should the other two bids not make the grade.

The BPA bid, I think, would be best going forward from a sporting pov.

I just hope there truly is light at the end of the tunnel

Would it not make sense for some sort of agreement between all parties? If Khan gets the nod he will surely be looking at ways to maximise the use of the stadium?

I think this is the best way forward. I would probably go and watch BPA as well if they moved to Odsal.

I think too much is being read into the YP article.

The way I read it, the other SL clubs have all agreed that SL should remain a 14 club competition and have been updated on the progress of the bids for the Bulls.

There doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the Bulls WILL be in SL next year, and I suspect that if there isn't a business plan that addresses the historic debts then the Bulls will lose their licence.
