So much for the people that said things would be fine.

They still might be. It's the Bulls for goodness sake, anything could happen.
The one thing it won't be is straightforward, or easy or painless...

If you watch the season ticket promo video it kind of sticks it in and snaps it off given green probably knew the writing was on the wall at the time.

Yep "if we go up you have next year on us!" Lying nice bloke! Just so he could claw cash in so the file didn't look as bad and show up that he was running the club insolvent.

In hindsight the writing was on the wall long before wasn't it and I still hoped for the best and bought a season ticket. At least if they're liquidated I can do claim back on the credit card and bin off rugby league.

Feel sorry for the kids going without this Christmas because their present was supposed to be a season ticket and their mum & dad can't afford to buy anything else.

I hope that cockney nice bloke comes a cropper. And that prick Hetherington that gave him a personal reference and that fat nice bloke at the RFL that keeps signing these shiesters off.

I hope that it is good news for Bradford. I will be watching, and waiting, with interest tomorrow.

Cheers, you won't be the only one! I'm not convinced it'll be finalized tomorrow,but we'll see....I'm not sure i want to look tomorrow, someone let me know when it's all over.
I'm guessing if it is decided one way or the other I'll be needing a drink tomorrow night

Yep, if the worst happens can't say I am looking forward to breaking news to my kids, and then they have loads from club shop they will get over xmas just to remind them and start them over again

Feels awful waiting for tomorrow. It could really be it. That would be it for me with RL.

Followed home and away, given as much money to the clubs we've visited through programs food and beer etc as well as a lot of money on my own club. Gone to as much international matches as possible and brought the entire souvenir shop at the last WC.

But that would be it. I would walk away from the sport. I wouldn't have the commitment to start over in league 1 after i gave a lot of money to the pledge and endured 3 adminstrations and a relegation.

Those saying liquidation is the best bet are deluded as we would have no players and no ground and the heart and desire has been ripped from the die hards.

I've not followed the bulls for as long as some on here but I've been there for the good times and many bad ones.

Being born and need in Lancashire I had plenty of teams to pick but I popped for the Bulls and they great players over anyone else, Wigan at home in 2010 was my fave memory I think especially as my ex supported wigan and was giving me stick at half time.

F this is the end I think it would be fitting for the club to open the ground once more for us to pay our respects as it where maybe a BBQ with the squad then we can all move on, don't think the desire will be there to create another team in the bulls ilk, maybe community but nothing on the same scale.

Or a candlelit vigil.

I'm tempted to get some champagne in to celebrate with, as well as some rum to drown sorrows with. Hedge my bets. Nah frig it, I'll get whisky in, that works for both celebration and commiseration!


On a more serious note, I've seen a few people say they'll walk away from the sport. Whilst I understand that, I personally wouldn't. I enjoy watching neutral games too much. Would I find a new team to support? No, probably not. I'd become a fan of the sport rather than a particular team. But I'd still hate Leeds.... * I think without a team to follow and love though, my love and interest for the sport would no doubt fall away a little.



*Leeds Fans - I'm joking
