I'll miss reading the idiotic garbage on the Bulls banter Facebook page! Seen the nut jobs wanting to protest against the RFL! Wonder how it went today?

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Thu Dec 15, 2016 11:04 pm  

I'm afraid i'd be in the walking away from RL group if the worst happens tomorrow. My interest in RL is solely the Bulls now. For a long time I would watch every live RL game going but my Sky Sports seems a bit pointless now as I hardly tune in to matches anymore. The times I do tune in the games are that poor that I end up watching something else.

Yet me and my dad and my bro when he can absolutely love going to watch the Bulls every Sunday together. At the start of the week I am already looking forward to the weekend game and spend the week reading the forums and stories about the Bulls on the website and Bulls TV. Even if the games arent that great it doesnt matter because it is our club which we love. Everything in terms of the youth structure and the new players Rohan has brought in is looking so promising and it would be such a shame to see it count for nothing.

I can't imagine supporting another team or a new incarnation in a much lower division playing somewhere else.

I so hope we get good news tomorrow. I'm out after work so will no doubt check the news before I leave the office and then go have several beers to either celebrate or say goodbye to what has been a great 20 years of supporting the Bulls.

Yep it's all or nothing for me tomorrow. I feel weirdly numb, I think I just want a decision now so we can move on. If it's liquidation then I guess I'm looking for a new professional sport. Probably try and get to some Speedway at the new Manc stadium.

I've been supporting the Bulls/Northern through the good times and the bad. It's the emotional attachment that can't be replicated elsewhere so if tomorrow is the end then it's the end for me in supporting rugby league in a physical sense, bar on the odd international game ever year or two.

I'm a Fax fan and have been for over 40 years and proud of it, but I really hope things work out for you. From a purely selfish point of view I'm hoping for the Bulls being in the Championship (2 exciting games to look forward to) but with a points deduction (we need all the help we can get next year).

Whatever happens, if you still have a team then support it. It's like marriage - for better, for worse. I couldn't support another RL team other than Fax, it's in my blood.

All the best in sport.

Good luck for tomorrow.

I still think there'll be a last minute reprieve, but it might just be another sticking plaster rather than a full-blown restoration of greatness.

But if it hit's the fan, you've had so many memorable experiences & no ongoing mismanagements can ever take that away from you.

If my club were to fold, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility, I would still watch a few games & probably enjoy them, but that feeling of passion would have died in me.

Once again, Good Luck.

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.

Clean slate..Hope all works out tomoz..

Reading the last few comments is humbling as there is comradery of feeling and support.We all feel the tension of fearing the worst and reflect on this great Club's good and less good times.When it's always been there I can't imagine moving on.Let's hope that today will bring about news of a rebirth and the prospect of a more secure future.I feel for the players and staff most right now and hope things at least work out for them.

Well today is the day. I have everything crossed.
