I didn't say that it would be resolved today. Just asking for a little patience.

I've stopped following this thread as it reminds me of a long car journey with the kids.

I'm fed up with it all too, but in the end all I want is the best person to own the club.
If that takes a while then so be it...

I think you need to chill a bit, i was calling the administrator crazy not you. at the end of the day, what will be will be

Don't believe everything you read. Fingers crossed for you today.

Well looks like the ball is in the RFL's court. If the club is sold, it SOUNDS like we could have a decent owner with some cash. If not, good bye RL in Bradford. Simple.

I've had arguments if people who seem to think liquidation is a good thing as it is a clean slate.

We are the final die hards remaining and judging by the mood on here and social media, there is no longer the desire from the fans to build from scratch yet again (we've effectively done it the last 3 admins plus the daylight robbery from Hood) We would have no club, no players, and no ground. It would take months just to organsie and re-start a club. So an entire year without RL, those who may be still interested will have found something else to do. As Hamster said, it wouldn't be my club with a different name and a different ground. I wouldn't feel the emotional attachment i do with the Bulls.

Those saying liqudation is a good thing as we can start again and build from scratch and wrong IMO

Crunch time.

I hope that the bidder puts in a decent offer for the stadium with the promise of developing it. If the RFL refuse to sell then we clearly know where we stand.

Its not Judith Chalmers then as he wasn't interested in Odsal, maybe he's gone to Ibiza With Marc Green instead?
I'd say Madjeski and Irvine?

If its Sold then onwards and upwards,

If it's liquidation then I personally feel that the supporters and some other likeminded people have a responsibility to the past and to the future that RL doesn't become extinct in Bradford,

I watch matches with my 84 year old granddad who has been going to Odsal since the start his dad worked on the turnstiles in the 30's and 40's and my 3 year old lad, who loves bull man!
I've grown up watching the team and playing RL in the city, we have produced world class players to boot and will continue to do so.

I don't want that tradition broken, sounds soppy I know.

Isn't there a certain amount of irony that should the RFL were to withhold the lease completely and thus condemn the Bulls to liquidation but then still push ahead with their Rugby Museum in Bradford.

So the RFL museum would be in a city in which the RFL has (indirectly) killed the cities only professional club.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Tue Dec 20, 2016 10:22 am  

I get the feeling the prospective owner want the RFL to commit in writing that they will negotiate the sale of the lease to them for a fair price(in which the RFL want the maximum price it can get and prospective owner wants the minimum, usual staring contest hopefully the RFL blinks first)

Good point, I'd forgotten about that.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Tue Dec 20, 2016 10:24 am  

If the club does go under, perhaps the RFL could use their lease on Odsal to put the museum there. There's be no other bloody use for it after all.
