I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

I wonder how the players have taken the message they were getting from the RFL at 1pm when none of the players were in at that time.

I hope you're right Frank - from the links that Bullseye posted, Chalmers looks dodgier than Green and Khan combined...

I love Bradford SO much that when I go to internationals, I inadvertently shout "come on Bradford". Beat that.


It used to be the case that most of the team was made up of Bradford players - usually the Kiwi side...

Those were the days.

I don't think that was the start of the problem; the RFL had to do that deal to allow you to continue functioning, much the same as Keighley had to do.

The big problem started when you did the compensation deal with the council and thereby inherited all the running costs. That deal was a product of naivety mixed with vanity IMHO, and it must have been massively debilitating.

Before that, you were basically living like teenagers at home not paying board, living the dream, but not saving up for a mortgage.

I think that the whole compensation thing was tied up with the fact that we were going to put the money towards the development of the new stadium. This would have taken responsibility from the council and onto the Bulls. This together with the retail development would have funded the new stadium. where things went pear shaped was when the beloved Sir Ken put his two pennyworth in and stuffed the whole package. This was the start of the whole downfall, and not Harrisgate, despite the fact that we won titles afterwards. We could never square the circle of maintaining the old ground on our crowds over 14 fixtures a year.

we went to valley parade when new stadium was still a viable prospect. It was blocked whilst we were at VP and the compensation deal was agreed to get us back at odsal. Council wanted to condemn main stand or keep us at VP permanently. compensation money was never meant to go towards new staium as it had already died a death at that stage.

Sometimes it is so hard catching up on posts on this thread! Takes less time to read a Game of Thrones book! :LOL:

[geek]I think you mean A Song of Ice and Fire book. Game of Thrones is simply one book in the series and title of the TV show based on them.[/geek]
