You know full well that the point being made, is not simply about being Salfords first game, it's about how every team starting a season on a high and with something to prove, seems to be given Wakefield at their home.

It does seem more than just a coincidence. But don't let that stop your one-eyed misrepresentation of the facts.

You couldn't make it up, could you?

We might as well go with it, maybe even produce a merchandising range in the shop to celebrate our stadiums iconic staus? You could buy Iconic Odsal paperweights to give to the special Wakey fan in your life? They'd like that Im sure.

Someone at the Club told me that, following the change of ownership, the club is rebranding as the Bradford Icons...

Re: Ownership of Club Changes : Wed Feb 05, 2014 11:06 am  

There's a fourth thing the RFL will need to consider and rule upon that doesn't yet appear to have received much attention:

1. Did the entity owning Bradford Bulls go into Administration?

2. If yes, are there mitigating circumstances (I.e. Effective arrangements demonstrably in place for paying off the creditors of that entity) warranting a reduction in the 6 points deduction penalty to 4 points?

3. Is the new entity owning Bradford Bulls sufficiently well capitalised to warrant the Super League licence being transferred to it? But also....

4. Were the new owners of the new entity owning Bradford Bulls also directors of the previous entity that suffered the insolvency event? If yes, are there are mitigating circumstances warranting exemption from the requirement under the RFL Operational Rules, that they be banned from owning/directing a rugby league club?

Where is that written down as the standard punishment? (i keep asking because people seem to know, as it is quoted often as apparent truth)

We were the only team to suffer 6 points, which also had a half sky money removed and distributed to rivals rider attached, is that also a standard punishment? Or do the RFL go case by case? Would 4 points reduced to 2 points be harsh enough?

Or do we need some more facts first?
