Well said.

Agree the RFL supported us with a loan BUT they got that back whentheybought the lease. I have no complaints about the support we did receive, my issue now is that the Message from the RFL is we want the Bulls to survive but are not consistent with their actions.

So we limp on then til the end of the season. Probably without a coach soon, unless Nobby parachutes in and takes over from Potter when he inevitably departs.

The endgame will be at the end of the season.

Make the most of this one while it's going on!

The plain facts are if the RFL hadn't helped us out we would be in even worse crap now, I'm sick and tired now of listening to so called bulls fans bitching on how badly done to they are, nobody knows what gun the abc consortium are holding to the RFL's head, yet you all reckon to be in the know.

They've thrown bucket loads of money our way in the last 24 months just to keep us afloat, they didn't have to, why should the RFL look weak and bow down to this group when one of them has just taken his bat and ball home!

It makes me sick that people think they have the right to demand when they havent got all the facts in front of them!

Bradford and the sdminstraters have got is into this crap not the RFL, as a fan of this club for 30 years I couldnt bring myself to support them again I knew we had heald a gun to the RFL's head. We are family club with (I thought higher morals than that) a a reputation of being honest, I couldn't support knowing we had ridden rough shot over everything we stand for!

Selfish and ungreatfull springs to mind regarding some so called fans!

I hope everyone's quite happy with themselves who screamed for admin, it's turning us into a soiled little club!!!

Rant over!

You say it like you know the consortium are doing something wrong. You know that do you? All most of us see is the RFl turning down two offers. Yes, we don't know the content of them. Maybe some transparency would be nice.

So they should just of written off the £700,000 (if I remember correctly) loan?! You really are having a laugh.

Blake Solly has said today that the RFL are considering paying the August wages after a request from BG. If that's not helping out I really don't know what is.

Agree it's help but not a gift - if we survive we'll receive less cash in future. Why are they advancing this help yet putting huge obstacles for buyers if they were treating us as a special case

I think we can all draw our own conclusions about that. I know I have.

A loan which was repaid by them taking on a lease which will become a massive millstone if there is no SL club to play in the stadium.

Personally I think the RFL have acted stupidly getting involved at all, opening themselves up to all sorts of accusations and allegations from other RL clubs about their actions and motives. That there are Bradford fans who are doing so is quite bizarre, they're probably now wishing that instead of buying the lease to try to cover up their secret loan they'd just got a winding up order issued instead.

Because they're helping you survive as long as possible to find a suitable buyer!

Re: Latest state of play posts only : Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:03 pm  

No, they are helping to keep us going to the end of the season as its in their (and Superleagues) best interests to do so. I would expect our treatment to change markedly after that.
