We left Odsal because on top of the rent we also had to pay all maintenance of the ground which is rumoured to be 300k per annum. It doesn't feel like we can win. We stick at Odsal and go bust again because it's unaffordable, or we get berated for leaving and remaining solvent for a change.

Your only 7 miles away from Odsal, stay at Dewsbury and play in SL. It was OK for TWP to be 3,000+ miles away wasn't it?? You should offer your club to take their place for the rest of the season?.

I'm serious here, I was at the Bradford.v.Leeds Cup game, fantastic day.......How Superleague misses the Bulls......

If this were true re Toronto, wouldn't there be more reports from other journalists, not just one who seems to have a penchant to only report negative Toronto news?

One season I went to all three Leeds & Bradford derbies....

Bradford.v.Leeds 22,843
Leeds.v.Bradford 21,225
Leeds.v.Bradford 20,220

last time I went to the Derby Bulls were down and out of Superleague and struggling and it was a Challenge cup game, all pay and set to be a walkover.

Bradford.v.Leeds 10,256

No He got the exclusive from the player acting as spokesperson. Here we go.......

“Enough’s enough,” “I can’t remember the last time we got paid (by TWP) on time. We haven’t been paid for the last month. The thing is the stress that it puts on the team and people in that organisation is madness. “They don’t give a ****. There’s a lot of people owed money. It’s just a disaster. I don’t think people understand the mental stress it puts on people. Some of the players with kids, mortgages, bills – I’m worried. It’s crazy.“We get told the money will be a week late. And then the week comes and no money, and then the next week and the next week. What gets us is we get told on the night the money’s coming and then it just doesn’t come.

“We’re not doing anything until we get paid,” he admitted. “We’ve had 16 weeks off and the competition starts in two weeks, what do they expect us to have one week of training? Can you imagine the injuries? It would be catastrophic.”“The stress that some people are under right now is crazy.“You’re only getting 50 per cent of your wage, in these circumstances that’s fair enough, you’ll cop that. But when you’re owed two months wages as well that’s a lot of ******* stress on you.“I’m just trying to get through it day by day.”

So that's why super league need the bulls, on the back of three(3) selective attendances between them and the rhino's, according to your logic then Hull KR and Wigan Warriors should be exempt from relegation.

While on the subject of the rhino's, it will be interesting to see if any of their glory boy supporters will stay faithful now the peacocks are back in the premier league having abandoned them for the then new found success of the rhino's.

Yes, and when that is the case it is reported as an exclusive. They make a special note that it is an exclusive, this article did not.

Do some critical thinking.

You don't know much about the demographics of both Leeds Rhinos Fans and Leeds United fans do you, loads of Cas Fev Wakey fans are LUFC fans Leeds utd are a regional side massive fan base right across the country, York, Selby, Harrogate Wakefield met, Rhinos attendances wont be affected by Utd, the Rhinos where still the biggest Attended team in British Rugby Last time utd were in the premier league and champions league.
Sadly RL as an attendance problem across the game thats a real issue, but thats another story.
