Some fair points made there thepimp007 and good luck for the future. I think the biggest damage Bradford suffered was over the "iconic" stadium lease agreement which didn't sit well with most non-Bradford fans. But as I'm sure many of your fellow supporters will point out similar deals have happened to Keighley and the like. Also with the success the Bulls had in the last decade there maybe a little bit of envy and satisfaction at the fall from grace. A bit like people wetting themselves over the Rhinos potentially being in the Middle 8s.
Yes can see why it may have ruffled feathers, but then we also had the bucket collections which a lot of people put into and can understand the frustration it didnt keep us from entering administration. The lease was bought from us because of its potential resale value in my eyes. Rugby has to be played there until 2019 then its a free for all if not renegotiated. If the lease was to be sold with the ground being used as landfill it could be worth a pretty penny.
Some people do like to see successful rivals falter. Don't get me wrong in 2016 when Leeds were struggling it was funny to see them lose games expected to win. But when the realisation that they could possibly be in danger of dropping from SL it stopped being funny for the good of the game. Leeds are massive and any loss of them to SL would be crippling I believe.
I'm not saying we could add the same value as them nor want a super league return unless its warranted on the field alone. Thanks for your unbiased and reasoned reply
