They had the same option as all clubs that had stumbled into admin before them. They are no different. Remember too that their Sky money amounts to more than every championship clubs RL monies added together.

Wonder who will draw up Bradford Bull's application for a franchise when the next application has to be made ?



Course a more sensible course at the end of the season would be for the game to return to the tried and tested and scrap licenscing.

The sensible and easiest way to sort this is let them finish this season and then let them go down and reform. you can't just wipe there fixtures off when the have beaten some teams and lost to others.

Their fixtures can be expunged whether they have played one game or twenty one. The clowns that are running the game keep lurching from one crisis to the next. Teams that are not fit for purpose should be kicked out of the game irrespective of their standing in the game. The SPL has shown the sporting world how to operate by putting Rangers into Division Three but it has gone un-noticed by the RFL blazers.



The clubs below the corrupt Super League old pals act have got to bite the bullet and set up their own body and seek finance from broadcasters for the excellent product they provide. It will be chaos and a struggle to start with but it the only way.

My thoughts on this Reffy are that the current SL clubs have been sold this by the RFL. The way I think they have been sold it is that they have promissed the current SL outfits that SL will be reduced to 12 teams with the money from the two teams being dropped is split between the 12 left in there. The one that has got the mucky end of the stick will have either got a sweetener or been told to naff off. Personally I think that will be Wakey. Bradford will have been told they are lucky to still be in existence so will go down with a sweetener. All clubs involved will have been told to keep their traps shut or all deals are off. Again I agree totaly that now is the time for the Championships to flex their muscles and tell the fools at the RFL that enough is enough.

I, as I sometimes do is offering a counter argument. Its healthy to have counter arguments rather than going all one way and the topic borders on farcical (ie like breaking away all over again). I cannot for the life of me understand why RFL or SL clubs giving up their monies to throw down the toilet of a failing business. There has to be a good reason behind the why's (or plain silly), and until the facts are known for sure and the conculsion to Bradford is finished its pointless going over board yet. Maybe just maybe this was the best option.

For the record, and its difficult to argue otherwise this whole thing is a embarressment. I would say kick Bradford out of SL as well. But my point of what I said was they are Bradford Bulls - in reality none of the current clubs in the Championship comp come close to Bradford for their status in the modern era. SL without Bradford will be a devalued competition. But that doesn't excuse what has happened, I am just saying.



As for results being scrapped and it being easy, of course it is. Again not my point I was making. It would be a mess and thousands of fans having paid to watch the games, and fans on TV seeing games just wiped off is bad. PL kept Portsmouth going to finish their fixtures to protect the competition value.

If all the points are deducted from Bradford wins,I think this will hand W#-~n the title,due to the fact the other top teams beat Bradford.We dont want this do we. Also i go to G/F every year,this year will be my last.

Judging by what Blake Solly told the bullbuilder organisation, if the deal goes through next week all players will be told they are free to look for other clubs to take them. Looks like there will be nothing for any buyer to buy. If that is true then it looks like no SL for the bulls next season

The best game in the world, BUT I hate how it's run....don't really care anymore to be honest. Why do we have Matalan Dragons, London Nofans, when is the next Welsh club gonna be in SL, or maybe Ipswich Jets ??

Let Bradford be liquidated (at the end of this season), and then a new 'limited company' can apply to start in championship one.

SOOPER LEAGUE = JOKE !

Over spend by 2 million to buy success, with top players and more cheap tickets for fans.Then RFL will look after you?



Why has Glasgow Rangers gone into the 3rd Division and not been saved?

Simple solution, Leyth buy Bradford, rename them the Leigh Bulls, and play at the LSV. Anyone got a few hundred grand spare?

This kind of thing happens in a lot of businesses, especially automotive sector, where a company (or several companies) either owns or has part ownership of a direct competitor.
