Being bankrupt and being in administration are two completely diffferent things.

yeah i get that.

but a person like me and you with our personal finances wouldnt go into admin, we would declare bankrupt.

bradford have no dollar, neither did leeds utd.

nobody decided to help Leeds out at the time with 35,000 fans and a rich football history, why do bradford fans assume that a saviour will arrive at odsal?!

I firmly believe that Red Hall knew the Bulls were going to the wall. They didnt step in a few weeks ago to buy Odsal to help the Bulls they wanted their money back. They know that when the bulls go into administration they (RFL) are at the lower end of the creditors who need paying ie Tax Man, Bank etc. Im not a Bulls lover by any stretch of the imagination but i think they have been shaffted by Red Hall as much as the problem is of their own making

Good God above! I've come on to our forums today to have a read about our important game tonight. Couldn't help but have a read through the recent posts on this thread tho.

Some people really don't live in the real world do they? Apparently we gloat and are taking enjoyment in some of this.

Well, to be honest we probably have every right to but maybe if a bull fan actually walked a mile or so in the shoes of a championship club then they might actually start to understand why we are frustrated, annoyed, wound up etc.

I read this morning that Steve o conner has lobbed ten grand to the collection because the bulls deserve the support. I may be doing him a disservice and I apologise if I'm wrong but were Leigh not deserving last year when his club were in our league? Or keighley for that matter? Nope, this is just another clear example of double standards, the nose is in the closed trough so f you jack.

Hopefully some of this money can be put towards the five year contract given to The bulls brightest star a few days ago. Here you go kid, sign there, we'll be out of business by Easter tho.

I refer to a post I placed a few days ago, it All stinks to high heaven. Start to see our frustration and don't moan when you read stuff you don't like. For the record hardly anyone wants a fellow club to fold, We just want fairness.

Rant over.

What that was was column inches in national newpapers and on websites mentioning Widnes that 10k wouldn't buy.

Fair comment.

FWIW i think the Bulls supporters would be mad to raise the required monies to stave off administration.It will still leave the people in charge that have got them into this mess.

Exactamundo.

Also, they could raise £700k and just say, well, good effort but no cigar. We'll take the money anyway (Directors) and then we're going into administration. Ta very much.

Trust surely has gone out the window?

Re: bulls going bust : Thu Mar 29, 2012 9:40 pm  

WOuld you trust giving any money to a set of idiots that have lied and kept you in the dark and manage to get your club to within weeks of closure? I wouldnt no matter how big a fan I am. In the worst case scenario a Bradford team could reform under new management in Championship 1. But most of the fans wont support that as its below them and they only want SL.

I think the Fans should have said we will put the money forward to the Supporers group ( Bullbuilder I think they have) and then either they give you the money on such a date and the promise Hood and co all resign and a new board come and run things. If not the Supporters club keeps the money until either a new board or a new club come and hand over the money then. The poor fans dont deserve to be treated like this even if they are Bulls fans

Re: bulls going bust : Fri Mar 30, 2012 8:02 pm  

I have just been browsing through a well known auction site and have seen for sale some especially printed tickets to get in to a Bulls game the tickets have printed " Get in for a special price of a £5 .Well whose idea is this because the match was the Bradford v Leeds one. Not too many years ago this fixture would have seen a sell out for the Bulls , this year they are certainly selling themselves cheap , I cannot understand their thinking .They have already given practically everyone in Bradford a season ticket for next to nothing so who were the specially printed tickets for? Well whoever they have been printed for is floging them to potential Leeds fans who would have paid a proper price to get in ,talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Re-structuring of the Championships. Four promoted from Championship 1, none relegated from Championship, all part of the expansion conspiracy looking at the clubs already accepted into the Championship. Exactly the same as SL. Oh, hang on a minute.....

Re: bulls going bust : Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:19 pm  

Can't understand why anyone is offering to help them out? If they go out of business they will have no problem in doing a Leeds United and starting up again with no debt.
With the RFL being the landlords for Odsal they will be eager for a new tennant, i.e. the reformed Bulls (or maybe another name like Northern). Losing their franchise would do them a favour, they could see how the other half live, and with no debt they would sail up through the lower leagues if their fans stayed loyal. They would then be welcomed back into Duper League with open arms like the prodigal son.
