I assume they've asked their biggest supporter Nige to pledge towards the £500,000?

In the early 2000's I was working in Bradford and had to pass Odslum every day. Every day I had the pi$$ taken out of me for being a Halifax fan. Every day I had it shoved down my throat about the 'Bulls'. Every day during the 2002 and 2003 season I was reminded about how crap Halifax were.

Every day I reminded them that one day they too would face financial problems as the club was not built on solid foundations. They were a club doing well but not building for the future. They were a club who one day would face trouble. I told them to enjoy their time at the top and come back to me in 10 years time and we'd talk again.

Well my Bull loving friends - as a Halifax fan I am having a right good chuckle.

As a rugby league fan I hope they can survive this. They are after all a proper rugby league club. We'll maybe see you in the Championship soon.

Wonder if our attendances will go up now the Bulls are going pop? Will the glory hunters return? Bull power!

Seems us, "flat cappers" were right all along about the reasons the RFL bought odslum. Poor Bulls fans believing the hype!

Wonder if Adeybull is still gnawing on his bone over on the VT?

"The following clubs are awarded a B grade license:-
Bradford Bulls"

"I will not have my club associating with the likes of Featherstone Rovers"! (Caisley. c 1995).

Blow on my big fat ginger botty Caisley you arrogant sod. (and yes I realise Caisley has nothing to do with this currebt Bulls set up... those some of the current BoD will argue they are now paying for his administration way bach when)!

It says "We just put the clubs that we want into Super League"

Nothing more needs to be said. The whole process needs reviewing and applying properly or canning.

The RFL - they need to go but please no Hetherington taking over

Does a Grade B license mean ... B for BANKRUPT

5 clubs received a lower grade license than the bulls, how are their finances looking?
