I appreciate what you're saying (really, I do) and as the governing body they darn well should have. However, understanding what those views are would be "helpful" not only to the fans but for potential bidders too, surely.



I'm a half glass empty bloke, at the moment, and the RFL statement [i"Throughout this process the RFL has to recognise its responsibility to safeguard the best interests of the wider game, the competitions and all member clubs." [/i gives me the uneasy feeling that SL doesn't hold any future for ANY Bradford side, regardless of WHO bids, for the short/medium term.



I just wish the parameters of the real options open to Bradford were visible.



Strikes me that there's a far, far wider set of agendas here, other than just my club stuffing itself . . . . . . . . .

Would it not make sense for some sort of agreement between all parties? If Khan gets the nod he will surely be looking at ways to maximise the use of the stadium?

I think this is the best way forward. I would probably go and watch BPA as well if they moved to Odsal.

I think too much is being read into the YP article.



The way I read it, the other SL clubs have all agreed that SL should remain a 14 club competition and have been updated on the progress of the bids for the Bulls.



There doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the Bulls WILL be in SL next year, and I suspect that if there isn't a business plan that addresses the historic debts then the Bulls will lose their licence.

the Jamie Langley article in the tna today confirms RDMs interpretation, that one obstacle is out the way whatever else remains

Fingers crossed eh?
