Your correct about the summer bash, maybe a team should be promoted and given the extra funding available. There are a few players available now. What makes a zero day old Bradford club with no history or track record more worthy than Donny, Barrow or Keighley?
I understand its an emotive subject, but the fact is the new club has no history or standing in the game. Purely a geographical location. Putting the new club into the Championship is a cop out from the RFL who don't want to have to work out the technicalities.
There is no extra funding. Read the statement a new club would be entitled to the minimum central funding with the difference going towards closing the current club. RFL will end up with a lot of costs to cover over this.
I only want what's best for Bradford Bulls in the long term and that I feel means a proper set up with a proper plan. IMO that means sitting out this year and applying with finances, a new ground and players roster and coaching set up in place.
If that means as a part time CHamp 1 team then so be it.
Do I care that the other clubs and RFL will be out of pocket in the short term? Not really. I think it's bad but the blame lies squarely with the people that casued this not the players, staff or fans of the now liquidated club.
I don't even feel like revenge against small minded idiots like you. Yes your club would lose out on cash it probably budgeted for but I don't gain any pleasure out of that. Bigger issues right now.
