Is this the RFL trying to absolve themselves of any blame when we are liquidated? Its sounds like that to be.

Still at least they will have protected a prize asset for the good of the sport. A sport that will no longer will be played there, and that is in fact dying on it's a@@e. They can be very proud.

If a new owner bought the freehold, then the RFL would be both the tenants & the Landlords of the Bulls at the same time. I'm not sure how that could be used for leverage, I'm sure its been discussed by all these developers.

Sounds like exactly that to me too.

What time tomorrow will they announce our liquidation tomorrow then?

Seems like 2012 over again. Investor willing to put money into a poor sport and poor club. Want lease which is only thing of real value, RFL won't budge. Investor walks away.

Maybe im looking at this simply but couldnt the RFL say OK heres the price, which includes safeguarding Bulls playing there and we'll sell the lease. Or am i just looking at it too simply?

Tomorrow a lot of people could lose their jobs, christmas wages and the RFL's safeguarding rugby in bradford going as well as their expansion program.

That statement just seems like the worse is coming tomorrow and RFL just covering their backs early.

Sounds like we're done then. The very best of luck to the RFL and their large concrete hole.

Well maybe we'll be saved at the 11th hour.

If not it's been nice knowing you all.

If we get out of this we should rename Bradford Phoenix..

I hadn't considered that aspect. Including the scholars, there'll be about 70 players, adults & kids affected. Probably 20 other staff. The adults have to consider mortgages, families. The scholars are having their dreams smashed.

But the RFL will be safeguarding RL for the long term....

Always been strong in the community and commitment to youth, unbelievable that the proven structure of such and it's value to RL grass routes development, counts for nothing.
