So how are folks on here feeling about tomorrow? I pretty calm about the whole thing to be honest. If we don't get the nod then we carry on as we are and get to compete in a really good Championship competition. My concerns as stated previously are what the future holds post 2021 for the Championship.

If we get in, then it is clearly a tough challenge ahead but one that I suspect John Kear is well suited to and will get us at a least a fighting chance of.

Must admit I have been taken aback a little by some of the stuff being posted about the club by journos and fans but I honestly do not believe there is a stand out candidate among the 6 and all of the clubs offer something to varying degrees. It will be interesting to see which way the panel goes and I wish any of the other 5 the best of luck if they get the nod!


It has been laughable the meltdown from grown adults. We're not ready to go up. As you say though, there's pros and cons to all the bids and it's down to someone's opinion.

Lile I said I don't want us to go up to be cannon fodder, I'd rather we have another year building on the championship. But a small part 1of me wants us to go up just to see the salty tears of some individuals.

My personal opinion is its not a 3 year license so whoever the goes up has to be ready to compete with SL and have the squad depth to cope with covid (which will still be around next year) for me Leigh with Beaumont backing them, Toulouse who look very strong and London with their academy are the choices for me.

Only thing is matey there may not be funding in 2022 so how can we build... wouldn’t parachute payment be the best way to go if you know what I mean?

Mind you, the screams and tears from fans at other clubs should we get the spot, that would probably be worth it :lol:


Must admit the bile's been brilliant. Shows we are still a bit of a big deal when you can live rent free in their heads after all these years. Still we are the RFL's pets and should be a shoe in.

The amount of times I've seen this recently...It still astounds me how many people actually believe the drivel they spout,

Heart says SL, head says keep building in Championship.

Like others have said, the amount of boiled p1ss on social media about us potentially going up is enough to make me want it that little bit more.

If it weren't the imminent financial shafting of the Championship then yes it would be fine to stay and earn our promotion. But the future for our division looks pretty uncertain. I'm expecting this is where we are staying for now so we have all that to navigate.

At the beginning of all this I didn’t want Bradford to go up and suffer from the disadvantages etc. But now, seeing all the other fans constantly have a go, I bloody hope we get it and stay up.

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Its Leigh.

Let's hope we pass them on the way down at the end of next season.

I have heard that the representitives from France are insisting that there is a guarantee of a level playing field when they play at Odsal.
Those bloody Europeans and their level playing fields!

Confirmed as Leigh. Happy for them and happy for us too. I know there are worries about future funding but this was a poisioned chalice for Bradford.

Weve been forced to compete with one hand tied behind our back on a few occasions. Another wouldn’t have been good for us
