TBF, calling it as it is is generally frowned upon by a few on here. There are a few ostriches amongst the Bradford support, hence why being honest about the situation is usually dismissed as "trolling" or "bitterness."
The simple fact is that we have, as a club, at very best, acted appallingly for years, spending money we don't have, shafting local businesses who may well have gone bust due to business contracts with the club that do not get honoured (and the token 5p in the pound will hardly help). Local businesses that are not granted a session in parliament to be saved!
Add to that the lies, shocking treatment of staff and players and the fact that we have fundamentally failed to learn our lessons for the third time now is perhaps one of the reasons why some fans of other clubs are, quite rightly, lacking in too much sympathy.
Our membership of the RFL is the same as everyone elses' and we should NOT get preferential treatment in the slightest. I want the club to survive but inb the right way.
I concede that there have been bad decisions from the RFL that have hardly helped our progress but we are where we are due to years of neglect, mismanagement and the leadership of a succession of "dodgy geezers." We need to get our own house in order first.
