Every time this type of debacle happens with the owners / RFL all we seem to get from people is: you the fans need to realise this/that, you are a lost cause, your are in cuckoo land, you have no chance of surviving.
Why don't you lot just direct your comments to the people who cause this mess and not the loyal fans who have to put up with all this crap year after year.
Just stand back and be thankful your team has not been in this kind of S%^T like we have for years which is not the fans fault.

We have some snide visitors who are unable or unwilling to differentiate between the club and its fans. If we back the new owners we get called "Happy clappers", and if we are cynical and sceptical we are berated for not giving them a chance. If you look at the debacle of this club and conclude that the fans are fair game then you're an absolute dick.

Ha
He text me yesterday to ask if I’ve heard anything. How wrong is that, the players haven’t got a clue

Re: Bulls Takeover : Sun Oct 13, 2019 11:42 am  

Hi Roger it's wrong on so many levels especially for the players like Elliott who absolutely love the club. I feel for them as they have been promised the earth by another chancer who has done a running. If he hasn't then why is Ac not saying anything as he usually has plenty to say. The Rfl should hang their hein shame how can they put people in charge of this once great club who have no idea

Yes mate it really is a disgrace. I guess once again the full facts will never come out, I think we’ve all read this book before.
It is strange Chalmers silence is deafening isn’t it, with him normally having so much to say about other people.

Whats the latest on the players that invoked termination of thier contracts? I believe Bradford's 7 days for appeal for a few of them was up on Friday.

A source has informed us that an appeal was lodged; but we did not witness said act personally, so we (as is often the case) are reliant on the words of another.

From an objective legal viewpoint it would appear that the players contracts were irrevocably breached, but the RFL live in a somewhat of a subjective La La Land, and do of course have the power to hold a gun to the head of any player. We understand, but are not certain, that if a club's appeal is upheld then a player would likely at first sight have to abide by his contract and presumably his (or in this case their) only recourse would likely be to go to a court/tribunal, or a UK based independent arbitration service and/or the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Sadly either option would be costly and possibly not realistic. Even vulture type sports lawyers will not act for free; even those who we are are told sadly let down certain RL players a few years ago.

You are right. But there is hope .... have a modicum of trust in 'us'. We are using the forum to somewhat gauge the views and reaction of our fellow (and in reality even more dedicated) Bulls fans to the ongoing debacle. Yes it will get worse before it gets better, but we feel there is some hope; but we can offer no guarantees.

P.S. We have never been to La La Land and have no intention of ever going there !

Maybe use it to gauge the reaction to your own posts? On the basis of the replies it would be a good idea to stop posting.

The problem here is that this forum consists of one person who spends all day on here pretending and the other half of the posts are from just a small handful of bulls fans - some of which don't even go to games. This means it can't be used to judge the feelings of the Bulls fans who have other and probably better things to do with their time.
