I can't understand why the Bulls are even being offered a position in Div 1 never mind the Championship. Today your club doesn't exist.

They should boot you out and see if another team wants to join Div 1 and also promote a team from Div 1 to the Championship. You've had chance after chance year on year and failed at every opportunity

Don't go on about Bullmania that is in the long distant past, the game needs to move on. This might be the kick in the B0llox the game needs.

Hard to swallow but face it.

So which club do you want to promote to the Championship ?

This might be hard to swallow but you're just another guy with a list of things not to do that literally nobody is doing.

There won't be a team in Champ 1 that wants to come up and in reality fight to stay up with the
Ikelhood that they will end up relegated. They have budget for champ 1 teams not champ, what effect on cash flow will getting hammered every week have for them? It's not rocket science

That's why we have been out here, as a further punishment and not to disrupt anyone else's seasons and keep the numbers even

maybe because when those teams got into difficulties they were treated differently?

Can we have the same treatment as the giants please? You could be forced to merge with Bradford and be called the Huddersfield/Bradford Bulls and we can quietly drop the Huddersfield after a couple of years? That's worked before? However, Hudds is the birth place eh? Can't let it die? No matter what? You certainly were treated differently. Remind me of the points deduction you got from that?

On reflection this is for the better,
With a clean slate we are £2m (reportedly) better off, can streamline staff wise.
And have only lost 6 competition points.
If we are bought by the right person next year maybe a bit tricky but to build we will be OK.

If Lamb and irvine get it they will honour season tickets too...

As long as your season ticket is honoured, who cares about the creditors who haven't been paid, or the players and staff who have lost their jobs? Yeah, it's definitely for the better. Better for you.

Quite simply with the time available the choice is put Bradford in a poor situation or disrupt 2 whol leagues

Put Bradford in a poor situation? We're getting preferential treatment aren't we? Like hell we are.

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Wed Jan 04, 2017 8:33 am  

Most, that is those not associated with the Bulls, would consider that they've had a lot of preferential treatment over the last few years!

I dont know Rohan Smith personally and publically the players same to like him however wasnt he the coach who dropped your best player in your most important position for your biggest game? (O'Brien, Feth)
For the budget available you could do worse than appoint Leon Pryce as player coach and get the U19's coachers to support him (beattie and Dunning top blokes)
on a budget of £500K you will be part-time this year, rebuild over 3 year period.
