To be fair, I think j.c. is (for the right reasons) suggesting an alternative light at the end of the tunnel. Albeit feasible/not.

At the moment there are a dwindling number of tunnel options available to us; the light is barely visible in any of them; and at the moment we (as fans) do not have a say on the current tunnel Mr Reet-Petit is going to take us down.

I think Bulliac's comments on the difference in expectation between Park Avenue and Bulls fans is understandable and fair; we have been at the top, so our expectations will be that level for some time.

But I'm happy to keep the "fan-run team" in the back-pocket and revisit it after the vultures have finished picking the Bulls carcass clean.
I am by no means wealthy, but I'm happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with other passionate fans and put my money where my heart is.
We did it before; and we got our fingers burnt; but we'll learn from that; and not have some greedy egotistical business man steal our hard earned cash again.

The RFL have made a very clear statement that they want to keep a RL club in Bradford.

Lets face it - we may not think it will work - but in the next few weeks it may be the only option left if we want to support a Bradford based RL team

The catalogue of catastrophe that's been allowed to continue time over time is absolutely unbelievable and here we are at D Day.

Two bidders remaining which quite frankly have submitted bids bordering on the unacceptable.

Isn't this where the RFL come in with negotiations over the lease? They are working a solution to ensure anyone buying the lease can only use site for rugby aren't they?

Let's not be too hasty on the Leo Group bid. Were it not for a couple of posters on here and a twitter rumour, you wouldn't even know they were even bidding. Their name has not been mentioned by a single professional journalist yet. They themselves have not uttered a single word about this publicly.

Not sure where this talk of a biomass plant and no love for the club has come from. I think people are just making assumptions based on what little info they have at this point, which is fair enough, but at least wait until something official comes out before you write them off.

These are not involved.

The claims that a fan ownership model wouldn't work are nonsense. It can, and does work work with clubs that are smaller, larger and similar sized to the Bulls.

If those saying it wouldn't work mean we would not be back in Super League in a couple of seasons, then yes, it wouldn't work.

Wrong.

Where are the fans willing to give up time and money who have the expertise to run a club?

Anyone with that sort of resume has long since got disillusioned. The catalogue of misery has gone in too long.

I speak from experience as someone who chaired both BullBuilder and BISA. The people willing to do something have dwindled and many like me have had enough.

Do you know they were "bordering on the acceptable" or is that a summation?

Still trying to workout your user name,

KCN = Keighley Community Nursery

and BABT - because you meant to type BABY (as in nursery) and you hit "T" instead of "Y"?

Am I close?

No. Things never progressed from the meetings in the Southbank with the administrator and RFL.

Liquidate the club and miss the 2017 season before rejoining League One in 2018 as a phoenix club is my prediction.

It's looking increasingly like a future at Odsal is not a viable option , is there any potential council support that could result in a new stadium being built ?
