We are going to be the Bradford Bull Elephants, and they will be introducing our new mascot Nelly, a 45 ton African bull elephant which will do a parade lap before every home game.

Thinking about it, it can't really be that huge.

The RFL haven't allowed enough time for the section of Wakey/Fax/Hudds fans who were salivating at the thought of carving up our fan base to get their mouth-foaming accusations of favouritism/excessive cloth use/delusions of granduer off their chest. They wouldn't let Cha-low fan those flames just yet would they?

Imagine an announcement on selling the land, surrendering the lease and building a stadium with RFL offices at this present moment in time?? It would lead to mass apoplexy amongst the already rabid?

TotalRL's forums would collapse, RAB would be invaded and drenched with infected slobber, calls made for the new Bradford jersey to be made of horsehair would abound, demands for self flaggelation by all Bulls fans before each game, 10 Hail Mary's, 5 Our Fathers...darkness for 40 days and 40 nights, cats and dogs living together? It's too much to contemplate...

I'm certainly not getting my hopes up (again)

I'm expecting it to be something and nothing - and then, if it actually is 'huge' - I can be pleasantly surprised.

Wasn't greens first big announcement that they'd put a pattern of concentric circles on the pitch?

I won't be the only one who's cynicism is now so deep it's technically a tattoo. So when I read huge I assume it's that they've relaunched golden gamble worth an extra 50p.

When you say huge you set a certain expectation and I'd love it to be accurate.

Less than two weeks to go. Have you actually pieced together a squad yet? The only thing I can find is 12 players listed on wikipedia, but that's still got Rohan as coach.

Bradford will rise again, its not the first time they've completely folded (60s wasn't it?). Just don't want it to be at our expense.

Maybe it's the time of arrival and flight number of the new coach? Then we can all turn up at the airport to say hello?

I'm sure we have, oohh, at least, 2 full threads on that, last time I looked...

My bad. Found the new wikipedia page. Good luck for the season and may we both get back to SL ASAP.

It might be to do with the ground but I suspect that may take some time yet – if it happens.
