Why should you be in the Championship 1 that is not the lowest league on the pyramid, i am honestly really gutted this has happened honestly,but what i was trying to say was if the RFL had acted as if you are a totally new club (which you are) you should start at the VERY bottom, I personally wish you all the luck in the World, i actually want you back in Super League asap.

Could you please explain why Toronto have started in League 1 and not the Conference

Maybe the simple solution is to continue the lease at the same rate but the RFL retain responsibility for maintenance. They could do this quite easily with an under the counter deal which seems to be their favoured modus operandii

Sounds like favouritism to me...

Given your postings in the other threads I'm sure what you've put is accurate, even if it is puzzling.
All I will say is that if your son is/was a Bulls player or just a RL player in general, just be careful what you put on here because I'd hate for you to land him in hot water just to inform a few lost souls on a message board.
There are other parents of players on here too and I know that they have to bite their lip at times.

Just found out of my son that all players and staff have been told to meet at Odsal today at 4pm to meet the new owner. He's in a social media group which Leon have told all the players who don't have a club lined up to get to Odsal this afternoon. I asked how can this be possible with the club liquidated but on a message from Stuart Duffy he says the club technically hasn't been liquidated and is still in administration until the liquidation papers are in court. It all sounds positive news with Leon seeming confident a deal could be done as early as weekend.

Given your track record of getting calls right, I'm treating this with a lot more seriousness than if anyone else posted this, but wtf!!!! Still it is pantomime season right (cue suitable response)

The plot thickens...

Sounds positive though.

They will all be sat in the room with Fat Nige saying to players 'Hes behind You!!!'

I too would have thought the actual selling off of the remaining assets was the liquidation, rather than the announcement that it was to happen, which chimes in with that.

My understanding pre-liquidation was that most bids revolved around having the option to buy back the lease completely - is there any reason to suggest this would now not be a requirement of the bidders?
