I doubt the club would want to be paying £72k + upkeep, per annum in the Championship. Which brings on the possibility that, if the club decides to take a cheaper alternative and moves out of Odsal, the conditions of the RFL's primary lease it would then become null and void as a Bradford team wasn't playing most of its games at the ground. Maybe the club could then retake the primary lease from the council........using peppercorn as the rent natch.



As for the rest it's very much a series of open questions; will the owner stay or go? how many players would we lose? [with no team being promoted, how many would actually get another contract elsewhere?, would many of them remain, but on lower contracts? How much effect will the new competition monies [and slightly higher cap for lower division clubs have on how many could be retained? Maybe most importantly, what is going to happen to the academy system and training ground?



I would hope a city the size of Bradford would attract more than a "couple of thousand", to be honest. With a team which is winning [oh dear gods of RL, please a few more games than recently and playing well, all be it at a lower level, I would have thought maybe 3 -4 K as a realistic baseline. Anyway, best we win as many as possible of these games, as said before, there is always the unexpected win or loss in the equation - let's hope for more wins.

I am saving up so that when we avoid relegation I can go to the pub and get pi**ed.

If we get relegated I can also afford to go to the pub and get pi**ed. It's a win, win situation regarding having a night out at the pub so not everything looks gloomy.

The Dog Fight starts here and Looking at both The Bulls and Wakefield's remaining fixtures i reckon that we have got by far the easier run in



IMO I believe we will need at least a 2 point return from the appeals committee to take the relegation battle down to points difference



Wakefield Wildcats remaining fixtures and my predicted outcome



London Broncos Home win

Wigan Warriors Home loss

Hull FC Home loss

Leeds Rhinos Home loss

Widnes Vikings Home loss

Catalan Dragons Away loss

Warrington Wolves Away loss

Huddersfield Giants Home loss

St Helens Away loss

Salford Red Devils Home Win

Castleford Tigers Away loss

Hull Kingston Rovers Home loss



I can see them only winning 2 more games this season against London and Salford = 4points



Bulls remaining fixtures and my predicted outcome



Salford Red Devils Away loss

Hull Kingston Rovers Home win

Warrington Wolves Away loss

Catalan Dragons Home win

St Helens Away loss

Huddersfield Giants Away loss

Wigan Warriors Home loss

Leeds Rhinos Away loss

Hull FC Home Loss

Castleford Tigers Away Loss

Widnes Vikings Preview Home Win

London Broncos Away Win



I can see us winning games against Hull KR, Catalans, Widnes & London = 8 points



Thoughts..........

Pretty much argee although I think we can take Salford as well!



COYB!!

Think the next few weeks are crucial. We cannot afford to lose momentum. Definite improvements needed. Definitely need O'brien to return and someone will have to step up and fill in Kaufusi's huge boots (Walker certainly isn't the answer, although I'm sure Cummins will stick with him. )Stand off needs addressing as well, Addy is too slow to be a half back. If we're going to stick with Gaskell at FB, i would try Brook in next week. Full bloodied challenge cup game, in which we have nothing to lose. Try him, let's see how he does.

I still think we are relegated unless we get all 6 points back, and i'm not expecting that.

I would hope that a deal could be done to keep Kafusi until the end of the season. Our pack certainly has more fight in it when he's playing and he seems to have had a positive influence on Nas and he seems to want to hit the line running now

Don't forget there is always Pandora's box.A lovely "girl" who is a bit of a tease but she will give you one hell of a ride/journey to meet her friend Hope.I'm surprised you've not come across her already Pumpety with the Bulls previous tribulations.Her fat mamma has not sung yet!Relagation is not a done deal ask Wakefield.

Damn.....



Agar has stepped down as Wakey coach!



Not the news I wanted to see today

If they get Morrison in as replacement, then that could be us done for.

Which would be quite ironic, really...

Nah, Agents Morro, Scruton and Sammutt know what to do

Not good news. He'sreplaced by ex assistant james webster according to the beeb;

Not what we needed ahead of their game with London, they'll proably get a boost from it being the new mans first game and beat London easily, whereas with agar in charge I thought London might have had a shot at an upset. Oh well, concentrate on ourselves and just try and get as many points as we can.
