Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to reflect upon and celebrate the life of...



SCRAAAATCH!!! ...... don't do the eulogies before the funeral! Where there's life there's hope.



Carpe diem indeed, not carp/harp on.

Well it [iis[/i out of season and there's not much else going on.....

The success was a house built on sand, without solid foundations. Fans were sold a dream (and lived it for a decade) before the mismanagement of the club's finances by clowns in the boardroom killed the club. The days of Saints v Bulls rivalry were the best (from a neutral point of view) and I miss the Leeds v Bulls derby's (even though we usually got stuffed and had to endure Jimmy's gloating).



Hope things work out for you guys. Feel very sorry for the fans.

Feel sorry for you guys but it's not over. Take a 12 point deduction and make the middle 8s. You can do it. Get behind your team. I don't post very often on here but I have always said that Bratford are my second team. I have a Leigh season ticket but when I can I will come to Odsal. True fans of the great game are behind you. Good luck, you are still a huge club

I agree, it was built on sand, that's the correct term for it. The chairman's plan was that, if he provided ever more top line players, the results would get better and better and more and more would turn up at the gate. The flaw in his plan was that there is a natural limit to the numbers you can attract and there comes a point where, no matter how successful, the crowd won't increase. When that level was reached he just poured even more into the side and then blamed the fans in the press for not turning up. The only one to blame was himself.

It's got to be said that until someone said that the king had no clothes he wore the best suit in the country.(bit of the old cutting your cloth argument)

Yes it was worth it. I saw Trevor Foster crying at Murrayfield when we won the Challenge Cup.

Where the bulls are concerned it is all worth it!

Of course it was worth it.

Every memory of my life is founded on a backdrop of following Bradford through bad times & good.

Mostly good memories in my lifetime, but I will stick with them through everything that is yet to come. And god only knows what that will be....

It's interesting that most people on here castigate the Dark Knight for the condition we were left in but say that it was all worth it. We now get comments saying all w want is a stable club. Perhaps what we really want is the thing referred to in politics as Boom & Bust. 10 years success followed by 10 years of turmoil. A case of better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Bring it on. Perhaps we should change the motto to: Life's never dull as a Bull

I get what you're saying, but I reckon we'd have been fine without Harrisgate, and there was absolutely no need at all for it to ever happen

It was Superdome that did us when we switched from the peppercorn rent we were paying the council. Harrisgate was just the final nail in the coffin.

The Harris saga is an easy cop out. Caisley dealt with this in his open letter to the t and a .....

How and in what possible way is it a "cop out"? It cost us literally millions, money we didn't have, and greatly disrupted the team, including losing the services of Jamie Peacock. And this when Leon Pryce was already on our payroll.



Caisley didn't "deal" with it at all, as I recall, except mumbling something about the Bulls having said they had the huge payout covered from other funds. Oh, so that was allright then? That means it didn't cost us what it cost us?
