Angered by the feeling that the RFL took advantage of the Bulls financial position Chris Caisley has threatened to 'walk' the Bulls out of Odsal down to VP for a ground share, unless the terms of the tenancy are renegotiated to be even handed.



At last some leadership!

Took advantage of our position?

They lent us £700,000 and we never bothered to pay back a single penny of it.

Walk? From Odsal to VP?



Doesn't he realise how far far away it is? Not to mention the danger. They'll never make it there alive.

What the hell is he thinking????? You can't just walk through Manningham !!!!

If what I have heard was to be true,that the council have given BPA a substantial lease on Horsfall Stadium,with permission to do away with the running track,it would be a good time for the Bulls and the Avenue to get together and try and get Horsfall up to some kind of mutual standard and ground share there,maybe the season after next.



Then I woke up,Oh no dreaming again.

watching from the Shay waiting for you to approach us. classic.

Given the choice of going bust or merging with your lot i'd rather go bust, thanks anyway



And as for The Shay McLaren Field is in better nick

La-a-a-dies an gen'lmen





Fighting tonight, for your pleasure, in the first of an unspecified number of no holds barred matches for the vacant title of Champion of Bradford Bulls Survival......



In the RED amber & black corner after his one round knock-out over the previous champion is your own, your very own Chris "The Crusher" Caisley



In the black corner representing the Rest Of The World is first up target The RFL.



SECONDS OUT, ROUND 1



[iSo how do you think this first bout will go Frank?

I dunno Harry its a strange match-up so early in the series but the Crusher usually knows who to fight and when and invariably picks his home ground.

What's the strengths and weaknesses of these two then Frank?

Well Harry RFL is cumbersome and prone to defensive errors as we've seen in their fight against Widnes but they do pack a massive punch if they can land it.

On the other hand The Crusher is a dodger, light on his feet, with clever feints before delivering his trademark legal left hook that comes from nowhere.

So, Frank, do you expect a k.o. blow from either of them this time.

Not this time Harry, I think after some posturing it will be a draw, but a rematch is definitely on the cards unless their camps can come to an agreement

So why did the Crusher take this fight Frank.

Only he will know Harry, but he might gain fight supporters in his home camp as being the only fighter left fit for the title. He might be throwing down the gauntlet to his Rest of the World opponents that he is up for a fight

[/i

[iDon't forget Harry, last time the Crusher picked a fight it was against Garry 'Big Gaz' Hethrington and that loss by KO nearly cost the Crusher his career and definatly destroyed his reputation. I can only see one winner and that my friends is the RFL.[/i

Any links?

My request too.



For this and his earlier post, which sounded like it had come via Mr Noble.



"Leadership"? Or a very high risk strategy of picking a fight with your landlord and the game's governing body, on whose goodwill you will likely need to depend?



I'm not sure there are many precedents for successfully renegotiating a contract just because one party to the contract was in a weaker position than the other - or because its directors were maybe naïve or just crap? But I guess a senior litigation lawyer has as much chance of succeeding as anyone?

If true any sympathy and good will from the other clubs will go out of the windw. Arrogance from a positon of strength is unnaccetable but at this moment in time strewth. I hope he's got his facts right remember Iestyn.
