No.

| Quote The Devil's Advocate="The Devil's Advocate"I don’t remember Bradford, it was Catalans, Hull & strangely enough Huddersfield, the Andean Condor of vultures
.'"
Didn't they circle Wakefield for Ben Jeffries?
I'm surprised their circling of Salford only resulted in picking off Adam Sidlow but they were knowingly skint at the time, so any more pickings might have looked like stealing
Circling Wrexham proved a tad more worthwhile when they came away with Jarrod Sammut and Elliot Kear.

| Quote The Devil's Advocate="The Devil's Advocate"Actually Wakefield got no support & no assurances, but at least certain vulture clubs took some of their better players for paltry amounts.
After reading the Rimmer stuff it may be better for a SL club to go into administration this season rather than next.'"
The RFL might change the rules on administration and say 2 years. That way thats 1 club relegated, and all it would want now is another club to go the same way. That gives them then a 12 team super league without too many big drama's.

Ah, you just want to be crassly stupid. You should've said, though I might have guessed. Crack on.

If Bradford have secured a "bridging" loan from a bank, then how come it's taking a week to sort out funds?
Also, is borrowing money from the bank on the promise of future ticketing revenues not very similar to some of the actions of early 2012?
Catalan and London next up.....10,610 and 10,132 last year, before the August wages are due to be paid......then with Huddersfield...who should be chasing the hubcap.....so could be a 15k bumper crowd. Then 5 months of no home games and a reported 1 million quid to find in wages.....and the interest on the 200k loan.
Queue bucket collections galore by the middle of February 2014!

Quote bridgingBulls co-chairman Gerry Sutcliffe last week told the Telegraph & Argus how the club needed new investment after a year in which only 6,500 season tickets were sold and crowds have averaged well below 10,000'"
Also, out of interest, if The RFL own the lease on Odsal, what exactly are Bradford borrowing against this time?

So bradford are almost back to square one, losing money and needing new investment....again?
The club is dying. They managed to survive all that once, by the skin of the teeth, but if they have to go through that again i doubt they'll survive. An ailing club.

| I remember SL Backchat a couple of months ago and was surprised by this:-
The restructuring for next year was looking at a reduction to twelve teams. Rod Studd said to the 3 guests (Stevo, Andy Wilson and I think it was Danny Lockwood) who will be the 2 to leave SL in 2013. All 3 replied London and Bradford.
I wasn't surprised by the London comments but Bradford was a strange one at the time. Did they know something wasn't right then ?
