The rumours regarding Bulls not making the start of SL 2014 are very strong indeed. Add in the factor that London are currently training with only 11 juniors onboard with 6 weeks to kick-off.



What's the betting on a 12 team league for 2014 and one-up one-down system in 2015 ?

Seem to think MC said at the last meeting it was a signed agreement?

Plus the small matter of 1.2M of central funding difference...

Go on then I'll bite?



1.2M difference is this in reference to the Sky money BB aren't getting because the RFL bought the iconic odsal and are therefore not dishing out Sky money to retrieve their cash back?

If it is then it 1.2m over 2 years of which only 1 of those years has passed and it negates the 1.2m given to the bulls in hidden loans that were then recouped by the RFL taking over the lease of the "Iconic" odsall landfill stadium

That'll be it, and you can probably add in another £0.5m that the former Directors trousered after the broadcaster, former players, other clubs and most shamefully, their own fans, chucked into the begging buckets last season.



No slight on the fans of the club by the way - I feel for them - but OK's and to a lesser extent AG's conduct makes a strong case for the fortunes of a club to be separate from the fortunes of a singe wealthy owner; it seems unfair that clubs can be brought to their knees by these people, dragging others down with them, only for them to walk away relatively unscathed, whilst the club is left in ruins.



I hope Bradford can be saved and hopefully, they'll cut their cloth appropriately and attempt to rebuild.

No. The money last year was shared between the other SL clubs (a decision made by the other SL clubs), now that really was shameful.

1.2m wasn't the amount shared out, it was half that and then shared between 13 clubs so that using my calculator makes a difference in central funding of a little over £46k HTH

Right so your original post was in reference to how we found ourselves in the brown stuff with financial matters and owners compared to Bradford, and how we were "fortunate" to have Glover who let go off his directors loans unlike OK.. and how we would be in deeper trouble if we had an owner like OK.



You then stated we would be in a worse posistion if there wasn't a 1.2m central funding difference between ourselves.



Now after clarifying yourself on this matter this is not the case.. but perhaps you should lay out what you are actually referring to rather than just a one-liner that is open to all kind of interpretation.

off you go and get your buckets out!! i posted on bulls forum 2 months ago about your paddle and a certain creek! but hey ! kopzak sykes and whitehead are all better off now !

Well 646k difference surely?

Small fry considering the £1.2m of additional central funding Bradford got the season before last.
