| Post subject: | How Bradford's situation affects the rest of Superleague |
I was just wondering, in the event that Bradford can't fullfil their remaining fixtures after easter, would all teams automatically receive the 4 points for the two Bradford games they would have played? If that was the case, would Hull KR's loss to them the other week be overturned and Rovers receive the 2 points? Whats your thoughts? I know this is about another club so their are arguments about it being on the Rovers forum but it does affect us. |

I would imagine all results involving Bradford will be wiped from the records.Whats your thoughts?

If that was the case then a lot of teams would get at least 1 bye thoughout the season some even 2. |

Lets hope it doesn't come to this and Bradford find a route out of the mess. |

Basically the RFL buying Odsal ensures that if the Bulls go under and come out as a new club, they still have somewhere to play and also means that the RFL wouldn't lose out as a creditor if the Bulls went into administration. |

Hope they pull out of this mess, shame to see any club starting to falter and a big name like Bradford is an extra blow. No doubt the vultures will be circling and rubbing their hands with glee. |

I'd like to say it doesn't bear contemplating, but clearly it has to be. I'm honestly at a loss for what would happen. Fingers crossed (that's the best strategy I can offer!) for them and here's hoping it isn't the tip of the iceberg for the whole sport. edit: a share issue might have worked, a request for donations is unlikely to, IMO. |

Indeed.edit: a share issue might have worked, a request for donations is unlikely to, IMO. Expecting 5000 fans to just rock up with £100 each in just over a week is asking far to much IMHO. |
