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.
I hope they get out of the mess they are in BTW.

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.

The RFL buying odsal has more to it I think.
I Think it is down the the Bulls owing the RFL money and odsal was used to settle the tab.

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.
Expecting 5000 fans to just rock up with £100 each in just over a week is asking far to much IMHO.
