Sad news. I thought he was doing a great job.
.
Shouldn't be too long now until we can crack open the bubbly! :wink:






We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.

Will they make a move for John Kear? Having spoken with a number of Bulls fans they seem to favour JK.

Sh@t, I need to get my story straight, I'll rephrase what I said "I heard some Bulls fans discussing the subject while I was passing" ........... come on now you wouldn't actually speak to Bulls fans about RL matters now would you? :?






Is a dream a lie if it don't come true. Or is it something worse?

The hum on the Bradford forum is for Noble.






I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Feel free to abuse / insult me but I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Francis Cummins and more importantly the Bulls Fans .They've been let down dramatically by complete incompetence from those who hold the power.

The Ownership Saga at Odsal has been a joke from start to finish and Cummins and the Supporters are now the one to suffer ,the RFL aren't without blame either and I hope they chase Omar Khan and his lackies down for every bit of that 905 thousand they owe.

One of the Bulls Fans posted this on RL fans earlier today and you really cant argue with his sentiments...
'The 'suffering' does not relate solely to performances on the field, it's more the off the field soap opera [incompetence, lying, false dawns, utter shambles really] which wears you down over time. I have developed a certain amount of 'Bulls fatigue' the past 2 years or so. Following your team should be fun, a pleasant distraction from the daily grind regardless of whether you win, lose or draw. The Bulls have been emotionally draining to the extent I think 'is it really worth the angst any more?'. There is enough seriousness in my life as it is without the Bulls occupying some of that territory as well.'

As Keighley supporters I think we've all thought that way over the years and I've every sympathy for the Bulls fans now

BUT it really doesn't extend to local Derbies next year and bragging rights to the Cougars :-) and TBH a teeny bit of p** taking at the demise of our nearest rivals ..

Sorry Rach,although I do admire your since of fair play and compassion for a nearly extinct bull, I for one will laugh myself silly if they get relegated, there arrogance while looking down from there lofty heights over the years has left a very bitter taste. The Cougars have gone bust been relegated, promoted gone bust again relegated again and so on it called Sport, we may get relegated again this season who knows, but that's Sport if in proffesional or semi professional sport your not good enough and you don't have the funds then 'bye bye' welcome to our world Dulls its a long way back!

I agree with you in part, Rach. Our gripes were with board members and glory hunting fans that are long gone.

A derby match would be good fun though, there would be opportunity for some choice banter :-) :-)

Looks like (according to today's Telegraph & Argus) that several players are looking to their futures away from Odsal!

With a crowd of 5610 for last Friday's home game (how many actually paid?) a third liquidation could be on the cards, but I would imagine that they will say that they were unable to foresee it coming (again).

Will they have a team next season, whether it be in SL or not?
