Fair point though isn't it owned (and presumably maintained) by the RFL? While they (i.e. Bradford) may not thrive surely any arrangement between the parties isn't so punitive that the Bulls could be forced into administration again?

Well done Agent Harris.

Purely on the back of living a lie cheating a comp & spending money they didn't have nowt sad about it imo.

Not in 2006.

really

hmmmmm...... ....... yep, i'm right

Owned by the Council, primary lease RFL. Bulls lease it and maintain it from RFL. Part of the problem is that the Bulls are contracted to play at the ground. The bigger problem is that the RFL could pull the Bulls membership of the RFL should they want to move away. Bulls are currently on life support waiting for the switch to be turned to off. Unfortunately most of us are sick of the struggle.

Wouldn't be a bad idea buying the bulls and using them as a Leeds Reserves team, playing under the Bulls name. It would mean any player not making our 17 would play at a decent Championship level.

Ah, cheers. That casts a different light on it. For the good of the game, it sounds as if the council and the RFL should try to come up with a better arrangement.

I'd agree with that, but think I'd go with 12 teams. Franchising is the best way for us to not only survive, but develop as a sport. P and R promotes short termism

The Bulls seem to have been so badly managed for so long. You have to feel sorry for the fans if nothing else.
