We have an inevitably dire TV deal coming up with SL stealing the vast majority of any available funding so that's not going to keep anyone going for long.
There's been plenty of times over the last few years I was genuinely worried that Bradford wouldn't exist. Now I'm wondering if the entire game is genuinely on the brink. Now if anyone wants to talk me down from the ledge that would be awesome. Happy Thursday everyone!
I don’t know if you noticed but champ tv rights are not going to be sold as a part of the super league ones anymore so hopefully we might get something extra

Other than the people who were livestreaming the games a couple of years ago I can't see there being much interest in our division and that, if the clubs are going to make money on the deal, would entail some of them being a bit more savvy than they were previously.

That’s why a lot of clubs are signing big names trying to make the league more attractive. They are selling it with the international rights

I'd say that would be York then...New stadium, exiting times v same old rehashed 'back where we belong, no stadium, but we're Bradford bulls' nonsense. Who'd choose us over a team with a home?

The only Ace up our sleeve is JK. Sometimes he appears to give us a pulling power greater than we've earned. York just further illustrates to me how dumb it is that City, the Bulls and PA play in three different stadiums. If anyone ever meets a Bradford Councillor can you slip in the subliminal words "Richard Dunn Site" and "community stadium" somewhere into a sentence?

To be fair one or two already have. I'm not sure the home ground counts for that much in a player's mind - unless it were Wembley Stadium, maybe. How much they were going to be on, maybe the possibility of some kind of coaching job and the security of their payment each month might count a lot more to a player on the cusp or retirement. I guess they are all individuals and will have their own priorities.

Training facilities count for a lot, ours are quality.
With the reserves being cancelled, every club (including ourselves) who were going to run a reserves side will be letting a lot of people go. And it will likely be the ones who have just left the academy who will be let go. Real shame. A lot of decent quality 20 & 21 year olds suddenly have no playing opportunities if they were deemed not ready for 1st team squad.
