As a Leeds fan, there is some initial satisfaction, when remembering how "big and scary" Bradford were and the tramplings we suffered at their hands.



In reality, however, a former top club sliding into a steady decline, financially in addition to performance and support, is never a good thing for rugby league. As supporters of a minority sport it should be of concern to us all.



Leeds needs strong. healthy oppositon. (as long as it isn't Wigan- they can decline all they like

)

Bradford's destiny is in their own hands.



Perhaps Caisley was right all along and if the people of Bradford don't want a SL franchise anymore then perhaps it should go to somewhere that does.

They do it in the NFL (American Football) Some teams have been all over the shop...



I do however think there is a place for the Bulls in Bradford and think that as with all sports, its peaks and troughs. I hope the Bulls get it sorted. A decent half back, bit of funding so on and so forth will see them right...





Rome wasn't Built in a day and all...

Same here, I can't see when the next 20k + crowd is going to be for a Leeds Bulls game and that's what we need constantly to get more youngsters into RL.

I can remember when Leeds were poor and going to games when Wigan put 60 points on us, its hard. But in those days Wigan were special unlike today. Northern have big problems, i believe they have no money, gates falling and not a very good side. Yes they could beat us this year but that is sport. They have been in decline since 2005 selling players and not replacing them with the same quality. The damage Harris did them in terms of money and team morale cannot be understated. The signing of Steve M very strange, massive wages and 35 years old. I wonder how long Burgess will be with them.

Sounds like the glory days of 1963 back at Odslum then ....
