Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Well, as one of the Bradford northern and then bulls fans who has followed the club far and wide, I can tell you that if I think we've been unfairly shoved in because of our away support I for one won't be attending any away match. Also, if we go up, we're going to spend the season getting smashed, and that will probably mean a few hundred away fans for the most part (If there are away fans allowed at all) and I would be amazed if we averaged over 6k at odsal or 4/5k at Dews if we're losing every week. They'll be enough of us who turn up no matter what at home, but there has been so many years of mismanagement and disappointment that it's really eaten away at the potential for quick growth and recovery of the fan base. We need either trust in the running of the club or success on the pitch (or more likely a mix of both) to start regrowing the crowd, neither is apparent to me yet. />
I think Toulouse if we're still going for geographical expansion, If we're not then it should probably be fev or Leigh ahead of the bulls. />
I desperately want my bulls back in super League, but only when we have earned it on the pitch and are playing in Bradford .

Quote ="Pumpetypump" I suspect that back in the day when Bradford were in SL I was guilty of apathy about the other clubs, and I can remember thinking the fans liked a whinge. Now I see that I was completely wrong in my smug cocoon and that there always needs to be a battle against the inherent self-interest of SL clubs. It would do the whole game a lot of good if some of the clubs that haven't been outside the top flight in recent memory had a little taste. It's not going to happen but they'd come back better for it and with the humility needed to address the game's problems. At least everyone bidding to go up is in that boat.'" />
Great post, the thing is what is an SL club?
Is it a club that has just been lucky enough to have a multi £Millionaire owner drop on them, or a kindly local council that has facilitated a modern stadium?
Is a really successful club one that manages to operate at SL level without one or both of these lottery prizes?
