Hopefully this mess can be put to bed now and a more positive future can be looked at.

I just hope the position of the MP isn't used to try aquire public funds to be spent on the Bulls. When you have a story about fire fighters being cut it would be a disgrace to see public funds spent on a private sports club.

Good luck to the Bulls. I hope you can really make a go of it and have a bright future.

Oh deep joy.

You get rid of one pest and another turns up. Eh, Sheffield.

That pest was completely off his rocker last night, don`t know about banning him more like he needs certifying after his outbursts.

Aye, but we can put up with M Strutter, just a poor misguided Whino after all - Snow White will straighten him out Vike!

You mean guilfoyle or OK, mumby. 158, jobs saved, means something. Do we think, that figure includes the players and rest of staff, coaching and admin. All signing contracts, aware this would happen.

Well if he's a whino, shouldn't he go to AA.

yes, it might have been a good day out in London and even better to come away with absolutely zilch. I enjoyed the pasting that the whinos got. Remember, it don't mean a thing if you don't win the cup........hold on a minute, someone I know suggested that if the team were to melt down all of their losers medals, then they would be able to make their own cup....LOSER !!!!

Good news at last for Bulls fans,staff & players! Hopefully they can negotiate to stay in Superleague as i don't think a guy who owns 2 curry houses can afford to lose £100,000 a month! Where will he cut costs?

Meant Guillfoyle, but also OK thinking about it.
SL looks good. Him saying hanging on to the young players was important, so if they are staying he must know something is nailed on!!

I don't have to wake up, however he makes his money, he is not going to carry on losing £100,000 a month! He is not in it to lose money, he will cut costs and increase revenue. How? Pay less in wages and increase season ticket prices, simples.

Probably cut the number of players, remember 17 are out of contract, how many to keep? Definately increase season ticket prices.
But best thing is possibly, I repeat possibly, the fact that no previous board people like Caisley and Hood are to be involved, so no fractious in fighting............
........hopefully

Loser ?

5 super league titles fella, get real.

Anyway back to the real story, glad you were saved but Gerry Sutcliffe is scraping the bottom of the barrel lol.

Then I suppose beggars can't be choosers.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Come On You Bulls

I am simply lost for words....

This is fantastic news as far as I can see. I left Bradford several years ago but have been following the Bulls saga over the months and would suggest this is the best outcome out of all those that could potentially have materialised.

I foolishly decided to read what had been posted under this article expecting to see sensible and positive comments. Instead, I am subjected to utter drivel by complete idiots. Some of you really are pathetic and an embarrassment.

Just to make it clear for some people - Of course, the new owners will increase season ticket prices and yes they will cut costs which undoubtably will include player wages. This is how businesses make money and survive. Unfortunately, the previous owners hadn't quite grasped this concept which is why the Bulls ended up on the brink of extinction.

As for "beardedclam" - if your name is a euphemism then you have at least got one thing right. You are indeed what your name implies. Well done....

yes you are a loser. 4 super league titles, 3 minor premiers, 2 challenge cups and 3 world club challenges. mmm... I think that makes us the most successful yorkshire club in superleague.
Please don't come on to this site spouting your so- called high and mighty rubbish because you will be shot down in flames you twit.

Oh I am scared.

So one more tin pot challenge cup victory in SL era and one less SL title makes you more successful ?

Shot down in flames by who ? Certainly not you mate, keep trying .

This is the best news in what seems like for ever and all people seem to be interested in is scoring points off each other. this site has become a waste of time as far any sensible duiscussion of the topics is concerened. full of idiopts spouting off , name calling and generally being a pain in the backside.!
stick to the story, congratulate the new owners and thank them for saving our club. we can move forward now and hopefully secure a superleague future. secure the players, coaches and supoort staffs futures too.

Great news, I'll use Omar's restaurants in future and what a change a politician actually doing something useful, well done to both of them, congratulations. Hope we look forward to welcoming more Asians to Odsal to match days.

"And my Dads bigger than your Dad"
Grow up Guys !! Its good news all round, the Bulls survive and thats important for the loyal fans as well as all the trolls/haters, they will still have someone to target with the infantile dribble they spout, more importantly had the Bulls folded it would have been disasterous for Rugby League, lets hope they can retain enough talent and Mick Potter to once again challenge the top sides for honours, The ringfencing of current players would indicate the Bulls will be in SL next season, only a couple have gone so far and thats a normal thing at this time of year.

Yes if everyone did not respond to the trolls then the site may take an upward turn. I try not to but sometimes can`t resist, but like the Bulls players and coaching staff I will get my head down and ignore the downside the world throws at you.

What a fantastic feeling this morning COYB

says it all strutter that your on here at 9:10pm talking cr@p, while your team are playing at Headingley. Yet you travel 200+ miles to watch em the week before?

Don't the YEP have a website?

This is good news that the Bulls have been saved. The Superleague status has yet to be negotiated and decided, but those of us who support teams outside of Superleague know that this is a done deal. What that does say to the Championship clubs is that they gave a snowball in hells chance of joining this elite club. The short term future of the club is normal priced season tickets and mid to bottom table results, which could result in a lot of fickle fans turning away resulting in less cash to spend the year after, etc.

well i never!"

As I`ve been saying on here, I`m not a Bulls fan just a sports fan and am pleaed by this news BUT this is surely not a long term prospect and if Guilfoyle`s comments about safeguarding jobs and just carrying on are correct then if I were him I would make sure I kept mydesk at Odsal as I might be back there in a few weeks.
Surely Gerry and Omar can`t be running a loss making budget, if so were is the RFL in allowing it?
Gerry says the hard work starts now, who is doing it?, as MP he seems to have a record of going in the opposite direction when there`s work to be done, equally where is the funding coming from they have got to have a serious backer so consider this.
Gerry talks the Council into buying back the Lease from RFL, the Coucil sell to the bulls for £1 and Bulls mortgage or sell to a third party thus getting a years running cost at the expense of the Council Tax payer, expect an announcement of this OR Gerry saying they can`t make it work the week after the end of the season, oh and he has to go back to work after the summer recess.
Notas good news as it appears if you lookat it logically.

Great news ! Omar will use all the facilites on a regular basis such as weddings & functions Hood only ever used the stadium 12 times a year. Revenue will flow in if used correctly. We are the biggest mulitcultural city in England & I hope that more of the Asian community get into watching rugby it could be great for the city & the club.

Mike Strutter your club Leeds Rhino`s have acted with great compassion & dignity this season helping out our club with money, paint for the pitch & have given great support to us. Many Leeds fans have donated money & been to Bulls games to help out a fellow Rugby club I salute your club & many of its fans. You however are a disgrace to your club & the game neither need your kind of support you are a small minded idiot who if I were you would have a serious look at how you conduct yourself & grow up.

Come on you Bulls we now have a future to look forward to.

Bingley, nothing logical in what you've said. Pure hypothesis on your part. Council by back lease, think not, they have hardly got two ha'pennies to rub together. The OK did had to prove they had money, available, to take the club forward. They must have or the RFL would have thrown the bid out. I actually thing that you are anti Sutcliffe, one of Bingleys' blues. If you read the articles, available on this announcement, other than, in t n a. You would get a better picture of what was happening. Try Code13, Sporting Life, RFL, SLE, etc., are you OK with that.

Well said, bully bullman, maybe if the lad from Bingley reads that it may open his eyes as to where some of the money is coming from. Re- Mr Strutter, he's a whino, and a wind up merchant, you bite, he writes. He has been known to throw a few kind words our way. Read some of them.

Its unclear what Mr Sutcliffe's role at the club will now be.
As a fully elected member of parliment he has a responsibility to those who voted him there and his own Labour Party were very critical of those Tory MP's who were performing two jobs.
So what is his position going forward is he going to be hands on? Will he try to use his influence on the Lanbour run Bradford council or will he be takijg a back seat and focusing on the people he represents as an MP.

Just read the other thread, Wembley of the North has been mentioned once again sigh.

Good post and the fickle fan problem could be a problem but this season has gelled alot of supporters many were fed up with the way the club was being run not always the squad or results. I feel this will be the start of a new era if the club charge £200 for a season ticket then they must look into ways of making this payable for its low income supporters. May be the club could set up a direct debit scheme pay for your ticket over 12 months keep it rolling £17 per month keep the money coming in.

Bully bullman, Spanish bob, read the full article, re OK. The RFL, are holding a mini licensing exercise, bulls, and clubs from championship. But bearing in mind they have to have a fixed number of supporters ie 10,000. A ground ready to cope with Sl and money. The three big clubs, fax, fev and Leigh, in championship, couldn't must that number of fans if you added their gates together. Tvor, not a good word, always finding fault. If YOU read the full article re OK. You would see that Sutcliffe is HONARY, chair. So not hands on. So get your facts right.

like a phoenix from the flames ...

im saving up now for my near £200 adult season ticket ...

although we didnt relaise it as fans ..you can get season tickets for under £75 for two years without being part of the problem ..

kids should be free into ground still though..and just a couple of quid transfer ... Not one price to transfer on rainy days into the stand ..

i would also want to see a dual season ticket offering with PA playing at Odsal...

and if the great bowl could get a 24 hr supermarket attracted to site we could yet realise a state of the art stadium with final , semi final and international capacity capability in Yorkshire..

At the moment Huddersfield and Hull have the most modern , Sheffield the biggest but Yorkshire does need something a little more special to attract multiple events ..

Yorkshire is as big as Scotland ..came eleventh in the Olympics gold medal table ..

and the place in most need of infra-structure investment in Yorkshire is Bradford ...

lets just hope we can pull through against Hull tonight ..as i dont fancy we will make it into playoffs if we have to win in Southern France.

ill be there tonight with my boys ...

COYB ..

I did read all articles, in full. I am fully aware that the RFL will be conducting this "look at us aren't we fair" exercise. This is just a paper trail to make them look good and they change the criteriato suit themselves. both fax and Leigh have grounds mire fit for purpose than the Bulls and Fev will be better than odsal once the new stand is erected. to say that bulls are more fit. because they have 10,000 fans is like saying thir finances were fit on the last application. once reality hits, £200 season tickets and loosing a lot mire games than they win, crowds will be well below 10,000.
