3 times they have gone into administration - something must have gone seriously wrong on each occasion after they were saved the 2 previous times.

Just shows the gulf in money between sports like Rugby league and football when their debt was only 1 million!

Sad news about the Bradford Bulls. Financially they have been struggling for a few years. I always presumed somebody would come up with the money. The fans of the Bulls and rugby league ggenerally deserve to know what went wrong.

If the club is reformed, I wonder how competitive it will be. The -12 points deduction surely means it won't be competing for Superleague next season.
They got more funding than any other championship club over the the last 2 seasons they had 43 players on contracts last season yet didn't get a decent half back until it was too late

Funding has been cut to 150k so the chances of going full time are slim
