    Default Bradford

    Big Nigel Woods managed to get himself 75% share of the club , have to wait and see but my first thought was something dodgy going on

    True, but you have to feel a bit sorry for the fans there, and probably for RL in general.

    Yes, I do. I don't pretend to be very fond of the club after all that Bullmania nonsense but I'm mates with a Bradford fan who's totally turned his back on the club and sport after all that's gone on, he didn't even bother with the Leeds game in the cup. We were chatting about it last time we spoke and he ended up getting a bit irate saying the only way he'd take an interest again was if the club re-started as Northern and if he ever met Chris Caisley, well, that's probably better not on here but I'm sure you get the jist.

    I imagine buying Bratfud would give you change from a twenty.


    With all the shenanigans over the RFL owning Odsal (and now examining options who to flog it to for 'redevelopment' - ie, probably housing) I can't help thinking he's sniffed out an opportunity to make some dosh out of it all.

    It's the only suitable piece of land in Europe for him to build himself a bath that fits his backside into it.

    I agree.

    But it's Big Nige so he'll probably mess it all up

    When Woods was working for the Rfl it was his job to pick the right owners to try and get Bradford out of a mess almost all the people he put there ended up making things even worse now he suddenly ends up with over 75 % of the shares theres a few questions i think the Rfl should be asking really

    That's a very good point but a Ralph said, it's nailed on fat pants will end up making a mess of it.

    If we want to see who 'dominated' the game in the first half of SL (let's say 96 to 08) we get the following scores on the doors (SL titles & CC wins):

    Saints: 5 - 7
    Bradford: 4 - 2
    Leeds: 3 - 1
    wi*an: 1 - 1

    Think you're missing the point behind me posting the article - which was the questions the RFL need to answer in this respect.

    Didn't miss it at all, I was just veering off into a different direction as I get annoyed when we never seem to get the recognition we deserve.

    Called 'thread drift'; happens all the time.
