Was reading on teamtalk that Bradford City are in the sh*te again. I thought they had been in admin already and that they got rid of all the team and the high earners? How can they still be in trouble? The report said they could be gone in a week  Same fate as Bradford Park Avenue  Surely it wont be allowed to happen, surely administration is the answer again? Just an aside to this is if they do go, I assume that a team will not be relegated from the 2nd div? Grimsby and that Carlisle would be saved from the conference AGAIN! |

The latest cost cutting propsal is for them to move to Bradford Bulls rugby league stadium. They currently pay a large amount on rent to the council at Valley Parade. The Bulls would welcome them, as BCFC helped them out back in 2000/01. Hopefully this will be enough to save them. I don't like to see any club close to closure, especially after knowing what it's like to be days away from league expulsion as a Notts fan |

They'd never let you go under, how long were you in administration? Shame bradford dont own the ground, cos that would be a sellable asset, ok they dont have tp pay rent there, but will have to pay it at odsal? Doesn't save much?  |

We were days away from expulsion from the Football League. I was very worried! There were no more extensions after 18 months in administration, we needed a sale and fast! |

The Football League would have kept extending it, I'm sure of it!  All we kept hearing was oldest club in the world, blah de blah blah, got a bit tiring after a while, especially when you avoided relegation last season with an unfair advantage:( |

I'm hoping that Ken Morrison will make a last minute rescue bid.
Now why are we going to go under with debts less than half of those of the team down the road?

Cos you are in the 2nd div and not the 1st and not looking like you can get out of the mire? All depends on the creditors and whether they want their cash, or pound of flesh? Good luck, is this Morrissons, or somebody else? |
