    Gone into liquidation.

    As a fan of a club on the verge of such a thing in the past, have to feel for the fans. They've had a rough few years.

    Wonder who owns the stadium ?

    The ****hole that is the Richard Dunne Sports centre (opposite the RL ground) is to close soon as well

    All in all, that will be one vast area ripe for housing.

    Migrant Mansions Plc are applying for planning permission for that entire area.

    Not sure the "local populous" are the Rugby League type somehow. Sad really. Leicester City next. Thin end of the wedge.

    Bradford Northern as they once were. The game must be in a mess when a famous club from a city the size of Bradford and a club with their history and tradition go tits up. Makes the decision to pour money into a club from Canada to play in the not very Super League look a bit ridiculous when a famous club in the very heartland of the game ( M62 corridor) cannot make a go of it.

    Close! Toronto are playing in the 3rd tier, not Super League and that project is all funded by Toronto - including paying for the flights of the their opponents.

    They've been offered a place in the Championship for next season, so they've really just got out of all their debts.

    doesn't look like the shortened name from Northern to Bulls attracted vast swathes of sponsorship from India

    Or they could have tried the Toronto Red Necks trading as Bradford Bulls route ? That worked for a club who found themselves in a similar position not so very long ago.
