Unbelievably the reasoning for the reduction was that the administration meant that some of the money owed was never paid bring the amount Wakefield exceeded the cap by down.



In effect, in this case Wakefield got points back because of Admin.

They won't get anything back. MG is just chancing his arm as he has nothing to lose, apart from whatever the costs are.



MG put OK Bulls into administration to protect his own money and wants to claim that this was unforeseeable or unavoidable. Take over the assets of a club you placed into administration and try to get the insolvency punishment reduced?



May get some Bulls fans onside, but that's all.

According to sky sports news:

"Bradford's appeal against their points deduction will be heard on Wednesday June 4.

The hearing, before an independent sporting sanctions appeals panel, will be held three days after the Bulls play Wakefield in a potential relegation four-pointer at Odsal's Provident Stadium."



The RFL love leaving matches and blue touch paper about.

Bad timing. Doesn't matter now what the actual reasons are (getting an independent panel together, collecting evidence etc. etc.) so so many people will now believe that the RFL will be influenced by the result of the Bradford v Wakefield match. There are enough conspiracy theorists around without creating the perfect environment for breeding them. You would hope they would think of that when planning these things. Oh sorry - I used "RFL", "think" and "planning" in the same sentence



- time for my medication

!

Should have it straight after match has finished, like Challenge Cup draw, with 3 balls in a bag.

One hot one cold and one room temperature with the points they are going to get back on each one!

The be all and end of the matter is IF WE win enough games on the pitch it wont matter what the RFL or an independent panel decide

Agree completely. The best and only way to shut everyone up.

We need to be at Bradford for their game in full force.

You can bet they will see this as their big chance and will drag every stay away fan back to make it a big atmosphere for them.

The players need to see and hear the red, white and blue

Agreed Pop Tart

Although you "just know" they will be given some of the 6 points back, we can go there and show them that it is Wakefield that deserve to be in the top flight and not the RFL Bulls with their iconic this, that or the other.

Has anyone found out who is sitting on this independent panel just so we know it is Independent like.

it sounds very independent when very concidently they are waiting until we play Bradford to annouce the result...

If they beat us home and away it would add weight to their argument.

This game is more than a four pointer, if we win; psychologically it would damage the bulls I'm sure. If we lose; it could give the RFL an opportunity to push the bulls cause, give the bulls a huge boost and make for a Hollywood-esque style run in to the end of the season and a million pound game style saga.
