RFL respond to Bradford administration

The RFL say they will seek to support Bradford following the news that the club has gone into administration.

The Bulls have been put into administration, the third time since 2012, a few hours ago.

An RFL spokesperson said: “We have been communicating closely with Bradford Bulls and we are aware of the decision to place the club into administration.

“It is undoubtedly a painful and uncertain time for supporters, players and employees.

“In these circumstances the RFL will always seek to support a club in difficulty for the sake of those directly affected and also on behalf of the Chairmen and Boards of well managed clubs who deserve stability.”

“Any decision regarding membership of the RFL and possible sporting sanctions will be made in due course and are at the discretion of the RFL Board.”
