Rubbish.
The only period when Bulls have not played at Odsal was 2001 and 2002, when we moved out supposedly so the ground could be redeveloped. Instead of course we were shafted. We were not allowed to have a Tesco-funded new stadium, when Wigan Wire Stains et al were.
The ground is of course crying out for development, but the route followed by pretty well everyone else - do it on the back of a retail development - has been denied us.

| It's the worst stadium (imo) in the world of rugby league. In the end, couldn't attend the game, but you'd have to pay me to go there every week, whatever the team was doing on the pitch. It least some of the teams that have decrepit stadia that are falling down have some semblance of an atmosphere. You'd need 20,000 in Odsal to know you were at a game.
The Shay is poor in comparison to Thrum Hall for "the occasion", but at least we don't need binoculars to follow who's got the ball!
Well done to the Bulls for the second half performance today - a good hit-out for both teams.

Know nowt about Bradford's stadia saga but wouldn't a ground share with the Football be a solution?

I thought Odsal might have a special place in the hearts of some of the Halifax fans. Were you not there in 54?

My great grandad built a weaving shed with 40 shuttle looms in 1908. He laid the platform for our family's comfortable life. Well done him but my dad replaced all the old looms in 1976 with swish new Italian rapier looms. Not sure where i'm going with this but hopefully you can see my point.

Get a better view of the pitch from Google Earth than you do from the terraces...
It seemed the PA system was only turned on for the main stand to me, didn't hear an announcement clearly all afternoon

| And to add to that, Its a bit unfair how Odsal escapes critiscism when The Willows, Belle Vue, The Jungle (or whatever you want to call it these days) ect take a lot.
Hull KR have made improvements recently, Saints have left Knowsley Road for pastures new, Leeds have built a new stand, Other teams have in the past 10 years moved to new stadia (Hull and Warrington). Bradford built the coral stand, a facility which while it allows them to entertain the visiting Media (perhaps thats why they're more kind over the state of odsal) benefits very few of the ordinary Bulls Supporters,

That's because Bradford will NEVER be considered for a license revoke - all the others would gladly be sacrificed by the RFL and everyone knows it. The big clubs are better off not being part of the license process - their inclusion in it is utterly pointless.

Well why should the RFL throw us out when we have 11,000 season ticket holders.
It would be madness.
