it's a disgrace isn't it?

[quote="Jack Burton":28chrmx1]Unless they can get significant investment into Odsal, they should move to Valley Parade.[/quote:28chrmx1] Valley Parade owners wanted £750k a season so that was a non-starter. We're stuck with the Odsal millstone unfortunately since finding someone with tens of millions needed has been impossible since the 1930s. Valley Parade pitch is smaller than Odsal BTW. Odsal pitch has a dispensation to be the size it is. Length wise it's no different to many RL grounds.

No idea what the answer is for Bradford , given the financial pressures facing the game, ground sharing needs looking at more widely in the sport. Share a ground with Halifax? Share the new Ken Davy ground, Share Headingley, I know this will bring Bradfordians out in hives , would probably do same for me. On our game, 1,310 in attendance is abysmal and emphasises the game’s income challenge, see above share costs suggestions
