[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.

[quote="tad rhino":cvw5dyjh]Bradford and culture in the same sentence.... [/quote:cvw5dyjh] Not really Tad. Bradford has plenty of culture - at least as much as anywhere else in Yorkshire.

[quote="Sir Gregory ParsloeP":3e6clvao]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[/quote:3e6clvao] Would think sharing a ground with Fax or Hudders wouldn't be too bad - somewhere on the border would be ideal. Not sure how having primacy of ownership would work for IMG purposes but it makes sense to have a stadium that gets plenty of use. Pitch would need to be made of stern stuff. The challenge is who pays for it? The Bulls are stuck at Odsal until I win a Euromillions treble rollover.

Overall consensus was that the format of this round was a success but some games were much better events than others. Burgess was complaining about the timing but he complains about everything. It's a shame Leeds didn't do more to promote their match, it wouldn't have taken much to get double that crowd by building it up a bit more.
