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

[quote="Bullseye":2yu06y3o]It's shorter than it was when we were last there apparently - and that needed a dispensation then.[/quote:2yu06y3o] Good lord ! Has the metric wheel not reached Bradford yet City Of Culture and small playing surfaces.

The CC needs a serious overhaul. I'm not sure what that is, but I can't see this format being repeated next year.

Bradford and culture in the same sentence....

The attendance was terrible, but if we'd been away to say Batley, they would have had a nice crowd for them. Probably true of most Championship sides. I'd say the view of most people in the game as a whole about this round was largely positive, but it clearly needs a tweak to get the sort of draw that would help the game more.

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.

[quote="leeds owl":2lbfmj1x]A great criminal culture by all accounts. The most dangerous place to live in Europe apparently [/quote:2lbfmj1x] According to who? I can think of plenty of worse places just in Yorkshire.

Apparently, it currently is in terms of overall crime. https://www.numbeo.com/crime/region_ran ... region=150

Good grief, have we really got to the stage of taking Numbeo's easily manipulated "figures" as some sort of fact rather than actual official statistics now?
