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

Good lord ! Has the metric wheel not reached Bradford yet


City Of Culture and small playing surfaces.

Competition for leisure £'s combined with what was only ever going to be a no contest, procession of a game. 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 really Tad. Bradford has plenty of culture - at least as much as anywhere else in Yorkshire.

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.

Brighouse would be a good central location, bring back Brighouse Rangers

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.

A great criminal culture by all accounts. The most dangerous place to live in Europe apparently

According to who? I can think of plenty of worse places just in Yorkshire.

Jeez you'll believe anything.
