The RFL have the lease on Odsal but they don't own it. The Council owns it.
If there's no RL to be played on it the RFL may wish to sell the lease. But any buyer would have to do a deal with the Council. Any development would have to go through planning procedures. Is it really that attractive a proposition?

For the umpteenth time in different threads, the RFL do not own Odsal. They own a long lease on the property. I would imagine all they could do is sell the lease, but who is going to want to take on the lease to a sports stadium?
They have also said that if the Bulls are liquidated and reform as a Newco, they will be allowed to fulfill the rest of their 2012 fixtures.

From this, it appears there is a real possibility of Bradford going into Devision 1 for the 2013 Season.
That would mean Halifax would most likely come up, and most of the Players that Bradford will lose, will join Halifax.

None what so ever, plenty of sites around with far less red tape involved. |

Am I misremembering that a long time ago Tesco wanted to buy Odsal but were dissuaded by a combination of Bradford Council and Ken Morrison? |

'" You can say it umpteen times but it doesn't make it any more correct.
The RFL own the leasehold interest in Odsal. Effectively that means they own Odsal.
If you bought a flat, for example, you would own the leasehold, probably on a 999 year lease. You still own the flat though.

but if you bought a flat and wanted to use it as a nightclub you woul still need to get planning permission. on top of which i'm sure the lease will stipulate what the site can be used for without getting approval from the lessor. |

| Quote Tyke's/Rhinos No. 1 Fan="Tyke's/Rhinos No. 1 Fan"As far as I can see, the only realistic survival option for Bradford atm is a move away from Odsal to Valley Parade. The RFL can then sell Odsal off to whatever development its best suited for, and use the money raised as an interest-free loan to Bradford. This should be enough to keep them afloat. However, at the same time they are going to have to cancel a huge number of contracts to reduce players wages. I think Bradford will be saying bye-bye to Kearney, Kear, Platt, Sykes, Pryce, Jeffries, Gale, Sammut, Diskin, L'Estrange, Kopczak, Burgess, Scruton, Hargeaves, Elima, Langley, Whitehead & Bateman i.e. anyone who can get a first team gig somewhere else.'"
And don`t tell me you think Leeds should buy them all  |

Effectively?
So if the RFL wanted to, they could sell the land to Mowlem who could then build a housing estate on it without the freeholder having any say in the matter? |

Why would they join Bradford?
Surely that is a restriction of trade?
What if Halifax could not afford to pay their existing wages?
What if they wanted to join another SL team? |

This is possibly the daftest thing I've read during this sorry saga. The idea that the club could be liquidated and a Supporters Trust immediately emerge and seemlessly take over the running of a professional sports club, in mid season, is completely laughable
