I used to support both City and Northern till I got married and had to choose one or the other, I chose Northern as soccer had become boring with more back passes pervading the game each season till the total negativity of passing to keepers or full backs from inside the opposition half forced me to turn my back on the "beautiful game" I made the right choice with RL. Soccer is now so boring I can't even watch a full match. I either fall asleep or my brain starts to wander. However I always look for City's score when I see the results and will always have a fondness for them. I have always thought Odsal the better venue for team sports and hoped that BC would move to Odsal after that awful day, v Lincoln City. but passions ran high and a new stadium was built not by what was best for the two professional teams but by sentiment. Should BC stay at VP then a possible sharing scheme with BPA could then be a idea as they share a common early history.

Afternoon Andrea, the Bulls kicked the OSV idea off and Mr Hood has done a good job of it. It certainly was NOT a council initiated idea.


I'm bemused by the idea of facilities being restricted at Richard Dunn's. Antiquated yes but restricted ? Outdoor floodlit footy pitches, indoor footy pitches, large swimming pool, gym, squash, badminton - what other sports will the new OSV Sports Centre offer if the existing one is restricted by comparison ?


The motorway used for all those residents of Bradford to access the OSV ? Hmm I'd venture that the residents of Bierley would come along Rooley Lane rather than through the Euroway and up to the roundabout but hey

Da*n it, did I do just that ?

For the record, I have never had a problem with RD's being rebuilt, I do have a problem in principle with Council Tax payers cash paying for Bulls facilities and a bigger gripe with the fact that some people seem to think this is a right for their privately owned club. Nothing to do with City / Bulls rivalry, I said exactly the same when City were in administration. I'd rather have seen City in the Conference than take the Council's cash.

Nearly happened anyway

Come on Bullseye ( oh and Good Afternoon The benefits of a new stadium and the OSV being built would filter down to council tax payers whether they use it or not.

How weird. I agree with Adey that the deal between the Bulls and the Council can't be fairly described as the Bulls getting some sort of windfall for nowt from 't Council, but on what do you base that strange view?

In my opinion, the Council wastes / spends many millions of pounds on all sorts of things of varied, dubious or no merit so far as I am concerned, and mostly things which are no use or benefit to me, so why on earth should I have some strange pangs in the unlikely event that a bit of the Council's money came my way, either directly, or indirectly such as to the Bulls, or City, or some other organisation that does mean something to me?

What happened at the second forum at VP that was supposed to featured Hood? No mention of it anywhere on the City boards post the event.
