The one factor in all proposals is the Community Sports scheme, ie Sports Centre and additional needed facilities.

I personally think that if they take the approach you state above ie sort out the Community elements and roof some of Odsal then that will be it.

The local and national elections will be over, there will major cuts in public spending due to economic payback and any promises made now or even then will be swiftly forgotten as we're rattling around for change to plant some trees and another water feature on the new grasslands formerly known as Forster Square.

Get whatever you can NOW and get them to sign up and pay for it NOW - and I'm against CT money paying for any stadium redevelopment/purchase for Bulls or City

Just my thoughts.

Dogging and BPA could be a good dual use for a stadium.

Did anyone actually take Bob Blackburn's plans seriously?

The Avenue fans I've spoken to have just smiled, with what I guess would have to be called a 'knowing look', when I've mentioned it in the past, so the answer is probably very few took it all that seriously.

I've often felt, in the long term, that some link with Avenue might be the way forward, particularly if Avenue should regain league status, but I can't see it with BB in charge there. Maybe if a change of leadership were to come about it could be feasible, because much as I don't know what plans are in train for Odsal (if any?) it's difficult to see how the Bulls are going to move forward alone as things are.

Don't talk daft daftdad......this is a new,new,new beginning and the reissue of the Fulham shirt that we did 5 years ago will have 'em dancing in the aisles'

Failing that, it might be that I wasn't far off the mark back in July Las year and we are now in a similar leaky boat to the one we were at the stoop, gp, the valley,the stoop and the valley......
Yours sincerely
Got no facts.....
