Quote: Bully_Boxer "I seriously hope it doesn't come to VP. One thing I love about Odsal is being able to stand whilst watching my Rugby. Plus I still have memories of the season ticket holders in front of me who brought an inflatable purple alien to every home match and waved it in front of my view each home game.'"


Gledhill was much younger then though.

Not Gledhill this time, well unless he use to be a young girl? Which seems unlikely? Maybe I'd be less of a grumpty git 2nd time around.. but that's possibly even more unlikely!

Quote: Bulliac "Pitch lengthening would be a big job and I suspect very expensive to be honest. It's hard to see what could be done with the kop, other than removing several seats at the front, whilst the Bradford end is too small to take anything away but is tight for room behind the stand, so is impossible to move back. If a permanent move were to be made though, it would be essential as VP, with its solid walls, literally inches from the dead ball lines, is a serious spinal or head injury waiting to happen, in its current state.

It's hard to get away from the decline in attendances when we were there before though. We need to hope it doesn't come to that.'"


IRRC Mark Lawn suggested that the council buy Valley Parade and make the necessary modifications to the pitch/stadium. I guess one option could be to remove rows from the front of the Kop, or even demolish the Bradford End.

I have a couple of thoughts on this.

First of all what is 'fit for purpose'? Can you or can you not watch a Rugby League game at Odsal in it's present format? Yes, you can... so despite the fact that could do with some work to make it more comfortable for fans on a wet day I don't see any reason for a stupidly expensive development just so we can compete with other clubs in saying that our stadium is shinier that yours. Stadiums and the new Pianist extentions.

What is a concern is that at the fans forum IIRC Peter Hood hinted that whilst the ground looked good (and there isn't a stadium I'd rather be at on a sunny sunday afternoon) there were problems developing behind the scenes that needed to be rectified sooner rather than later and that fixing those issues would be expensive.

Personally I would hate to go to Valley Parade unless it really was a case of that or nothing.

With regards to simply putting a roof on the popular side... I can't believe that in this day and age and with some of the stadiums that are being developed and built around the world that we're limited to having to use poles! If it's going to be developed it needs to be done right rather than just done cheap (like the adage says: buy once, buy twice) In a perfect world that would include decent corporate facilities to bring in income and a couple of bars for me! Maybe build back onto the lower level path that runs behind the current stand and develop the grass banking to allow access to the terraces all along that side on the ground. If there is one thing that Odsal has in abundance it's space... it's just a case of having the money, technology and imagination to use it!

Quote: vbfg "The boycotts were to do with the stewarding at VP. I remember more boycotts by Saints fans than Leeds though. Promises of at least, if not actual boycotts.'"


You want to see it now...It's worse!!
