Bringing Speedway might be good for Odsal in the long term but not if it detracts in anyway from the Rugby playing surface. There are as has been said a lot of hurdles to get over, not the least the fact that the RFL own the lease whould that mean any rents to be paid to use the stadium would go to Red Hall? Also if a Bradford team came in at the third level of the sport would the crowds realy come? what are the average atendances for a National League team? Not 6000 to 10000 that came when we won the Elite League i'm sure.

Bricking up one goal and swapping them round at half time would give us some home advantage too.

On the face of it, with the season as it is [we seem to be playing every week Feb to April, then twice a month in summer] it seems logical. To be honest though, if money were to be available for spending on the pitch, I'd go for upgrading the drains and re-laying.

No don't be silly, if its done properly with thoughtful planning don't see why it cant work.

Having the slopes is pretty silly, and frankly I can't justify having them there for home advantage. I'm pretty sure we were instructed to flatten them out when we returned to Odsal.

I honestly can't see the RFL agreeing to this at all. I'm not sure I want them to either.

Well, instructed to or not, they've all but disappeared these days - which I must admit amuses me when commentators refer to the corners as if they were still the same as 25 years ago
