Quote: Bull Mania "I don't pretend to be in the know, but from the outside looking in I don't think Roberts is going to be building stadiums anytime soon. They may be scope for the two clubs working together for a development at Odsal and the facilities at Horsfall being community facilities. Anyway, isn't the land at Horsfall restricted from being developed as its on green belt?'"
reaching for the tinfoil again...
IF...big IF... That idea makes perfect sense if the council want Odsal stadium side to sell off and end up building a min 16k seater on the RD side.
Having BPA in the mix makes it more palatable for the minority City types who'd be ranting on the T&A site about 'Bulls have the begging bowl out again, the clowncil never do anything for us'...and RoI wise more sensible to have club offices and club shops in the same place.
If Roberts has his lease then his 3G pitch can be used for whatever community stuff he wants and the chances are that IF they ever get into the Football League there's a stadium waiting with the club they got into bed with, presumably just for that moment, at a very reasonable rate?
EDIT: ...and they'd not need to worry about having clashing colours in the stadium seating as they have just reverted back to their original Red, Amber and Black.... fancy that!
