Think that’s the end of the club, or at least the end of the club having any other aspirations other than mid table championship rugby.

Shame - hope the council and the RFL are pleased.

Think Chalmers needs to set up a Q&A with the fans urgently as a lot are rightly unhappy. I'm personally OK with Dewsbury as its similar distance to Odsal anyway. But we absolutely have to be back in the citY ASAP.

I understand the reasons for leaving. If we can't afford the place fair enough. But we need to be in the City. I can live with Dewsbury if there is some sort of stadium improvement, to go back to (highly unlikely IMO)

Well, we’ve knocked £500k from our expenditure next season. As long as income drops by less than that, then our financial situation will improve, oddly

Well something had to give, I wonder if the RFL and Council thought he was bluffing? It's a very sad day but let's face it, Odsal was never in our lifetime going to be redeveloped. I'm not a Bradford resident, but what an absolute disgrace for a city like Bradford to see it's RL club relocate out of the city.

Selfishly the it isn't much further for me to go to Dewsbury and if prices drop accordingly I'll probably see more live games than i have this year.
What do Dewsbury charge for a match day ticket? Hopefully the reduction in costs will filter down into the supporters pockets as well.

What's the dea with the 2020 date that was bandied about?

I'd guess they've also knocked 50% off attendances too. 3 season tickets I know of won't be renewing. Seriously doubt there will ever be a return to bradford.

Does anyone genuinely believe we'll be back in Bradford in two years time? Maybe at Park Ave but not at a new stadium. Heard all this guff before and further evidence Chalmers is utterly tone deaf when it comes to what our fans have endured in the past.

Not happy with the Dewsbury decision as many have said before me we need to be in the City. Was Keighley ever mentioned as a potential ground share for the two years? BD postcode and all that?

Anyway putting on my sport development head. Take the emotion out of it and see it for the business that it is. 500k operating costs have gone and I'd sure Dewsbury won't even be charging half that for the season, plus they'll get income from the bars/food facilities. Cheaper than Valley Parade and as Chalmers has said Horsfall too small. I was surprised to see him say that temporary seating/stand was costly. Thought that might have been cheaper than Dewsbury.

Can see a lot of fans not going. My Grandad is 84 in October and lives up the road, been going to Bulls/Northern since the 40's/50's. Can't see him travelling over to Dewsbury every week. Hope I'm wrong though. I suspect a lot of people may not enjoy having to travel to Dewsbury. I myself love going to the cricket club before the game, walking over to Odsal then have a couple in Top House before home. Adding the trip to Dewsbury just lengthens the day. And I suspect some people may not have the disposable income to afford to get to Bulls then to Dewsbury. In addition to this the walk up support won't be any good.

What happens if we draw Leeds (or another big SL team) or Leigh in the Cup? Is there contingencies for that?

I really do want this to work. And I understand that Dewsbury may be the best option financially. But from this moment on there needs to be a clear communication about the plans going forward.

Sad day for all you Bulls fans....and Rugby League.
Hope you guys are back in Bradford sooner than later.

What a perfect time to launch season tickets.

I think ac is doing the right thing, no one wants to spend money on odsal and it’s time to move on, let the rfl keep the lease if it means that much too them, ac is a business man, we should get behind him, he has been here 3 years and that in its self speaks volumes he is committed and in him we should trust
