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

The plot thickens.

The RFL haven’t yet approved the move to Dewsbury for 2020. What happens if they decline the request?!

I don't really want to go to Dewsbury. But staying at Odsal is a confirmed, slow decline. Dewsbury is a gamble - kill or cure I suppose. It's a shame the Horsfall option isn't as workable as people think.

BPA should concentrate on getting more Stan fans then making such outlandish promises. I can't imagine their fans, or those of other local RL teams, liking this much. I think he is just jumping on the bandwagon.

At least Bradford Park Avenue Northern will play in the right colours....

Bradford Bulls Banter is hilarious.

So Chalmers announces you're moving before getting the move sanctioned: "Bradford’s request to use the Tetley’s Stadium in Dewsbury as a home ground remains subject to the approval of the RFL Board, who are charged with making a decision in the best interests of the sport. We have not received an application, and it would be inappropriat to comment before we do." and BPA come out with this https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... -dewsbury/
