Quote: Bulliac "I'm slightly puzzled as to how the RFL, "cash in on their investment". The 'own' a lease. All they can do, independently, with that is let another club play rugby at Odsal and I can't, in my wildest dreams, see a queue forming - even if the running costs were one tenth of what they actually are. Even worse the suggestion gives the impression that the RFL could organise a social event in a brewery and I'm far from sure that is the case.'"
Now the covenant for playing sport at the stadium has expired, the land is essentially available for development opportunities.
Bradford Council cannot move on this opportunity unless they regain the lease so would have to pay off the RFL. Depending on how valuable th land is, the RFL could make quite a bit of profit.
