| Quote paulwalker71="paulwalker71"Well, does anyone remember back in the glory days when threads like this would instantly have 20+ pages?
[iBack then, there were a fair few regular posters who reckoned that the whole thing about the RFL buying the lease was all a long-term plot for Nigel Wood to eventually get hold of the Odsal lease at a knockdown price.[/i
Perhaps we are now entering the end game **places fingers together conspiratorially**
Maybe now we'll get the reasons for the lease sale, the constant insertion of useless owners who then went bust, and all that crap from the last decade...'"
I think you are very close to the truth, a few twists and turns to come soon but the truth will never come to light. |

Nestegg has offered to meet anyone who wants to know the TRUTH in Wetherspoons in town. I believe there is a bombshell waiting to hit the press which will definitively reveal the links between the future of Odsal and a crash in a Parisian tunnel. Book now for an illuminating chat and/or a fight.

| Quote bullinenemyland="bullinenemyland"£1.25m initially, but they devalued it by £400k in 2018...

All the talk of protecting rugby at Odsal was and still is utter drivel driven by money. |

Yep, the rfl bricked themselves and converted their unsecured loan into an asset with value. I wondered at the time what the administration thought of that a few months later |

Presuming you mean LED hoardings - why? - if the match is any good, nobody reads them!
Only people that work in schmarketing think that schmarketing works!

| Quote Highlander="Highlander"One thing we’ve learnt from the sale package, the stockcars have a lease until 2041'"
They have a licence until 2041, not a lease. Had a quick look at Odsal Motorsports on Companies House. Two directors with £1 shares apiece, apparently. |

The council have the freehold
The RFL have the leasehold
The club and the stock at company are the tenants
So what’s the IMG’s definition of the owner? |

Who knows?
But in commercial property it's the norm for the leaseholder to have to maintain the property. The RFL let the stadium deteriorate in the years between 2012 and now. Anyone can see that.
I can't see any potential buyer wanting to pump money into it to improve it. They're more likely to see it as a development site. |

My conspiracy goes like
1) CBMDC get the lease back
2) Richard Dunn becomes a victim of a weird kind of fire that destroys concrete and the lands cleared
3) CBMC sell the Odsal plot (that used to include the RD area if I remember right before it was split some years ago
4) CBMDC pledge to build a stadium on the RD plot
5) Were still playing zero G RL at Dewsbury in the year 2099
