Would you rather see the Bulls continue in Super League but move to Valley Parade or drop to the Championship for a year or two but stay at Odsal?

Could not survive at Odsal outside of SL IMO.

Just what I was thinking.

People are saying VP will be the death of us, but the same could be said about championship rugby.

I watch lots of Championship Rugby and to be fair it is a very close league and in my opinion gives better entertainment value than SL. P & R will probably back on the cards in the next year or two in any case.

Id prefer Odsal to VP, [ibut [/iI'd also prefer a club to no club at all.

Can we even afford Odsal in the championship? If the club might die at Odsal in the Championship, or it might die at VP in the super league I'd take my chances in the SL at VP. I think we'd have more chance of making that work. I can't see us recovering from being put in the CC at Odsal.

If this is the rescue bid that works then it would get my full support. And if it meant moving to VP and selling Odsal to fund both clubs then so be it. (BTW there is no chance city should move to Odsal, thats just a daft notion on many levels and warrants no disscusion IMHO)

Anyone who would rather the club die at Odsal than take a chance of survival at VP needs to think about what they actually want, do you want to watch professional rugby league in Bradford? If this is the way to make that happen then we need to get over ourselves and make it work.

Its a modern stadium in the same city, its not the worst outcome I can think of from all this. As I said on the other thread I for one am thankful to the people at City for getting involved and at least offering an option.

Having said all that, I still don't think we're in the end game and there are twists to come.

In someways similar to the quandary on the pledge - not happy about it but it bought us time.

Some posters have mentioned a slow death of the club at VP - but better than instant death now and it would give another "A" grade on the franchise checklist

If the RFL are stuck with the lease for Odsal, I wouldn't be suprised if they made it worth your while to stay there, even in the Championship.

Not if the council make them an offer they cannot refuse for them to surrender the lease, so they can flog it off to a Steve Parkin or other developer at a decent profit.

But lets see what the bid involves first? I fear for the motives, but we could yet be pleasantly surprised. There is always hope.

The intention would be to then sell on the land, which only they can do, for a big profit. I'm sure many council tax-payers would be more than happy with that.

We could build another mirror pool and all sorts.

The council didn't give away anything. They agreed a payment to the Bulls to cover the upkeep of the stadium and that the responsibility and costs of maintaining Odsal transferred from the council to the Bulls.

But you're right. The council will be left with a prime piece of real estate right on the motorway. How will they ever recoup their money from that?

My source told me last night that the bid was Dom bcfc and that plans are for both teams to play at odsal sporting village. Yes that's right odsal sporting village may be back on the cards

Do I take it you are not inspired by the relection of empty shops and a disused cinema?

Look in the bright side it is one hole they managed to fill!

They could always let Odsal fill with water and let the Brownlee boys train in it?

Well, there are well documented problems due to the substances which have been tipped there over the years, but it would make a brilliant site for a transport company; maybe steady Eddie could keep his connection to RL after all!

I'll be happy with a club to support tbh. Where is of secondary importance right now.
