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!

Are they bothered, I meen it's not like ANY council to make money out of anything they sell is it? Except Hull, just put that in so HFC don't have to comment.

| Odsal everyday of the week for me. Our attendances went down while at VP and anyone who think we'd sturggle financially at Odsal, would have a reality check if we moved VP. The football club very nearly dropped out of the football league last year and if it did, probably wouldn't exist right now due to the bills their paying at VP.

groundhog day Bulliac: can you give the links to those documents, as the BMC south Bradford development plan that stated the council would allow as much development around Odsal as needed to pay for redevelopment of the stadium makes no mention of such problems. But if that is the planning deal, then they will allow as much development as is needed to cover the costs of cleansing Odsal of the pollutants that have afflicted it for many a year. hopefully both literally and metaphorically.

income 2002 VP £3561k 2010 Odsal £3956K cost of sales 2002 VP £2433K 2010 Odsal £3127K. do the sums, VP was more profitable by £300K 10 years ago, and of course we are now in 2012 which must be showing a bigger loss than 2010 otherwise we would not be in admin, so add a few more hundred thousand into that difference. So I have to ask the question, are you serious, Odsal every day of the week??? enjoy the waste tip, 7/52.

| I find it as incomprehensible that any self-confessed Bulls fan would not watch their team play in a good stadium 2 miles away as I do that a RL fan would not watch the game if their favoured team packed it in.

| There are many possibilities with the double triangle of Council-Bulls-BCFC and Council-Odsal-VP.
What if the council bought VP from the owner and then made BCFC and Bulls equal 1/3 owners?
And then recouped their money from the Odsal sale?

| Well as long as we still have a club, that's the main thing.
Yes, Odsal is our spiritual home, however I think we're all in agreement that it's never going to be redeveloped, no matter what schemes are put forward.
Therefore, a move to VP, especially if both the Bulls and City are under one ownership, is a good move for the club.
The cost of upkeep at Odsal would no longer be a factor saving the club money in terms of running costs, also if we are dropped down a division, we'd get a much improved score in terms of stadia and facilities and as we'd been dropped once before we'd need all the points we can score to get back into SL.
