I wouldn’t get too excited given the state of the current climate and the recession on the horizon. Bradford also isn’t a popular area to throw cash at as we’ve seen time and again over the years.

BUT my god if it came off… plus it is exactly the type of thing that Nigel would ride on the coat tails of. Let’s be honest, he usually ends up landing on top (queue weight based jokes…)

The good thing is we are all so jaded and cynical these days, none of us will be getting our hopes up.

100%. You only have to look at the lack of exciment amnongst the Bulls comunity since the image was released. Id say it barely even caused a ripple. We are all to long in the tooth now to give a toss about another pie in the sky scheme. Ill start and get interested once we see the bulldozers moving in.

I’m somewhat more interested given it seems to be driven by the council, which hasn’t happened before.

Right so now you expect us to build you a new stadium? Bucket collections not enough?

Well let's be honest Big Nige has had tons of opportunities.

Not even then. Didn't the bulldozers move in under Caisley and we decided to take control of the stadium from the council. That turned out well.

Mail reporting that the bid has now been submitted by the council to the levelling up fund.

Grade A licence and new ground. The future is looking very bright indeed. And in other news would anyone like some of my smack?

Be great if it happened. Be great of I won the lottery too.

I guess this is where we find out if the Tories have been lying to us.

No I can't keep a straight face...more chance my dog becoming Prime Minister - then again looking at what we've had in No 10 in recent years.....

It was in the news today that the tories have given the richest area outside London (the South East) almost double the amount of 'leveling up' money that the north east received.

Yorkshire does a little better, but in the past year Britain's £4.8bn levelling up fund only delivered £107m...

Looking at where the money is going we would be better placed as the Solihull Bulls.

I thought the bid was somehow linked to the city of culture award. Is this not the case anymore or does that still count for something?

We'll soon find out. I'm very sceptical when it comes to promises from the government, particularly when it concerns "levelling up".
