The move to VP is being continually touted.
One of the often repeated assumptions about VP is that the Gibb pension fund (owners of the ground) would simply allow both clubs to share the current rental paid by City. I've got to say I can't imagine why this would actually be the position. I suspect they would be rubbing their hands, to be honest, especially if the Bulls burn their boats at Odsal. If it is the case that the current board is moving along those lines I hope Mr coulby (or whoever is running the show) keeps his wits about him.

As I see it Bradford City Council own the land, the RFL own a long lease from BCC

If the RFL wanted to sell that long lease to a developer it would need the permission of the council.

I think in the current economic climate providing you handed over some cash to the council they would let you use the ground for nuclear testing. Though to be fair such activity has not exactly helped the game in Cumbria!

I agree with your view on vp, we would be in an exceptionally weak position regarding negotiating with any of the parties involved, and the only long term winner in that scenario imo is the pension fund.

The above quote is also why I have little confidence atm, when was the last time someone running our club appeared to have their wits (or common sense) about their person?

Might do though. The government has almost finalised a deal with Cumbria to give them a £quadragazillion to build a megadump underground for storing nuclear waste. By analogy to what cam out of the Yorkshire pits in the game's heyday, Cumbria could do the same, only with the added benefit of mutants.

Just a thought. It might mean that City are relocating to Odsal

That's always a possibility, though haven't City just spent quite a lot of money on some new offices at VP?

We've already got Mutants down here, AKA the Coal Munchers from the towns around that Big Racecourse on 62.

I understand that the sponsors we are in talks with are Isle of Man-based Excalibur Almaz. They are seemingly able to sell tickets to rl fly yourself to the Moonrl on board an ancient Soviet craft which was never designed for space travel but low Earth orbit, for £100 million a pop. If he can sell them, he would surely piiss all over selling 10,000 season tickets at a piffling £150?

Also we are on our last legs, but the Isle of Man has three, so it all makes sense.

Finally, I understand that if we paid our players whilst they were in orbit around the Moon, these payments would be subject only to the tax regime of that celestial body (currently nil), and not Earth, and I'm sure our new sponsors would sneak one a week aboard for us as part of the deal.

what a complete tool

Hmm, why arn't you thinking of a more pleasing reason why we MIGHT move to Valley Parade??

The RFL has the lease on Odsal.
Councils are crying out for landfill sites.
Bulls move to VP.
RFL sell Odsal (the largest landsite in yorkshire well it's big anyway) and get lots of money for it as this is what council needs.
We would be in a Grade A/B stadium. Premiership standard anyway.
RFL are unlikely to revoke license as we are in a top stadium, good youth development, will have no debts after the currents ones are wiped out, we will be a self sustainable club without a sugar daddy AND we will have just basically brokered a deal which could earn the RFL over £1.5 million.

fuifui moimoi to sign

In no way can Odsal be described as a top stadium.

I meant if we move to Valley Parade -_-

Read the lines in order
