| Huge game for Bradford! I mean the race for the league leaders shield is wide open, but the chase for the 8th spot is really exciting as the season almost comes to a close. But i have every confidence that our Bulls can do it! Hopefully we can beat Wakey, then have some momentum going into a tough run in.

Still, nil desperandum, my ticket just says 'ground' and my dad came from Wakefield so I could just about manage the local patois if necessary, jacket on over the shirt....hope it's not too warm...

Kears view on the game and also a mention about player payment, hopefully today it says, which will mean thats what the guys are gobbing about, really not the sharpest tools in the shed.

the ground used to be open to all but now the north stand is used to create an atmosphere in which seems to be working, shame we have had a few idiots at the widnes game

Why is it? Have you ever stood down the side terracing or gone in the stand at Odsal? The view is perfect - the distance from the pitch is fine and you have a perfect level of elevation to be able to see all of the pitch clearly.
Compare that to Belle Vue where you're right on top of the play, with very little elevation and you can't see a fecking thing that's going on over on the far side of the pitch. BV is an awful ground, the sooner you move into your new home the better imo.

That's a very good point and lets hope you don't get a few more CCJs before Sunday as well

| It's personal opinion. Some line to be close to the play and some prefer to be elevated and a little distance away.
Bradford have what they have and so do Wakey and both are fit for purpose in the league no matter the quality.
Who cares, this is about the game not the respective clubs grounds and bicep measuring.
Looking forward to this one. Having seen alot of effort from Wakey the past 2 games and having the opportunity to take Leeds twice if not for errors at the death I'm hoping for a similar effort, tidier play and hopefully a win.
Think it'll be another tough game and another that could go either way.

| Quote ="Bulliac"The usual argument about Odsal is that you're a bit way from the pitch, which is true enough, especially if you choose to stand near the back.
However, wherever you stand you are high enough to clearly see see all the lines, including the dead ball line from right behind the posts, and you can see clearly how close play is to the try line even when you're behind the sticks at the opposite end. The depth of terracing is also sufficient to allow anyone of average height to see over the people standing in front of them.
Much as I quite like Belle Vue as a traditional ground [I'm not a lover of the breeze-block palaces, and it does have some charm, I have to say that none of the previous paragraph can be said about BV, and the viewing gets worse as the crowd number rises.'"
Each to their own I suppose, but give me a ground where you're actually close to the action rather than one where you're so far away that you can't tell who has actually got the ball.
I agree that Odsal does make it easier to see how close to the lines you are but I'd still rather not have to watch the game through a pair of binoculars.

Give up taking the pi$$ and come stand in the popular terrace! Much better view and you might have a laugh!
Looking forward to this weekend, wouldn't blame us for not showing up, but I hope they show Omar what it means to be professional!

if your eyesight is that bad then yes, you could do with being closer to the pitch but you can get quite close at odsal, both on the pop side and at the bottom of the stand.
I find that once you've been to grounds, there's always somewhere you can find within that ground that is to your reasonable liking, it's just wandering around, personal preferences, and trial and error. Same goes for Belle Vue.
The only ground i can think of where RL is almost unwatchable is the Don Valley.

| Just regarding the actual game, would it be easier for me to drive or jump on a train? I've not been to BV before and I've head it's all street parking, a lot of which is restricted anyway.
Back to the tangent, if anywhere I think the worst ground in SL is probably Craven Park in my opinion.

| I love Odsal for the fact that it's nothing like any other ground I've been to. Never have any issues with viewing the game from the popular side, perfect height and I have no need to be any closer to the action. Not a fan of Salfords new ground, maybe it was where I was sitting but the view was way too low even when I tried moving further back and being so close to the action made it no more exciting.

| To be honest Odsal is one of my favourite grounds.
I like the big view.
There are places at Belle Vue with a great view but plenty without.
Love the old girl but will be happy in my new sparkly seat in the new sparkly stadium.
But I'd rather have the points at the weekend and let Bulls have the bragging rites on the stadium

Well it's that or DIY, and considering that I have already cut through the phone cable when I was stripping wallpaper, I think a cycle up to Odsal is safer.

I think you might be getting confused with the Cas stadium at Glasshoughton that isn't happening anymore.
I'm pretty sure Newmarket is still on course to become a reality.
