[iUtter garbage. Bradford Park Avenue are making plans on spending on improvements at Horsfall which will see them there for years. BULLS HOME IS ODSAL & WILL BE ALWAYS. No public stadium even possible at Wyke (fall out zone of NuFarm) but Council building a community training centre. Facts

Apologies for the slight delay in responding.

It is wonderful to hear from the horse's mouth that Rugby League WILL be played seemingly forever at Odsal stadium. Thank you for your gracious, prompt and truthful admission.

Odsal is not a blight; it is a Bradford asset that will continue to house the wonderful sport of Rugby League.

As you and Bradford Council's head honcho, Kersten England, know there is a problematic clause in the Odsal Head Lease which states that Rugby League need not be played at Odsal after May 2019.

We agree with you that Susan Hinchcliffe, Kersten England and Ralph Rimmer will now continue to do the right thing. We know you Damian want to abide by the fans express wishes (as the 1300 Twitter Poll votes to date confirm) that RL will definitely be played at Odsal forever and a day.

To make sure this will happen after post Spring 2019 we ask that the following be done, and we know that Kersten and Susan will agree. Namely, that Odsal management, the RFL and Bradford Council delete the clause in the Odsal Head Lease that says that Rugby League could end at Odsal in Spring 2019, and as per your promise as above add a new clause to the lease guaranteeing that Rugby League will be played at Odsal for at least the next 50 years. This clause will then protect any owner of the club from land speculators who may see Odsal as one of the prime development sites in the region that could reap profit for some who may possibly have their noses in our trough albeit to the exclusion of Rugby League.

We are now speaking with a common desire, and for many thousands of Bulls supporters, when you and we say that the future of Rugby League at Odsal can be assured.

Please be so kind as to set this in motion now before the present clause expires and publish irrefutable written evidence for all Bulls fans to see that the future of Rugby League at Odsal is guaranteed for at least the next 50 years and we trust the related document signed by the Bulls owner (Mr Chalmers), you, the Head Lessee, and the Council will be published for all to see and registered at the Land Registry.

We trust that Kersten England and Nigel Wood will in particular share in this virtuous Common Purpose.

Once again Damian thanks for your kind and supportive response. You are a star.

P.S. [iWe do have one query re what you said in your above tweet which is at odds with what one of our Council sources tells us. We are told that your new mate, Daniel J from Manchester, has already been given permission by Bradford Council's Kersten England, Julian Jackson and Susan Hinchcliffe to build houses at Horsfall. Belcki would like to put a deposit down on the first plot.[/i

I have to say, this makes for terrific entertainment.

DJ From Manchester?!?!? What kind of house are they building???? I must say I can't wait for the day Carl Cox fires up the old 1s and 2s in da Horsfall!!!! Oi oi!!!!!

Anyway, Leecki, time for my tin foil to get an outing!

Why would you be sooooooo averse to Bradford having their lease terminated and compensated for in any sale of Odsal, especially as the council would have to look to re-home the Bulls and presumably PA using the considerable funds the site *could* release with a sale to the right person.

You worried a resurgent Bulls in a decent stadium would push out a poorly homed KR or even Wakey perhaps when the overlords return to licencing post '21?

Is that why the overlords wanted to buy Odsal? To put a clause in stating the 'Odsal must become a Millstone round Bradfords neck to ensure CH is the highest the could possibly think about'

What fall out zone from Nufarm is that.

The HSE has written to Bradford Council setting out the risks of developing a sports facility so close to this plant.

The letter said: “There are a range of major accident hazards that may affect the development site from nearby NuFarm Ltd., but risks are dominated by an incident that could involve a drifting cloud of dense toxic gas, large enough to cover the whole site.

“Such an incident could lead to multiple fatalities amongst people who are outdoors at the time.”

This was in the T and A regarding the current plan for the land.

So Mr Irvine you have gone quiet.

Us fans will be in touch soon with news of the Twitter vote, and more.

Zzzz

I'm sure he's quaking in his boots

Twitter vote? Sounds definitive - they'll probably vote to blow up an airport...

also wonder why belcki is popping up on the Halifax board asking about new signings?

Does Belcki actually stand for the most Boring Embarrassing Laughable Clueless King sized Irritant that ever walked the planet.

Shut up you Top Hat.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the terms of our lease are that if we are moved then it has to be to a suitable minimum capacity 16,000 stadium within 4 miles.

So no.
