Same, it's a nice stadium in the heart of Bradford. Loved it all the time we were there. Nice and close to the action too and stewards that let me and my fam into the vip bar every other week without fail for nothing. Top stuff.

agree and I don't know why the area is an issue as I do not go to games to hang around outside the stadium.

| It's swings and roundabouts I suppose in terms of a move out of Odsal.
For a fact, I know of at least three or four firends based Bingley way who would obtain season tickets if we were located at Valley Parade, but pick and choose the games at Odsal for transport and weather reasons.
It would also work the other way I'm sure with current season ticket holders from around Wibsey for example, who'd pick their games at Valley Parade.

| The Bradford Bulls playing somewhere not in Bradford would pretty much be unthinkable.

| For the amount of money being spent on reports and studies etc at Odsal the council could buy V.P and set up a 3 way Stadium trust with us and City. This would create a stable home for both clubs and the income from the function suite and other hospitality areas properly run would help finance the stadium trust a win win situation. I know this has been said before but if the will is there from both clubs it could happen . This said if Odsal could be made a viable proposition for a sensable cost then it is our traditional home. Its all down to finance and long term viability but in the end home is where the Bulls play,

| I don't like VP. It's designed for a football crowd, not rugby.
I think this whole stadium thing is a load of balls to be honest. Like many other clubs, we're being forced to invest in things that we don't really need.
What changes are [ireally[/i needed to the facilities to make Odsal better for the fans rather than the corporate crowd? A roof would be nice when it's raining but the flip side is that when it's sunny Odsal is a fantastic place to catch the rays and watch rugby. There's space to chill before the game rather than standing in a cramped bar under a stand or on the terraces. You can move from one place to another if you want to as it's standing rather than sitting in one place in a souless all seater stadium which even the football clubs are beginning to think is a bit over the top.
There's a pitch. The views for the match are fantastic. There's seats for those who want to sit. There's toilets. There's food. There's drink. There's parking outside the ground. Everything else is just window dressing.

| I'm surprised we're having this debate again, VP is too short for rugby and the walls behind the posts are an accident waiting to happen. Players running full tilt towards a dead ball line just three or four feet short of a brick wall shouldn't be allowed imo. In any case, we lost more than enough support the last time we were there, and that was only for a temporary period.

| Us playing at Fax is as likely as Cas & Wakey merging and playing at Fev.

| Apart from the unsuitability of VP as a rugby ground that Bullica mentioned the area has to be a concern. I agree we don't go to a match to hang around outside the stadium but we have to leave our cars somewhere and last time there was a lot of vandlised cars, there was one incident where a row of cars had 3 and 4 tyres per car slashed.
I'm not say Odsal is perfect but imho it's less of an issue at Odsal......
