| There were question marks over Harrison's fitness I think. I actually thought he'd retired, or was at least considering it.

| Quote: woolly07 "'" Quote: woolly07 "I think one sign we should be looking for is the good younger players in the next few months. If they sign on again with us after talking to their agents then they have probably being given some reassurance from the club - even if they can't say what.
If they start to sign for other clubs then they have no confidence in the club.
My gut feeling is something is happening in the background. Nothing adds up regarding the owners, coach and not spending at this moment. These people aren't stupid so what do they know about the future?
SL1 and SL2 with 10 teams in each is being strongly talked about. Four clubs will need to drop into the championship so who would they be.
Sheffield are refusing to allow Chisholm to move to us and will go to a tribunal. I can't think how they can do that. Can anyone explain how they can do that. If we are going back to the old system then Wakey and Sheffield may have problems purely down to their ground and gates. Salford gates are also awful so who knows how the RFL will pick the 20 SL1 & 2 teams and who misses out.
Next month the details will start to come out and we might find out why Lowe, Chalmers and Toovey decided to come to sunny Bradford. There must be a reason.'"
If ground criteria is to be met this time how will Odsal pass......its a hole a large brown one

If Belle Vue manages to pass, I would think anyone could.

That's true. It's not in great shape is it? At least at Odsal we do repair the crumbling concrete.
Maybe that's what we are doing wrong? Let's ditch the repairs and stop shelling out on the Academy and spend the money on some players.

To be fair to I know they do invest in the their academy. A few junior's from the local team are there.
But last visit to ground for Junior final was shocking. Our team Had to get changed in toilets opposite end to the main changing rooms.

And there isn't over Pryce? He can only train once a week on dodgy knees.

We never should have signed Pryce.

I think at the time it was the right thing to do, we had a very capable squad in place so Leon could have rolled out for the important fixtures where we lacked any organisation whatsoever or big game smarts to hopefully get in the top 4 (which I think we would have challenged top spot too) and have a good dig at promotion. At the point of scraping a squad together I agree with you as he is needed on the pitch and i'm sure he will be our highest paid player, and we can't afford that to be sat in the stands when his body starts giving up any more

Wrong way round. I thought we actually announce the signing first, then attempt to sign them up!

After making sure he is definitely still contracted to Warrington first.

Look, I'm fecked off about the way Cha-Lo have managed to turn a promising and unlikely season from triumph to looming disaster, not petty point scoring. The point is, competent and suitably financed management would have covered th hole in the pack one way or the other. We're only punters on a random forum but we all saw the train coming. Our management have dismally failed to fill the holes, and as a result, our brilliant youngsters have started getting creamed, as most of us knew, and said, they would, and we are running out of games to save ourselves, when we could have been almost safe by now. And still no pack good enough to be the 12th leas bad pack in the Championship.
So that's what I'm desperately worried about, not yah boo sucks.

Cheers for that. Sorry I was a bit terse with my reply, but it's clear we're on the same side.

In your fevered imagination, I expect it is. In reality, it has perfectly well maintained step terracing for ten thousand people with passed and compliant safety barriers and systems, a stand that holds over 5,000, and a large and modern hospitality building at one end.
The only thing it doesn't have is any roof over the terracing, but apart from that, which isn't a requirement, it ticks every box and would pass any RL assessment. As you know, because the truth is, you're just jealous of the iconic Odsal
