The land is in a prime location. Only problem is that it has a bloody massive hole in the middle of it surrounded by rubbish of unknown substances.

It's hardly rocket science.
Couple that with retail, hotels etc and old police station site there's enough land and opportunities to shake a stick at.
Let's see what happens.

Whoever takes over needs to start with a clean slate.

Others/combustable.gif Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012.
By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:
Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif |

| This STILL not resolved?
I fail to believe that this should drag out the way it has been doing.
Just another bad chapter in a shambolic last few years for the club.

Well, allegedly, there has been interest from someone who wants to build a massive recycling plant on the site, though exactly [or even very vaguely] what this companies plans for the rugby are we've heard even nothing.

In the spirit of identity guessing, and since we've all read about unknown substances in the landfill, may Bongser politely point out that
KCn is the formula for Potassium Cyanide
Ba for Barium &
BT for a certain phone provider.

Spot on Woolly.
The site was used for tipping up to the 1930s - a time when chemicals of any, and every, sort were used indiscriminately, without licence, by people working in all sorts of industries who hadn't a clue what it was or what its problems were. This was dumped in sites like Odsal, without any note taken of what, or where, it was - it was just rubbish and it went on the tip.
It's been covered over. Legend says it lies a metre or so below ground level but if it were to be disturbed, Pandora's box probably wouldn't compete. It would need a specialist company to remove the stuff - when you'd found out which kind of specialist you needed.

So Odsal remains as what for perpetuity ? , eventually something has to give , it isn't viable as a Sports stadium any longer , if the Bulls remain there all we will see is more of what we are now witnessing , is anybody going to seriously throw 20/30/50 million at it to use as an ' event ' venue of any kind ?

It needs some forward thinking from both the RFL and Bradford Council. Something at which neither are very good at.
Maybe they should have a meeting together with any possible new owner and come up with a plan to move things forward. The administrator would be happy with that....

Has Odsal ever been viable in the full time era ?

| Surely it wasn't Odsal that wasn't viable but selling tickets for next to nothing for years that made it unviable?
