If Odsal is worth so much the obvious choice is to let the council get that money in and spend some of it on a new stadium for the Bulls and Park avenue. Or is that too obvious. I bet Green and some councillors have thought of it. I have been going to Odsal for 40 years and it is still a dump of a hole in the ground. Some of the new small grounds that rugby and football clubs are now getting look great. Saints cost £25m. Odsal is worth much more than that as a tip then development. Where is the problem apart from sentimental arguments?

| Quote: Bullseye "As has been said already its the cost of maintaining Odsal that's a big expense and one that no other clubs are lumbered with.
I'd hope for a rent reduction and can see us just opening the main stand for games where we don't expect to exceed 5k.
We may survive muddling along but it'll need long term investment to get back to competing in SL. I think we can break even if the business is run properly.'"
don't think that's true is it, can't speak for other clubs but why do you think the fans have done so much work at BV |

| Quote: Bulliac "No-one said the Bulls were the only club with maintenance costs. It's just that the costs of looking after an 'iconic' ground the size of Odsal are way above those of a modern, breeze block and plastic, construction. Odsal with its new 'iconic' status is more akin to a listed building, with costs to match - to be blunt it is a money pit with no bottom.'"  hang on akin to listed building, but the flats and the seated area are quite modern its only the hole in the ground and surrounding perimeter that is anything like yesteryear |

No they don't. Bradford council does. RFL leases it then we sub lease it. |

The council own it. The RFL have the long lease [ifor as long as Bradford play 90% of their home games there[/i |

I seem to remember the last time a plan to build a new stadium was mooted it was vigorously opposed by one G. Sutcliffe MP?

Green said this morning, ie before most of the posts about alternatives to Odsal, that he had no plans to move away. |

| Quote: Bullseye "
I said during administration that it was a "Koukash or bust" situation since you need the backing of a millionaire with money to fritter away to survive in SL (unless you happen to be in Leeds). Green isn't that man.'"
Hope I'm not going to get crucified for my opinion.
Would next year be the perfect time for Mrs.Koukash to make another bid?
You have the fan base, as has been proved with your success.
There would be no direct conflict with any other club in the league. |

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true. Or is it something worse?: |

That's pretty good. Have a look at this:
Hitler reacts to the news that Bradford Bulls might be relegated and in the same division as Keighley ..enjoy

(BTW dont watch if a few four letter words offend you  - strictly adults only !! ) |

That's a new one I've never seen that done before.
Keighley will be a really nice town when it arrives in 2010.

No no no the best way forward is to just make up lie after lie about moving into a new ground that meets the basic requirements |
