| Quote: isaac1 "Now City pay 1m per year in rent, and the current Chairmen want to buy the stadium back for the club. Gordon Gibb will not entertain selling it, or even negotiating about it as he is on a big earner (5years @1m
The rent (currently) is around £350k a year, the £1m figure that has suddenly started to be banded around includes all overheads (bills etc) which, until recently, the club has publicised was all taken care of by renting out office space in the business centre etc.
As I said above this all reeks of posturing to put some pressure on Gibb because the rent figure is up for negotiation, I don't think he is doing anything wrong to be fair.
As a comparison Huddersfield Town paid around £650k rent to play in the Galpharm a couple of years ago, this may have included everything in terms of overheads (I'm not sure on that), but City certainly wouldn't be able to save a million a year by leaving VP, not to mention the penalty clauses that would be payable.

| Quote: Bullseye "I'm not sure Caisley had much option over Odsal when he was in charge. The council were clearly desperate to end the 1986 agreement as it was costing them a fortune. It was Hobson's choice. Either move back to Odsal and have the money to make some improvements and gamble on the Tesco groundshare coming through or move in at VP where the club had been losing money and fans.'"
A football team i can understand but this would be innovative to say the least  |

They could have a special area on the goalline for people that had scored three tries or less (and yes I know it should be fewer)

Sorry if a link has been posted that I've missed, but if not;
rlBulls / Bantams groundshare from the BBC websiterl
rlT&A versionrl
Seems unlikely to me, always worth considering, but ultimately unlikely. |

The concept is an excellent idea and maybe the final push needed to roll the snowball over the hill.
My concern is that we are led down the garden path looking at a scheme that is totally dependent on City involvement only for them to pull the plug and leave us back at square one. |

Yes, but do you think it's likely?  |

Agree with you mate.
If they do move to Odsal then it should be us who are calling the shots, not ty City. |

Bulls own a stadium, don't make me laugh.
Leeching off public funds, while bleating about being hard done to, is what you meant to write there. |

Every fan thats been 2 odsal would say its time to build a new one before you shout me down there are at least several more in SL. Would you have to go and share with city 4 a year again like you did when the coral stand got put up. |

Why not just take the roofs off Valley parade, move them to Odslum and spend the spare cash on a contract for me? I'm the right age for you and live local
ps when we play you dont forget to put extra staff on your Heath Robinson 'scoreboard' - poor buggers are usually worn out
