Would you prefer the Bulls at VP or no Bulls at all? It may yet come to that.

It may
Seeing the figures quoted, and the funding gap remaining, I was horrified. I sincerely hope we get minds put somewhat at rest at the fans' forum (if not before), cos looking at those numbers - in this decaying and dying city - in this dire economic situation - and with everything being dominated by the "Leeds City" part of the disgraceful "Leeds City Region" that some unelected w@nkers no doubt with their own agendas have dumped us in with - I'm struggling to feel hopeful.
I'll go further. I can't see the more expensive option being remotely viable - maybe its just there to provide a comparison. Maybe there would be a chance if City moved in too. Indeed, that may be the only way we'll ever see a stadium development. And what chance of that?
Just hope I am being unduly pessimistic here.

Incidentally i'd rather both teams had seperate grounds, but why So against the idea?

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

| Develop the project further? What is that supposed to mean. Surely we are at a point where we chose one and get cracking?

This is the council we're talking about here. "Get cracking" isn't a concept often seen in practice.

Indeed.
It just seems to be project group after project group with scheme refinment after scheme refinment.
It makes you want to jump in a JCB

Bugger the JCB. I'd be able to make a LOT more things happen VERY quickly.
Just need to borrow a tank.

I get the impression that option 2 is exactly what that is for.
A stadium used by two professional clubs all year round for two different sports is more likely to get the money.
I don't want an all seater stadium but I'd rather have that than no new stadium at all. This is our only chance IMO and we have to support it.

Too bloody right. Suggest writing to your councillors saying what a good idea this all is and that you'd vote for them if they supported it.

Typical politicians!
Dunno when the next local elections are but wouldn't be surprised if there were some next May.
