Ahh the Bradford Northern days, oh how i miss them! What with sack the board, all the players are crap, sack Fox he couldn't coach his way out of his green bay packers coat, Caisley knows nothing about RL and should sod off back to Leeds, selling Odsal and moving in at Valley Parade.....................oh hang on!

I will allways be a Northern fan till the day i die! and i will do the same with the Bulls, allthough it is'nt be with the same pride i had for Northern, its allways got me as tacky the bulls brand, even down to the bull badge, you couldnt beat the Bradford Coat of arms or the boars head!

20 years on and the same old craps being spouted de ja vu or what????

Oh good, another debate. That will get it built. Pity we can't power the diggers with hot air...

If it ment getting Odsal redeveloped then I'd be happy sharing with virtually anyone. Oh that takes me back to my school days.

Every time Pendleton speaks he seems to be having a go at the Bulls, by whingeing about the councils' alleged extreme financial bias in favour of Bulls at the expense of City. His slant seems to be that the Bulls have for years been showered with reams of free money whereas poor old City have been ignored. The agenda is clear - they want to stay at VP at all costs, presumably paid for by giant subs from the Council, and for the Bulls to be kicked off Odsal and be second class citizen tenants paying huge rents etc through the nose to "ground share" the VP concrete monstrosity.

I find it odd that so many of the most vocal critics of City moving to Odsal seem to be under the impression that Odsal will remain in its current state when it is obvious that the OSV development is a pre-requisite.

Cos the majority of City fans are dumb?

Bradford Northern/Bulls have had plenty of years to sort themselves out somewhere to play without having to rely on the council have they not?

The council's mismanagement of Odsal since 1985/86 is largely the reason it's in such a mess now. Had they managed to complete the proposed development for the Speedway WC final then the ground would have had two completed stands and terracing all the way around plus additional buildings for the club. Unfortuantely the scheme went by the wayside when it was half complete, leaving the club with a ground less suited for RL than beforehand.

I can understand City fans wish to stay put. It's the same for Bulls supporters. It'll be a devil of a job to persuade either party to move across town.

The only way I can see city fans maybe moving is if the new OSV bears no relation to the present Odsal and is badged up 50/50 as Bulls & City. Even then many would be against it.

Similarly I can't see Bulls fans putting up with a move to VP unless the future of the club was at risk. That's more likely to be due to finance than any RFL marking too.

Yes, they've had billions sitting in the bank just waiting for a site to come up. The interest alone must run in to millions now. They should just buy Old Trafford and get on with it.

Well it's tough sh*t isn't it?

I'd love a much bigger and better place to live, but I aint whining that no-one else will sort it out for me, the reason the club is at the mercy of the council is because they, historically, never thought being in charge of their own destiny was worth it.
