Grammar.

He is not a Bulls supporter.

Didn't say he was Adey.

would this mean the RFL will lose the Iconic ground...lol

** checks date on calendar **

No, its not April 1st

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more bizarre eh?



Isn't this the same Bradford City that almost went into Administration themselves at the end of last season? And actually have been in Administration more than once in recent years? It does beg the question of where the money is coming from - suggesting some form of fresh investment (Parkin?) or a quick sell-on to a third party (Caisley?)

It would seem unthinkable for City to pump £3million into the Bulls and then have the ongoing costs associated with Odsal. So one must surely assume they are thinking of a single stadium - and presumably that would mean Valley Parade (which, personally. I don't mind)

We await more information with bated breath

got ya

anyway , hope all works well and you survive as a club and HMRC gets most of the country's cash back instead of it being wasted etc

Really?

Must of missed that

I guess like must Bulls fans VP isn't my favourite ground - but as a price to be paid for continuing to exist - I can live with it.

Certainly from a pure economic basis there is some sense in effectively doubling the use of an expensive asset even if some Bulls fans choose not to make the journey to VP.

Just wonder where the money is coming from as City themselves seem to live on a hand to mouth basis and have been flirting with relegation?

Still as the pc version of the saying goes if you are a financially compromised your options are restricted and if some deal isn't stuck quickly the players and staff will all be gone.

Something not right here.

BCFC look like interim bidders and a front for someone else.

I just wonder who it could be?

Are there many solicitors around who also represent
players in the game?

Just wondered like.

Beggars can't be choosers but I really don't like this.

need to know more details but a couple of things spring to mind.

1. If we move to VP then we have to pay part of odsal settlement back to council (1.9mil I think), unless council waive it which could explain some comments from councillor Ward over last few weeks.
2. What level would season tickets be set at? VP is all seater so all fans that currently get ground admission are effectively going to be forced to upgrade to seated prices and I suspect eveon those will be higher than the pre-pledge family stand prices at odsal. So would expect a big dropoff in seaon ticket sales, probably down to 3kish level.
3. How would Rugby side be funded? Given one star signing for city would fund entire SL salary cap for a year, could see a potential conflict of interest issue.

on positive side playing at VP would remove ongoing problem of upgrading odsal and tick all stadium checkboxes. Assuming we stay in SL this license period would probably be guaranteed a license for 2014-2016 period too.

There goes the Wembley of the North then!

Maybe the season tickets will be BOGOF (no pun intended)
