Hi all

My brother works as a postman and was today delivering to the groundsman at Bradford city.
The groundsman told him that as soon as the football season ended work started on extending the changing rooms to accomodate rugby league requirements ??!!

Not sure how much truth there is in this but it does seem something of a coincidence.

Great source.

Reminds me of the time circa 1999 that we were supposed to be signing Andy Farrell on the basis that someone knew a postman who had started delivering letters to someone with that name living in Otley.

I think the groundsman was joking, generally football changing rooms are bigger anyway. Football have a bigger match-day squad for a start.

And ego's...... Good luck with all the crap guys....

Is Odsal though a financial liability or is it a money spinner.

Big ground but old and not very consumer friendly.

I wonder whether trying to run it becomes something of a black hole for any potential new investor ?

I can't see how a ground the size of Odsal can be sustainable without crowds >10k. Makes a ground share more realistic, with shared overheads. Don't know where that leaves RFL with the head lease though.

Sounds all pretty academic now really, what with no club and all.

Who will you all be following next year; Leeds , Cas, Wakey or Hudds

Bradford. Whether that means SL, Championship or no club at all.

I fear there is a real danger of a number of fans falling out of love with RL.

This.

Bradford or none, and if none I'll use my RL money to buy better NFL international tickets each year instead.

On the thread title, whilst I think the op info is...dubious, shall we say. I can see any continuation of Bradford RL ending up at VP sooner or later.

I just cannot understand that attitude.

Sorry but I agree with Ewwenorfolk, Im Bradford Till I Die.

You probably never will - but that's not to condemn your approach. You love Rugby League and you have a much weaker affiliation to your chosen club. I love the sense of community and continuity that supporting the club of my home city and my family gives, and I have a much weaker affiliation to Rugby League. If there is no club that is in and identified with Bradford and the legacy of the club currently known as the Bulls, then there will be no club for me. As I like RL, I'll watch when I come across it on TV, but not having Sky, that effectively means a couple of times a year in the Challenge Cup in the BBC.

Never, never, never and never.
