Having to pay out that level of maintenance plus rent and rates on top, then trying to put together a competitive team without a rich backer is always going to go the same way'" I'd have to question that figure is it annually?
there is no way on this earth is that a true figure, someone has plucked it from fresh air

| If the R.F.L. are stuck with the crumbling edifice that is Odsal, then it serves 'em right for their duplicitous actions in this appearingly never ending saga - jeez, we thought Brexit was bad!
I've not being following the latest shenanigans, but is there any truth in the rumour of Nigel Wood's involvement? The bloke who's mitts were all over the original cock-up, & who walked away with a £300K severance package to boot! Maybe he's finally got a conscience over his original involvement, or maybe he's got another cunning plan?

because they didn't have to. Odsal was a council owned and run ground. Prior to the club leaving Odsal for the 2001 & 2002 seasons, an agreement was reached with the then board headed by Chris Caisley, that for a nice big lump sum payment from Bradford Council to the Bulls and the Bulls agreeing to take over the running costs of the stadium.
Caisley then spent the money on having the Coral Corporate stand built and wasted the rest in a p!$$ing contest with Leeds over Iestyn Harris.

I understand that it was the RFL's deal and as such, they are left "holding the baby" but, are they not trying to cover the annual cost by withholding part of the Sky monies that would usually be distributed to the SL clubs ?

Yeah. So didn’t spend enough on their ground. They were spending it on players instead. They bought success with money that should have been spent on their facilities and infrastructure.
