Quote: Pumpetypump "I've followed Bradford for 35 years or so and am just as mystified by the practicalities of returning to Odsal as anyone else. I think it's fair to say we are rather cynical about big Nigel generally, particularly his historical involvement in Odsal sagas, and his role in turning down wealthy groups of people who bid for the club. Appointing friendly and compliant people with no money has clearly been a deliberate choice, it's just we are yet to understand why. You might cynically wonder if he's been central to a grand plan that has yet to reach fruition.

I'm not emotionally torn when it comes to Odsal anymore. I have had so many magical moments there but I've had enough of the place. It financially cripples the club I love, and it's entirely unacceptable for the 21st century. You have to invest hundreds of thousands to simply maintain it, and millions to give it the comforts people should expect to find. Stock cars putting in a lick of paint and a few barriers is not addressing the completely unsustainable state of the place. It's all dispiriting and I don't have any answers.'"


Why aren't you sharing with Bradford PA, as was once mooted?

As I remember, the ground is more central than Odsal and surely offers a sustainable future in Bradford.

Quote: snowie "I can only surmise that Bradford have been given a good rental deal hence why would you go back to the same money losing out

It should be announced what the deal is as this would then take away the thoughts they are being specially treated'"

I think I read somewhere, possibly on the Bulls forums, the rent on Odsal, is being split 3 ways, with the RFL paying one third, Bulls paying one third, can’t remember who’s the other party. If the RFL are paying any monies, that belongs to all the member clubs, they, the members have a right to know their money is being spent. If I’m wrong, then apologies.

You weren't asking a question just spouting off the usual rubbish about how the RFL bend over backwards to help us.

If you want to know how the club can afford it try reading the last few pages.

Apology accepted - you're well wide of the mark.

Maybe stock cars pay a third and maybe the other third was dropped because the rent was too great so there were no takers.

So the RFL cut the rent by a third and took the hit so Bulls and stock cars pay two thirds which is a lot better than nothing.

MB-BBB do I win the prize??
