Quote: Donnyman "This seems to be the definitive statement on leaving Odsal.............

"Announcing the groundshare agreement earlier this month, Chalmers blamed the cost of rates, rent and maintenance for the decision to leave Odsal - Bradford's home for 85 years". So these were the issues......Here's an old news story.......

[iThe Rugby Football League have bought Odsal Stadium from the Bradford Bulls and will rent it back to them.The game's governing body say they have paid an undisclosed sum to add the famous Yorkshire ground to their property portfolio, with the Bulls becoming tenants of the home they have occupied since 1934.. Bradford chairman Peter Hood confirmed that his club had made the initial approach to the RFL and hailed the announcement as 'excellent news'.[/i

Further information and analysis would be welcome from any knowledgable fan, all I can recall is Bulls feeling stung on the rent and rates and pulling out of the City in protest. So it could be Nigel Wood has put together a financial plan for Bulls to be able to operate in Superleague from Odsal that includes much lower levels of rent and rates charges from the RFL and the council?

I appreciate your desire for Bulls to actually win promotion, I also appreciate the desire of 9 big Superleague clubs to just hoist them back into Superleague 2022 so they can get the income from the Bulls fanbase to mitigate the lower TV deal. But would they do this? maybe Derek Beaumont can comment?? So the obvious questions are will the RFL reduce the rent?
Will the council reduce the rates?
Maintenance costs never reduce they only go up.
I note the quote " SO IT COULD BE NIGEL WOOD HAS PUT TOGETHER FINANCIAL PLAN FOR BUL TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IN SUPER LEAGUE FROM ODSAL THAT INCLUDES MUCH LOWER LEVELS OF RENT AND RATES FROM THE RFL AND THE COUNCIL" So Mr Wood hopes that the RFL might reduce the rate,but the RFL is penurious at the moment for obvious reasons, and zero chance of the council reducing rates and this seems to hiang on a return to Super League

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??
