Precisely the moment I walked from the game entirely.

Pure chance that I hit "f" in the address bar on an old computer today and this site came up and I decided to take a nosy.

I may go to the odd non-Bradford game. I will certainly pick unreasonable fights with Welsh colleagues in my (north) Wales based employer. I will not put any money in to that club while that man is involved. When it all burns to the ground again I doubt I'll even notice.

I am very far from the only one with that view point.

The club has always struggled financially while it's had to pay for stadium upkeep itself. The only time it did not was 1986-2000 when the Council paid for the upkeep. It's no coincidence that the club's fortunes went downhill fairly quickly after the re-development fell through in 2002/3.

One thing that always puzzled me was Chalmers saying how unaffordable Odsal was when he was quite clearly spending nothing on it - but I suppose he didn't have two brass farthings to rub together when Wood approved his application sio he was never able to spend anything.

Things behind the scenes are more unclear than ever and I trust Wood about as far as I could throw him but he must know whether a move back to Odsal is affordable or not. I just hope it's not predicated on yet another poop or bust tilt at SL.

A poop from Wood will bust anything it lands on.

As evidence I submit the sport of Rugby League.

You've no idea what the cost of maintenance is. Maintenance costs go up and down depending on what needs fixing or replacing. It isn't index linked. There is only one stand and only the roof is an actual structure. The terracing is not that old.

I don't see how the RFL can help the Bulls return to Odsal financially than they are already doing.
My understanding is that the rent they charged was very reasonable and the RFL being penurious i can't see how they can reduce it if the Bulls returned and certainly won't be able to help with the Maintenance costs, Nigel Wood is kidding himself if he thinks this will happen, but he could proof me wrong.
He's leaving the RFL for me raised more questions than answers

Maintenance costs never go down year on year.
If the Bulls can't afford to pay there share of maintenance costs they won't be returning to Odsal, and for the record I WANT THE BULLS TO RETURN TO ODSAL

We’ve no idea what’s going on behind the scenes and being honest I’ve more faith that every single COVID contract handed out to a Tory donor or peer was above board than the shenanigans around odsal stadium.

Well that pretty much takes things forward if the Stock car people have got on board. I read about the idea but didn't know that was now on. So if the overheads for the stadium have maybe been shared somewhat and maybe even reduced to get Bulls back to Odsal I really do welcome it enormously and would guess all their fellow "big clubs" will do as well.

The "club" hardly got much sympathy when they went under, but its different people there now, so I am right behind it and look forwards to Superleague benefitting from it despite Nigel Wood being there

albeit I'm at a loss to understand the venom against him.....

Stock cars are in the final stages of getting a safety certificate, first event is next Saturday.

This positive news of what the plan is and that the plan is working contrasts heavily with the idea Bulls need to find £Millions they ain't got and so will never get back to Odsal or be a Superleague club ever again. I hope all goes great for the stock cars.......

It will be interesting to see who has priority at Odsal now there Stock cars are back
