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

Fixtures for Stock Cars and Bulls were discussed together so they would avoid any clashes. Both are leasing stadium from RFL with no priority unlike what we see with Huddersfield and Hull FC who both come secondary to football.

Seems the guy who didn't want to pay while Bradford were in The Championship, is willing to fund a NRL club. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/12 ... um=twitter

Thanks for the facts and the considered view.

It doesn't correlate with the idea Bulls are dead and gone forever as a pro club

Well done big Nige..........

The club have confirmed that we'll be back at Odsal on Sunday for the York game.

Excellent news. What size of crowd will/may be allowed?

Capacity is limited to 4000 due to Covid as opposed to 700 at Tetley's stadium.

Not sure how many will actually attend.

Plus the club have only signed up to play there for 18 months as ongoing budgets remain unclear with central funding bring up in the air etc.
