WTF is going on Bradford have sold Odsal to the RFL and are renting it back off them !
Isn't that a conflict of interest of the RFL ?
Would they do it to another club that's outside Yorkshire ?
Seem to remember the RFL cutting Widnes loose and hanging them out to dry when they had problems !
Also seem to remember them telling us get a new stadium or your out of SL yet Wakey n Cas stadiums are still worse than Wilderspool !
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but it all seems very Yorkshire bias ! Unless it's Wigan that is !

ABW.:



Yes, your initial rant shows that you probably are getting it wrong. The RFL has bought Odsal and will now rent it back to Bradford. Don't shout and scream until you know the full facts (which none of us do yet). Some weeks ago there was a thread about the RFL buying its own stadium, most were in favour, but thought that financially it wouldn't happen. Did you know that Bradford is not the only ground in the RFL's portfolio?
Finally, is there any real need to swear on line?

Get it right Bradord bulls dont own Odsal,The RFL has purchased the leashold on Odsal .Bradford Bulls were paying a pepercorn rent to bradford council ,so now they will be paying a market value rent to the RFL .So that means the next to nowt rent they paid to Bradford city council, will in reality become considerably more

Wakefield board has gone into meltdown. Bradford board have mostly already decided this means they're much better off financially. Not much basis for either view at this stage. As set out above- devil is in the detail.

one of the reasons bradford arent competitive any more is down to the fact they spend an absolute fortune maintaining Odsal. Cash that should be spent on the type of players they used to enjoy is going on that relic. If they are decreasing this liability, i.e. passing it on to the RFL, surely this isnt right and is a conflict of interests?? Someone should get a Freedom of Information request in!

Why would that help? FOIA requests only apply to public bodies. Neither the RFL or Bradford Bulls are.

Mick Gledhill is saying on that other forum he is sworn to confidentiality for a week,but then all will be revealed,but the RFL said they have no immediate plans to redevelop the stadium,but if in the future they do have aspirations to develop it into the RL NATIONAL STADIUM that would be wonderful,but how on earth could the RFL generate that kind of finance?Like Gledhill said all will be revealed soon .Very interesting

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Who is to say that the RFL are paying for the maintenance? It is specific to the terms of the lease agreement.

So who assumes the responsibility for the stadia standard considering that it's one of the criteria for subsequent franchise determination ?

The day they move in to Valley parade, knock down Odsal and rebuild (yeah i know they need money) the better.

Or just ground share with BCFC.

Well according to wednesdays Sun that is what was going to Happen some wealthy businessman was going to buy the club and the ground and move them down to Valley parade sell odsal and make a personal PILE.So the RFL stumped up a 7 figure sum and bailed em out.No wonder Wakey fans are going barmey

I thought Bradford were told to make ground improvements to Odsal or it would effect their next SL licence application same as Salford Saints who have done something and Cas Wakey Bradford whom have not ! So who pays for a new stadia for Bradford ? Before the next SL Licence ! Or are they now exempt from the process ?

Unless it's Wigan. Yes, you're right, because we are now renting Central Park from the RFL....

You are right about the conflict of interest though. This is a very odd transaction. Let's leave Wigan out of this - how is this fair to clubs like Wire or Saints who have built new grounds but lost famous old grounds in the process? We all know what a struggle it was for Saints to get their new stadium built. How much easier the process would have been if the RFL had stepped in to help them.

Without more transparency on the deal, this just looks like Yorkshire bias and a desire to cover up the failure of the licensing process and SC to prevent clubs going bust.
