    Like a lot of things, Social Services has changed dramatically over the years, some things for the better and some for the worse. In fact Social Services in respect of Children and Families no longer exists, having changed to Children’s Social Care a long time ago.

    As opposed to not-so-manky Manningham?

    Odsal isn't great but it is certainly better than Manningham.

    Manningham means business. It is also means doing u-turns up Carlisle Road and parking on the path with the indicators flashing too.

    I wonder how much GG and the Pension Fund would take for VP?

    Maybe the Council would be better off buying VP -would be much cheaper than building a brand new stadium so saving the taxpayer a bit-and sorting the pitch out once and for all and let the Bulls groundshare?

    Huddersfield ground is not that good for creating an atmosphere. The design in my experience does not retain all the noise/atmospheres created by the fans.

    I've been there when City played and seen various rugby semi finals and internationals and the atmosphere has been electric. Its the fans that create the atmosphere not the stadium.

    ................and sell Odsal for warehousing/light industrial or housing! Cover their costs in respect of purchasing VP plus create employment and ultimately Council Tax and/or Busines Rates

    Don't be ridiculous. A sensible idea like that will never be tolerated by Bradford Council.

    When we went there the season after we got to the Capital One Cup Final we took a full away end and as you say that night the atmosphere was great, it would have been better if Parky had put our strongest 11 out, if you remember he brought Wells on late in the game he scored and town were holding on.

    I'm afraid if City moved to Odsal, I wouldn't be going. It takes a while to get to Valley Parade, Odsal is impossible. I live the other side of the City. And don't drive

    Was that the time when Vaughan ran us ragged or was that just after Parky took over

    It was the Vaughan game, the season after we'd been to Wembley, Bradford boss Phil Parkinson had made seven changes to the 11 that drew at the weekend and threw on regular strike partnership Wells and James Hanson on the hour mark.

    No the design fails to retain the sound - the gaps at the corners do not help. The fans do help the atmosphere at all games - but to me one of the key points when designing a ground should be be to retain the sound of the fans.
