    We could develop Horsfall playing fields and share with the other Bradford club :)

    The point is that we need this be the aggressor in any negotiations about the ground.

    Everton took 5 years:

    a) They own their ground and can take the time.
    b) Less areas to build in Liverpool that are free.

    Gibb might not be a fool but Bradford City as a club are if we just allow Gibb to hold all the cards.

    We go into to this weak and we will get done over like we have for the last 20 years.

    What does it matter if Everton own their own ground or not if took them 5years + to find an area that was suitable for the new stadium when moving from Goodison Park.


    How do you go in stronger when Gibb does hold ALL the aces, he doesn't not need to sell because Gibb knows we cant afford a new stadium and there is nothing in our City or the surrounding area that we could share.

    Why has Gibb been so reluctant in the past to sell because the Valley Parade rent is giving the pension fund a far better return than he could get elsewhere.

    If we are talking to Gibb which Ryan confirmed we are I would think the best the club would get out of any deal would be for Stefan to buy the stadium through his holding company and possibly rent it back at more resonable rent, but it will still be owned by Stefan not Bradford City AFC.

    That should make for an interesting double header for me, Ryan Sparks at 6pm and Professor Didier Queloz at 7pm, football and astrophysics in one evening.

    On a more serious note, sounds interesting.

    Good choice. You can't beat a bit of Nobel Prize winning physics commonsense from Queloz re the future of our Earth. Plus er, some Bantam talk from Fordy.

    Have you ever seen Brian Cox and Fordy in the same room? I thought not. :) Things can only get better ​

    Good point! It might explain why Professor Cox was once heard muttering under his breath that the LHC is rubbish and CERN has no ambition! ;)

    I just wrote a piece re Colchester and their financial woes.

    Trust me a ground so far away from the city centre is a disaster waiting to happen outside the Prem.

    Fans are fickle...like it or not.

    That’s not intentional though is it, more due to circumstances. Not a fair comparison really.

    My eldest is in his final year at Manchester Uni studying Physics so had quite a few lectures by Brian Cox (pre pandemic!!). He always said they were really popular...didn't ever mention anything about seeing midgets though....

    Not the best acoustics but here if you want a listen, nothing ground breaking.

    Fast forward to 9 minutes as it does not start at the beginning for some reason.
