Most liked posts in thread: Bulls to leave Odsal

Horsfall’s big enough for ‘em these days.

 

I can't see how they can to be honest. they had to get special permission from the Super League last time as the pitch is too small for rugby league.

Also on a much more selfish note, it would totally f**k up the one thing Edin got right. Can't see Bowyer being happy with this unless it gets him 2 or 3 top quality players from what they're gonna pay us

 

Sorry I didn't realise there was another thread. But surely a groundsharing possibility should be on the main city board

 

It's owned by Rfl isn't it

 

Would be the correct answer for the long term.

 

Exactly, puts pressure on RFL. Odsal needs money spending on it, falling into disrepair. RFL won't want to be stuck with the stadium and no tenant.

 

At the moment yes.

 

But where would it go?

 

RFL deserve Bulls leaving if they are so inept not to make them sign a lease after the last admin.

RFL will be left paying rent on the ground and having to keep to the lease they now have with the council

 

That's all part of the vision required. Too bad the council have committed to being the City of Culture. All the cash will be going on that no doubt. Quite how that will benefit the people of Bradford in the long term I'm not sure.

 

Looking at where a majority of current fans for both clubs live means there isn’t a location that is easily accessible for both current groups. I can not see either club wanting to upset their loyal fan base

 

@king karl I haven't been up thete since 1997. Which is the coral stand side?
As an aside my mate ( whose a City fan) took his stock car up there for some kind of demo before and half time when the Bulls played the Cougars last season

 

Report in T&A seems to say that the Bulls can’t afford the £72,000 they have to pay in maintenance a year at Odsal. Don’t think they are paying rent. Only receive £150,000 from RFL. Can’t seeing them paying half the VP rent. They should move to Wagon Lane.
