    Not getting at you, but it's always "can't do " with Bradford, City or Bulls.

    You can cycle along the canal to Wagon Lane from Idle in about 30 mins, there is a train station in Bingley, there are buses.................ok, to me it's the wrong area for their fans, they'd have been better off going to Dewsbury but fook me, it's not hard to get to Bingley, it's not in Peru.

    Wagon Lane as a capacity of 4000 with quit a good club house this is hell of a step down for the cattle. Unfortunately for the fans promotion is slipping by and with no help from the RFL and Bradford Council it looks like your being put out to graze. Oh and by the way Wagon Lane is suspect to flooding.

    I am trying to picture 4000 Bulls fans getting to Apperley Bridge, and then cycling on the canal tow path to Bingley!!

    Looks like wagon lanes not on the hit list

    Dewsbury
    Horsfall
    odslum
    Or a very remote chance of valley parade but 800k to 1.2m to upgrade the pitch...

    I reckon Dewsbury, decent ground and match day facilities. There’s a nice all weather training pitch next door too.

    I recon they will stay where they are

    They will lose so much support it would be financial suicide

    Cant see many more than a couple of thousand traveling anywhere out of Bradford

    Have the bulls jumped the gun

    The rfl have not ratified the move.. and they own the odsal lease and want a team playing there

    Interesting times

    The Bulls virtually finished and City in the bottom half of league 2, sport flourishing big time in Bradford.

    Spot on, Roger. Why the people of Bradford couldn't be proud of both teams, with the money and exposure it created is beyond me and quite sad really. It’s like a another nail in the coffin for the city. Extremely sad times.

    Sad news. Another nail in Bradford's sporting coffin. Shame nothing could be made of it, but Bradford just never had enough people of vision to make any scheme become reality.

    Absolutely heartbreaking for a Bulls fan who supports both clubs like myself, I've witnessed some fantastic moments at that ground and it'll be such a shame to leave, but it's an absolute fortune to maintain and we just cannot afford it anymore.
