I think those sites you mention would create all kinds of traffic carnage wouldn't they? I used to work in Listerhills and you were running a gauntlet driving home on a night. Great Horton Road and Canterbury Avenue were always fun experiences.

It would be a nightmare having fans driving through the middle of town to get there.

There are pubs close to Odsal. There's the one right on the roundabout right, a few walking distance down Manchester Road (the Woodman is it?). There is also one along Halifax Road that is within walking distance.

All that said, I would prefer to drink in the bars and pubs in town and walk up to Valley Parade if we just stay where we are!

 

I get what you mean but if the pie in the sky talk of a redevelopment ever actually happened then it is a good location to draw in external visitors if the venue was used for other purposes beyond football or rugby. Any new development needs to be multi purpose so City and the fans would only be a part of the wider picture.

It is good for those of us home fans based that side of town too. Those in Low Moor, Bierley, Scholes, Oakenshaw, Wibsey, Brighouse, Wyke and Cleckheaton etc would find it as easy to commute to as those in Bolton, Eccleshill, Idle and Thackley do to VP now!

That said, I was a kid when City played there before so I don’t have those bad memories. It still wouldn’t quite feel the same watching City anywhere other than VP for me though.
