    Far too much is made of our ground and training facilities being owned. The facility for both are fine for our short and medium term needs. Investment on the recruitment side is by far and away our most pressing need.

    RD is not too small. Any proposed ground doesn't have to fit the sports centre footprint. Deary me, no wonder BCFC is a complete basket case.

    The footprint of the grounds of Richard Dunn Sports Centre is absolutely massive.

    Without knowing anything about where you can and can't feasibly build, you could fit Valley Parade into it at least 5 or 6 times. At LEAST.

    In fact, you could build Valley Parade on that land and leave RDSC to stand next to it.

    EASILY.

    Id like to see the drawing to prove it plus there are major Planning issues with Highways and many other things with local residents who complain about the Bulls matches and parking. I’ve looked at all this so don’t buy it

    RD is not too small. Wait and see. No wonder BCFC is a mess!!!
    Hopefully they will be published soon. But Woods is looking for a new stadium on the RD site.

    And BCFC should be looking at this. But I fear no one in BD8 has a clue what day of the week is most of the time.

    The park and ride scheme has a road straight down the middle of the Richard Dunn's site. How is that going to work with the stadium?

    Councillor Joan Clarke (Conservative) was elected as a Councillor for the Wyke ward last month. She said she had been delighted with news that the Bulls were once again returning to Odsal, and said news that the Richard Dunn site could be used for employment was promising.

    She said uses like a park and ride had been mooted for the large site, and added: "I think that would have been a waste of a prime location. We could have a massive stadium there if we wanted.

    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/19342549.employment-use-likely-former-richard-dunn-leisure-centre-site/

    Note that it is considered that there is room to build one of the 'most significant retail developments in West Yorkshire', whether that be a huge retail park or shopping centre.

    That there is room for a stadium of more than 2,000 capacity is beyond question.

    Room is no issue. You could literally fit Old Trafford on that site.

    Hunter Orrell, of WAGMI United, teamed with Shaquille O'Neal this Christmas and raised over $1,000,000 in 24 hours from a charity NFT sale with the proceeds going to 'kids'.

    They made over $2 million total for the Shaquille O'Neal Foundation.
