    I deal with listed buildings in Bradford and have never seen rock terrace on any listings, they are approx 150 years old, but have no architectural or historical value.
    As for the houses behind the Dallas stand, these are back to backs, similar age and again have nothing special about them.
    The issue i understood with Rock terrace was the Council would not put in a compulsory purchase on City's behalf, so the owners asked for a price vastly above what city were willing to pay.

    You can accept being wrong for once that would make you a bigger man, its not that difficult to do.

    Ah but did he realise at the time of purchase the stadium was not part of the deal, I believe FLPF owned the ground at the time not BFG.

    Yes I believe Richmond was hoping a compulsory purchase order would benefit the club, but unfortunately Councillor Collard preferred to follow his Wembley of the North project.
