    And a pitch resembling a ploughed field just when we seem to have got it finally sorted!

    Just need to look at who started the thread to decide how much credence to give this "rumour".

    Bradford Council & Rugby League can feck off. The last thing we need are this bloody inept excuse for a council poking their noses in to our business

    Nonsense. If Naz Shah or her labour cronies on the council were interested in purchasing Valley Parade, it wouldn't be for sport

    The council can do one for me. They had no interest in helping us when the shit hit the fan with the administrations, although they creamed themselves when the city had a premier league football team. They have pumped money into Odsal stadium for
    decades and thus supported the bulls . Had pie in the sky pipe dreams for redevelopment for the past 70 years , all on somebody else's money. If Bradford council get their hands on VP , it will be ruined in 12 months.

    The council are looking at ways to "make it disappear" so they don't have to maintain it as a listed building. I'm sure there are one or two professional arsonists round here they could employ.

    3 points ...

    1. The pitch aint big enough and was only allowed as a temporary measure last time
    2. there aint enough runoff outside of the pitch to stop players clattering the hoardings
    3. RL finals get over 60k ... Thats one hell of a re development

    They do not need much parking on their current attendances 3004 for a Yorkshire derby last weekend and that includes the free children's season tickets. One of my employees takes both of his daughters for nothing, one has told him she much prefers football after they got tickets to the Colchester game.

    Might be something in it this time!!!!!! Midland Road pedestrianised and linked by a bridge to North Parade. Create a huge fan zone and facility fit for RL finals/ semi finals.

    Rugby League has been irrelevant for far too long for anything like this to materialise.

    If it could be done right with money spent on the pitch and surrounding areas then it could be a good thing with the lease winding down.
    But it’s probably just another non starter.
    A successful Rugby club in Bradford would thrive and a joint ownership could be a big help financially

    Absolutely. Bradford Council have proved time & again they cannot organise a piss up in a brewery, we would be no better off and would suffer in the long term

    There is very little that can be achieved at the old Bradford end, as previous plans have proved

    It'll never happen anyway - total non-starter

    Unbelievably the council spent £600,000 on their levelling up bids which included a ridiculous proposal for 50 million on Odsal stadium. The usual artists impression of a covered super dome were in the T&A. The bids were turned down by the government so another waste of money from our council.
