We’ve spent more seasons in the Champ than L2.

 

Stay of the buckfast mate? We are in great danger of doing a Orient if we don't get rid of some of our jellyfish players. I would not worry about a 100 points at this moment in time

 

Your stats say 62 years in bottom 2 leagues and 30 in championship level

 

No, my stats say 69 years in the Champ/L1 and 62 years in L1/L2.

 

I assume by L2 you mean 4th tier. You have conveniently forgot to mention that for about half of our existence there wasnt a 4th tier,

 

They should have done it when the hospital closed before it was sold off to build houses. It would have been a massive site for a sporting village. Now even with the Richard Dunn's site I'm not sure it would be.

 

Where is the money going to come from and where would you situate the sports village??

 

Why does a club with a pretty modern stadium need a more modern stadium again?

 

You need to look at the stats for the % of fans that travel to VP from the other side of town to Odsal I.E Idle, thackley, Shipley, Bingley, Wilsden, Keighley Etc. Moving to odsla could add another 20 mins to the journey dependant on match day traffic.

 

The staff at Lynfield Mount need to stop leaving the computer room door unlocked.

 

As a stadium Odsal has a lot of potential but it really does need vast amounts of dosh spending on it. Probably the best site has already been mentioned, the retail park next to the Midland station. It's central, just off a major ring road and next to a railway station. Oh and it's within staggering distance of N.Parade. That idea is for the fairies though, will never happen.

 

Pubs.
Chapel House, Guide Post, White Swan, Ancient Foresters, Garden Shed(the old Wibsey WMC) Market Tavern, Top House, Woodman, Red Lion, Q Gardens,Drop Kick.
Food Outlets,
New KFC on roundabout at Odsal, McDonalds, Pearls Tearoom & Patisserie, Toby Carvery, t' Chippy ( Odsal Top), Pizza Hut Halifax Rd Domino Pizza Manchester Rd and several fast food outlets in Wibsey itself that would certainly open early on a Saturday to catch football fans.

 

I don't see why. Nothing that you could to do odsal that cant be done to modernise VP. Its a 26k all seater stadium and it is showing its age a lot but if we were to progress up the leagues then money would be found to do it up. Just seems like throwing a lot of money where we could just refurb VP. Yes it's in a poor area but thats where we need to engage with the community around the club. Bear in mind the last encounter local residents had with city fans was being racially abused so why would they be invested in it. For all its worth I just don't think we'd get that many benefits from a move.

 

Luton Town you go through someones back yard, Darlington (Feethams) you had go the a park to get to the ground.

 

Good for away fans but bad for home fans.

 

You say that you dont go anywhere near Valley Parade other than for football.
Just out of interest, if we moved to Odsal, other than football, what would you be going to Odsal for?

Valley Parade is a good location due to being so close to the city centre, theres a good selection of pubs on North Parade for those who enjoy a pre match pint.

Not quite sure what you think the majority of fans want on matchday, to warrant a move to another area, be interesting to hear what you mean

 

Why?
It's a perfectly reasonable, civilised discussion. One of the few that hasn't descended into personal bickering recently. If you're bored with it, just stop reading.
