    One capable of displaying some sense of its standing measured against some the infantile zero history operations we'll be rubbing shoulders with in 8 weeks time ?

    My point was that we've spent more time in the bottom two divisions than anything else which is right?

    Do we start with more points because we have a but more history?

    I think we have had this debate on numerous occasions. Bradford is in the Pennines. Given the topography there are very few sites which could readily hold a suitable stadium, which are near a range of vital transport links. Luton are building a smaller stadium than VP. Where do you think this stadium should be located?

    I’m not trying to be funny, but how do you come to that conclusion?

    Prem: 12 years
    Champ: 30 years
    L1: 39 years
    L2: 23 years

    7 of those season’s spent in L2 have come in the last decade. Historically speaking, we’re a top half L1 - lower Championship club.

    So no, we haven’t spent the majority of our existence in lower 2 divisions.

    As per my post above, my data is historical.

    We’ve spent more season’s in the Champ than L2. Fact. Bottom line.

    I don’t know what else you want me to say.

    WINNER


    It needed to be explained and said. Simple !!

    Plan NOW for a near City Centre Sports Village ......... With full trimmings. The more that is delayed, the further we get from progress (as a City), and the more Leagues 1 & 2 are engraved in our History (as BCAFC).
    Bradford has the land and potential ........ Why wait ??
    Holy schitt ........... News bulletins go overboard at Cycle race events, in the region. Those very same Cycle races could well be included, but over shadowed by a full Sporting Village ideology............. IN BRADFORD.

    I totally disagree, Rod.

    Take a close look at available land around the Bradford City centre ........ Add to that, compulsory purchasing of needed land would be far offset by the success of such a venture.
    Bradford City Council need to enter the 21st Century ........
    For over 50 years BRADFORD has 'talked' about improving road and rail links - Because in the late 1960's, both were deemed to have a limited shelf life. Little has changed, so our road and rail networks are less than fit for purpose now, than they were in the 1970's !!

    I offer past (distant) discussions .......

    a) A Single 'through' Railway Station in Central Bradford (Edit; They missed an ideal gateway and opportunity to do just that when allowing the Broadway Centre to be built ....... Imagine - Step off a train, and 30 seconds later you're in a shopping mall !!)
    b) The M606 ........ Linking the centre of Bradford directly into the motorway network.
    c) Compulsory purchase orders to ensure Bradford had a truly workable Ring Road.
    d) (Latterly) ... The Bingley bypass to be just a stage which would include a much needed Saltaire/Shipley bypass, with ready links from Baildon and the A629, on the other side, eventually merging with the Aire Valley Road. (Which could have been the extended M606).

    That's just four.
    Each of which were said to be too expensive, or not needed.

    The reality is .......... They ARE needed now, but the cost is now way beyond us, ten fold.

    Has the OP got any idea how much money Rangers have been haemorrhaging?

    I’ll add to this.....Rangers and Celtic would not survive in the PL and the remainder of the SPL would not survive in the EFL Championship.
    Scottish football is a very poor standard.

    er..... I think your numbers actually show that we have! 62 years in lower 2 divisions, 42 years in top two divisions. We were formed in 1903 so there are 15 years missing somewhere in your number but ....anyway.... Using the number above I think that constitutes "the majority of our existence". Maybe you don't.

    How about we get rid of that out of town but in town strip mall just the other side of the railway lines from Midland road. There is ample space for a stadium and parking and it is flat! How about buying Park Avenue cricket and what is left of the football ground, indoor cricket. Again plenty of room for a stadium to meet our needs. Parking not so good there though. These are off the top of my head I am sure there are lots of other sites that 'could' be used.

    Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Odsal Stadium build it up and they will come ! A beacon at the gates of a once Great City that could shine a light in the darkest of corners. Natural bowl and ampitheatre; great transport links. Its proven over and again move ground rebuild club onwards and upwards. City progressivism at its zenith !

    Who will come?. Good transport links for away fans, i will give you that, but not, I suspect, for the majority of the fans that matter.

    Except every time it is suggested there is uproar from the majority of City fans
