Odsal Redevelopment, Council Finances, Council Services & The Private Sector

We live in hope

 

Top of the list - Barrat Homes

 

Amazon warehouse.

 

Good call. They got declined for the site off the A58 didnt they ?

 

I thought the ground Odsal is built on was contaminated,and could not,in its present state,be used for housing.

 

Biffa?

 

He he.

 

Mate the hollow pricks would have still been there had the wooly bullys not become shit.

As for happening at City soon ???
It would appear the worse we get the more our gates go up despite having a crap owner
Seems some clubs fans will support them no matter what while sum just make excuse after excuse not to go

 

Time to let it go fella. All this negativity will do you no good. Don't be jealous of the good times we had, the trophies we won, the unbelievable away followings. Best 10 years of my life in a sporting sense, met some wonderful people, got to watch some of the greatest rugby league players in the world up close and personal, the challenge cup wins at Murrayfield and Cardiff, those never forget nights in Huddersfield beating Newcastle, Penrith and Wests Tigers in the world club challenge. Or the pitch invasion at the Don Valley after securing the title in 97. Oh, can't forget the countless great games against the Rhinos, over 24,000 at Odsal on a balmy summers night. Those special nights at Old Trafford under the lights, bringing the trophy home to Bradford in 2001,03 and 05. I could go on but don't want to cause you too much pain.

 

That’s all in the past. Rugby League is a dying sport !!!

 

Your first part is right. Your second part is subjective. Great contribution though Silver, no honest...

 

Quite right Karl. The land to the South of the Stadium going towards Chain Bar is contaminated and venting methane, you can see the vent pipes all over the site if you visit.. The cost of making that area safe is huge as the material causing the gas has to be removed. In my career I did that twice, massive task and worth a punt if you build a cash generating development but a sports complex?, no chance without massive input from Local Authority or central Govt.

 

Venting Methane. Seems like the general gist of this whole forum !

 

The Yankees are taking over

 

They have a new shop in Broadway

 

On a side note I see Huddersfield Giants are worried that the football team are looking to buy out the council share in the ground which will leave them owning 80% with Giants owning 20%

 

Not surprised. Last I knew the commercial income is split three ways in respect of the stadium itself. The result of that is a Championship football club with only a smidge more commercial income than us apparently.
