Not from me there aren't! We might have had something already built by now if they hadn't constantly changed their minds over what they wanted.

We need to stay in Bradford if at all possible. Could the club come up with some sort of gradual plan to do up Odsal bit by bit (probably over the next 100 years!) that would satisfy the RFL. Then the club could concentrate on all the other things that go toward securing a license such as junior development, performance on the field and getting a decent crowd. As Hood said we got a grade B last time so why not again? The 10k season ticket holders must help the cause.

Would serve this dungheap council (latest iteration) right if one of the neighbouring local authorities stumped up some land and a grant or three just over the boundary. Say down near Chain Bar or at Midpoint. And were amenable to a Tesco store on-site. And we found some friendly developer and managed to get a basic stadium off the ground.

In fact a big new Tescos and a new stadium at Midpoint would be quite ironic, since the Tesco would be within a short walk of Morrisons' head office but Bradmet would have to provide the road access. Up yours Bradmet up yours Morrisons?

Would make a mess of the Service Areas though!

But I'm sure Bradmet would be delighted as they'd try to bask in the reflected glory at no expense to them. I imagine the T&A would be cranking up the bandwagon too.

I'd love it to happen but can't see Leeds, Kirklees or Calderdale Councils doing it unless it cost them nothing and could be spun as a vote winner somehow.

Don't suppose anyone is up for a name change to stuff the Council - to (say) the Calderdale Bulls or the Kirklees Bulls or even the Lee...

OK, maybe not.

Thornbury Bulls would be fine by me.

How about we change our name to a squiggle, and are referred to as "the team formerly known as the Bradford Bulls"?

In my opinion all that needs to be done at Odsal is a roof putting on the terraces and updating a few facilities. Forget the sports village, we all knew that it was never going to happen. Now that it looks to be dead in the water i hope the club sit down and draw up a plan and get it into action asap ready so it doesn't cost us our super league lisence.

I have to agree with you there, the OSV is dead in the water, and has been for a number of years. The club should start to "paper over the cracks" now, but not for the superleague licence, but for the benefit of the fans. Roof over the terraces is a minimum requirement for a modern day stadium.

That said the affect on your superleague application will be to take you from an A to a B grade (which you were last time around), which will ensure you are given a licence.

You'd hope there already is a plan in place

I mean, it can hardly have come as a surprise that the OSV isn't going happen.

Leeds Rhinos 'A'?

Does anyone know what the council have planned to improve access to fitness and improving health now they have pulled the funding for upgrading Richard Dunns?

You may skip joyfully through the £25 million park in the heart.

That'd be the park that NO ONE in the city wanted, right?

They'll just blame it all on the Government, while commissioning another multi-million pound feasibility study from their chums in the consulting firms and recruiting some more Hug-a-tree diversity equality fraternity liberty five-a-day co-ordinators for the Moldovan community.

"Park in the heart" = "no-one in their right mind wants to set up shop in the city "centre", so we'll make a park to cover up for the fact that its that or another hole."

That's the fella. All that money on artist's impressions and none of them had the wit to put in a half demolished police station that had to be kept open because the cells in the replacement don't come close to meeting health and safety regulations.

The Symbulls?

All we need is to get a Russian oligarch interested in rugby league and t'job's a good'un.

Bradford Council - what a bunch of complete and utter pr1*ks. You could give them a brewery and a bunch of p155 heads and they wouldn't know what to do with them.
Utter shambles.

And you can play at HQ!

Can any person with time and facilities research and put up here some pronouncements of Coun. Greenwood at the time the OSV plans were still in the mid-burner, if never the front one? Because I am certain that the Labour group supported the OSV and in those days (unlike now) seemed to well understand what it actually fookin was.
