Would need some investment - but the first time I went to Odsal was to see the speedway so there could be enough interest to make it worthwhile paying for the changes. Mind you the bikes were steam powered back then

If they did go ahead with speedway the coral stand would have to be removed .As for safety there would have to be changes to comply with the requirements for safety of the speedway riders.At Owlerton in Sheffield they use the stadium for dogs, speedway and car racing.All these have different requirements,the track is changed between events,steel posts and cables for car racing ,which is removed for speedway and dog racing.

Thatcher shut 'em all down the feckin bitch.

The Coral stand is curved round the old track line and the new air fences as seen on Sky speedway will protect the riders from the posts. The main issue with the track is drainage but any new promoter would have to deal with that. My main problem with stock cars is the bits that fall off and bury themselves into the pitch.

Clearly totally untrue

Do you honestly think they would even, for a second, countenance the removal of the only part of the entire stadium that has the capacity to make money?

And the only bit we own!

How does this fit with our rental agreement? I meant to ask when the gigs were being advertised. Can we put on non-rugby events and benefit from any profit?

Would have though they would have to be put on the rental agreement if they want to schedule weekly races thier so the bulls may be able to pay less.

Would depend upon how plans mole get on with regard to the ground share, but if mole wants to use the concessions ok would make some profit from.that would have thought.

Did they get paid?

I think the RFL have to approve it (as our landlord, rather than as the Governing Body) but that from what I've read we have approval pretty much rubber stamped for anything we want to do.

I only say that because I remember reading at the time of the concerts and when it came out about the Speedway, that the RFL had approved both without much fuss.

I could be wrong though. If people know better feel free to correct me.

may sound stupid but the club ought to see if they could encourage its Bradford public and open the stadium up to Kabaddi competition, to you and me a form of British bull dog

Googled that snowie and this was the first video

Main player is wearing a Bulls top, may be a market for that sport. You never know.

Just a quick question regarding the much talked about sky money for next year; if the condition still stands, could any team who isn't in agreement theoretically give us back their slice of £46k*?

*(just roughly assuming it's £600k/13)

I'm not entirely sure if such gestures are allowed between businesses y'see.

no reason why they couldnt, although they may have to pay tax on it. so effectively becomes 46k -20%. cant see any clubs actually doing it though, not evens likes of leeds who voted against the shareout.

Whitehead on twitter taking the pi$$ suggesting players not been paid again. Really starting to dislike the lad.

Whitened is doing my head in but he's wright some paid some not. They should sit everybody down and say if payment dates have changed.

He obviously has an axe to grind, he must be thicker than I realised if he thinks he is fooling anyone with the 'I just care about my mates still working there' line.

It was none of his business last time and its not his place to be spreading gossip again this time.

I'm starting to wonder if his beef is with more than just FC.

Some told me Bullbuilder meeting with the Board got pulled at the last minute with no excuse. That was 3rd hand info. Hope all is ok.

Whitehead's every action makes me glad we got shut.

Sorry statement re Bullbuilder is incorrect.

Sam, the meeting was cancelled, with apologies, due to an oversight. Not good, but nothing sinister.

Ok glad to hear it!

Clear to see when you put a few tweets together that the players haven't been paid again.

As far as Whitehead goes, although it's good that him not being with the club any more means that the truth can come out through him, it's the delight he seems to take in it that makes him come across a spiteful little sh*t.

I'm confused. Whitehead's tweet was on Wednesday 29 August. Are the players supposed to be paid on Wednesday now?

He tried to be the big I'am with OK. OK said don't think so and that meant what happened, happened.
