Yes, the actual freehold covers both the stadium grounds and Dunns grounds as well

So new ground before Wakey then

that'll go down well.

This is what I got told a few weeks ago. The council are land rich but cash poor. They also recognise that sport underpins a lot of what they now have statutory responsibility for - public health, exercise. As long as they get a 21st century version of Dicky Dunnes and Bradford Bulls stays at Odsal, they will negotiate with all stakeholders.
The RFL are cash rich (Sport England funding for infrastructure/legacy), have a stake in Odsal (by luck or Machiavellian judgement??) and want offices, an RFL stadium and a tenant (Bulls).
Bulls just need a stadium.... and already have a chairman, chosen specifically by the RFL, who is trusted by the RFL.
I don't know where Nige fits in, but the plan seems to be coming together.
As has been said many times, it's all about the land development.

So none of this actually helps us in anyway does it? We are still relegated and looking less and less likely to have a sustainable team playing in our fancy new stadium in however many years time.

I suspect there was always a plan to keep the club going on life support. Whether ambitions go beyond that we'll have to wait and see - if there's anyone left that's bothered. I've already decided this season is over.

A new ground would be a massive step in the right direction though - thinking longer term.

In a nutshell this story - if true - means this season has been a total waste of time, and so will next season. Come back in 2019 for the start of the fightback...

Hmmm.... not sure how many of us will still be around by then?

There's not even an artist's impression yet. Don't they know how these things work?

I will have a guess that things are well on with drawings and details of what the RFL want. I will try see if I can find anything out with been in the construction industry.

How much!!!

Does he have his own kitchen fitting business?

Exactly, I've been in contact with the RFL this evening and offered Uncle Nige my consultancy services for a reasonable fee of £10m plus a pie;
Heres the final concept drawing;

I'll be sure to enter this in my excel speadsheet for my end of month taxes too....

Maybe the Leo Group didn't go anywhere after all

Is this what you have been talking about all along Frank?

Would have to be a pretty big, sturdy chair I imagine.

By the sound of the story the Bulls are been used for Odsal by the RFL, BMDC and A.N other (Leo Group?)
Someone said that the Club would be used as a means to fulfil the requirement of RL needing to be played at Odsal with no real investment in it, looks like that is what's happening.

We can have a nice new stadium on the Dunnies site, another 6 months of performances / lack of communication there will be nobody to sit and watch the Bulls in it,

What I was hoping for when the Phoenix club started was a knight in shining armour new owner to take us back up to SL,
Looks like we have a mystery man Scooby Doo villain that is pulling our strings until they can start filling Odsal in.

The new ground will see a super league team playing their.

How do you know this Red?

We either get there by ourselves, or we get invited in with franchising after the next sky deal are the 2 options I can see

Super league in 2 to 3 years

yeah Wakefield need a new ground, maybe they will be the new tennants
looking at the performance this year we would struggle with mid table championship.

That's it then. Job topped out and fully completed, sign it off.

An artist's impression is usually the last step in all Odsal revamps, so...what's next on the agenda then?

I refuse to get my hopes up - they've been dashed too many times over the past 5-6 years. As has been said it doesn't really matter if we get a super new ground if everyone's lost interest by then.

Hopefully once a deal is signed a bit more info will be forthcoming. I really hope we hear more after the end of this non season. Otherwise I doubt I'll be there next year.

Even if it all falls through a bit of straight talking from our owners would be welcome.

IF this is true, and everything that has happened has been part of a 'master plan' someone may be in big trouble for deliberately preventing the Administrator carrying out his duty, especially if it is to their (financial) advantage....

Love it

Unfortunately, because I had my Bulls shirt on at the meeting, my £10m fee was held back and distributed to all the other stadium consultants, I only got the pie, which had a direct effect on the quality of the product I produced. It's ok though, I'm reliability informed I can work on the proper finished version in 2 to 3 years time with full funding.

Next on the agenda? Well, I've been told there is a really good former rl half back playing ru in Wales, there's some issue over a contract clause or something, but I'm sure that's insignificant, so I reckon we should sign him as our next order of business, that'll get the fans flocking back to the Super odsal dome!....
