I really don't want to go back to VP. I don't mind sharing with City, but I just hate VP, and it's location.

If OSV falls through and we want to watch RL in Bradford VP may be our only option.

Given the choice between the Bulls at VP and no Bulls at all it's an easy choice.

However let's not be premature, the OSV is still firmly on the agenda.

I was going to say "between a rock and a hard place", but the other version is way classier!

For the avoidance of doubt, IMO:

1. If we have to remain at Odsal, as is, with no OSV, we won't survive. As MDF says. My comment "...at least at SL level" was speculating that a new phoenix club would arise at a lower level like Oldham, or Gateshead and playing somewhere else. Sorry should have made this clear.

2. If the OSV does not go ahead, then I would indeed expect the Council to agree to waive the exit penalty provided we moved to VP. That way, they get the site back and can redevelop the freehold, and City are effectively bailed out through a new income stream. Everyone wins, except the Bulls who would at least get to survive.

Bit of Greek mythology creeping in there! Pair of sea monsters living either side of a narrow strait, so you could not avoid one without getting caught by the other, IIRC? I don't know enough to be able to say whether some ancient hero found a solution to this ancient rock-and-hard-place dilemma - anyone know - and any lessons for us now? Hell, we need all the help we can get!

It was Jason.

We need Mr. Crookes back as quickly as possible.

O/T a bit, but a real compare and contrast article here. The fact that (most of) the others invest into general public facilities whereas Bradford Council gives £33k to each council ward really does typify everything that is wrong with the institution and its inability to coordinate anything centrally with a view to the future.

Why didn't they just go the whole hog and send every individual in the Bradford Met a £30 cheque and absolutely ensure beyond doubt that nothing significant comes of it? The fear of being criticised, offending people or just not being seen to do something that is unarguably 'fair' cripples this city so we always end up catering to the lowest common denominator.

(to any Cougars/City fans, not saying that it sould be OSV, just something, anything, that is a little bigger or else to be proud of.)

Methinks you kinda got it one there buddy.

From todays League Express

Bradford Council Leaders will be asked at their mrring in June to Make a decision on which Version of the new Bradford Sports Village scheme they are going to give their backing to.

Hood says "The feasibiltiy study has been compleated , and it will be delivered imminently to the council, I havent seent he complete document, but there is no reason to suppose it isnt entirely positive. There will be a meeting of the BCEC in June to decide which version of the scheme they would want to adopt. we had slipped a few weeks, but we are now back on track."

That makes my blood boil. How much use am I going to get out of that?

You mean MY council tax is paying for the unhealthy of Keighley?

Yeah,but think of the trickle down benefits for the whole district...blah do blah, etc and so on.....

Typical!! Trying to justify the unjustifiable...............

That's certainly a worry - just what precisely IS going to "trickle down" out of that health centre into the whole district? Will the river Aire be a no-go area now? The public needs to be told...

What do mean now? Would you paddle in it?

I learnt it from you lot.

You're the masters

This true or b.ll.cks?
