Both options look on paper to provide the club with what they require. Obviously the 75m scheme would allow many more options for use of the stadium away from RL. But if the cheaper option means we can get work under way quickly and is more realistic then I would be equally as happy to see that one.

It depends on if the funds come through, but I don't like sitting

.

There still looks to be a significant funding gap even on the cheaper scheme. There seems to be a lot hinging on successful grant applications for ERDF and other funding streams.

I hope whoever's bidding has got a good track record on applying for money as there have been a few c0ck ups in this area in the past.

Me neither, I'd prefer the scheme to have at least some standing. However the all seater option is probably more future proof and would allow us to hold other sporting events and maximise our grounds use. If by some minor miracle this stadium ever gets built, then having to sit is a compromise I would be willing to accept!

Damn, not the news we need right now. We need a successful OSV.

We always knew that funding would need to be applied for to make this stadium happen.

The cheaper scheme looks more likely, the councils track record of building completely new things is poor, if we went for the expensive scheme they'd use all the money demolishing Odsal and the have none left to build the new stadium.

18,000 all seater stadium? It wasn't too long back there were 6,000 more than that in Odsal for a league match, what a great show of ambition, then again the way things are going that might be way too big.

With a minimum funding gap of £37m I won't be holding my breath.

Thank fsck it's not the Council we're placing our hopes on. Those useless twa#s can't even afford to build a shop where the city centre used to be.

Apart from the fact that we are placing our hopes in the Council and numerous other funding agencies some of whom are yet to commit, meaning we have a massive short fall for either option at present.

The chances of it happening are slim, but we can remain hopeful. More likely I would have thought that with declining attendances and the financial millstone that Odsal represents, we'll be forced in to a ground share at VP, which is obviously where the T&A sees things heading.

I'd rather drive to Salford with a massive crash on the M62 that leaves you stuck there for 3 weeks, give up the ghost, walk the rest of the way, lose by 300 points, walk home, get run over on the hard shoulder, die, get home at 5am and have to got to work at 5.15....every week - than share with City.

Can they not re-develop Birch Lane?

Sadly it`s been built on. As is the Greenfield Stadium before you ask................

Would you prefer the Bulls at VP or no Bulls at all? It may yet come to that.

It may



Seeing the figures quoted, and the funding gap remaining, I was horrified. I sincerely hope we get minds put somewhat at rest at the fans' forum (if not before), cos looking at those numbers - in this decaying and dying city - in this dire economic situation - and with everything being dominated by the "Leeds City" part of the disgraceful "Leeds City Region" that some unelected w@nkers no doubt with their own agendas have dumped us in with - I'm struggling to feel hopeful.

I'll go further. I can't see the more expensive option being remotely viable - maybe its just there to provide a comparison. Maybe there would be a chance if City moved in too. Indeed, that may be the only way we'll ever see a stadium development. And what chance of that?

Just hope I am being unduly pessimistic here.

why?

Incidentally i'd rather both teams had seperate grounds, but why So against the idea?

How can you die, yet still get home and go to work?

Develop the project further? What is that supposed to mean. Surely we are at a point where we chose one and get cracking?

This is the council we're talking about here. "Get cracking" isn't a concept often seen in practice.

Indeed.
It just seems to be project group after project group with scheme refinment after scheme refinment.

It makes you want to jump in a JCB

Bugger the JCB. I'd be able to make a LOT more things happen VERY quickly.

Just need to borrow a tank.

I get the impression that option 2 is exactly what that is for.
A stadium used by two professional clubs all year round for two different sports is more likely to get the money.

I don't want an all seater stadium but I'd rather have that than no new stadium at all. This is our only chance IMO and we have to support it.

Too bloody right. Suggest writing to your councillors saying what a good idea this all is and that you'd vote for them if they supported it.

done all that ages ago. they only seem interested when there's a local election looming. When is the next one?

Typical politicians!

Dunno when the next local elections are but wouldn't be surprised if there were some next May.
