| how can we move away from odsal, dont there need to be conditions in the offer saying we will go to VP. Also to look on the positive side of us not leaving odsal - the rfl would not want a ground with no team in it, i know the initial reaction about bradford city is moving to valley parade but wont move us. I dont think the rfl would let it happen they have already said that VP is not a rugby stadium and is not suitable for rugby, if we did have to move then they would have to mkae the pitch at VP bigger.
We have got to get down in numbers on friday to cheer the bulls into the play offs and prove to people that odsal is a great stadium with great atmosphere when full. COYB!

| also, because the location of odsal is better, why cant we rip the seats out of VP and put it in odsal. sounds crazy but VP is not in a great area and imo is an ugly stadium, odsal has got atmosphere, now lets face it - VP is not a stadium of the john smith stadiums standards.

| we could make odsal into a a more modern stadium but with the same old classy atmosphere, now that would be unique instead of building a new langtree park etc. If we had new owners then surely this could be thought about, especially if it was Bradford city.

| VP is miles from the motorway, the toilets are rubbish, the pitch isn't big enough and the area is not too clever. I don't fancy parking in the streets around there. It just would not work for us. The club would die at VP.

Where would the money come from?
To develope Odsal properly you would need tens of millions.
Not keen on VP myself but it is very much the lesser of the evils we face at present. Who knows if you have - and I know this takes a leap of imagination - two well run successful teams then maybe you could think about a new stadium?

| Lets see our club fold instead then.
If valley parade is an ugly stadium then what is odsal ?
Odsal has atmosphere, yes when its full, when not you can hear players sneeze, valley parade rocks when its full.
Vp is not in a nice area, i assume you mean manningham and all it entails. Been a city and bulls season ticket
holder 20 years, i've had more problems at odsal with parking tickets and vandalism. The ethnic population of that particular part of manningham arent all jihad supporting bomb experts.
you mention toilets, at vp you wouldnt have to go up 200 steps just to have a pee.
The corporate facilities are far better, imagine what increased sponsorship this could bring.
I understand peoples feelings , i support both teams and have done twenty years and i have ties with odsal but its a no brainer at the moment if it makes more sense to move on. We currently get use out of odsal as little as 13 weeks a year yet pay for 52, would you do that a home? Times change im afraid and unfortunaltey it could be time to move on

If we end up in the Championship Horsfall Stadium could easily be brought up to standard. I'd rather be in the Championship than go to VP and i'm sure i'm not on my own. SL is not the be all and end all of everything.

Horsfall stadium has a capacity of 3500 so without significant development you'd never qualify for SL criteria. If you're hoping to hold on to a large fan base you're also restricting that. VP might not be your ideal solution but there are significant downsides to what you're suggesting as well.

| I do think people ought to get real.
Personally I support the Bulls. Given a choice, that choice would be to stay at Odsal and play in SL. Given no choice I vote to follow the club to wherever destiny leads and if that is VP for home games and away games at Batley and Fev, then so be it.
Maybe we should hold our horses and wait until we know what is going to happen before moaning about it? After all it might not happen, any of it: change of grounds, the takeover, new club, professional rugby league in Bradford.......
