If the rumours are true and the Bulls made a permanent move to Valley Parade, what does this mean for Odsal? Personally, I think it's a great old stadium and would be sad if it were sold on for development.
6 months ago... “This arrangement is absolutely the right thing to do because it safeguards the future of one of the sport’s most famous stadia. Odsal is famous throughout the world and it would be a tragedy were the venue to be lost to the sport in the way that other evocative rugby league venues have already been lost."
Does this mean, hypothetically, that Internationals, CC semis, Champ & Champ 1 GF's, NRC finals, 9's finals, amateur/community game finals etc may be staged at Odsal from now on? The upkeep would have to be paid for somehow.
Would you fans (of all clubs) be happy having Odsal as our 'Wembley'?
Take the sentiment out of the situation and use whichever ground offers the best facilities.
Of course neither set of fans would ideally like to move but, if playing at VP means that RL survives, its a no brainer.
Surely there are substantial savings to be had in sharing a ground, so just get on with it.
(it seems to work ok for Wigan and Hull !
