You could if you owned a 200 year leasehold to sell. It’s something the rfl do do as with Rochdales ground, Keighleys and others so it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

It’s not a peppercorn rent in Bradford’s case and they’ll have earned a decent profit on it by now.

On the equal treatment front I remember Batley and Featherstone not being admitted into superleague because their ground didn’t meet the criteria.

Maybe they should have just said they’re going to do it and then not actually do it. That seems to work.

What do you think old boy?

Yes it is actually.

Box is building one for cas but has done everything to stop trin getting one.

It wouldn’t surprise me if rfl are involved.

It’s a disgrace

You really are an ignorant fool.

Nobody ever asked the council to build us a stadium you absolute cretin. The developer known as Yorkcourt is supposed to build a community stadium for Wakefield in return for gaining planning permission at Newmarket as promised to the department of the environment no less.

They are currently in breach of this and acting illegally which is why Wakefield Trinity stopped them in there tracks by threatening legal action - something the Council should have done but inexplicably failed to do.

The site is worth a fortune and the corruption surrounding it is rife. You will only find one quisling in Wakefield who’d disagree with what I’ve just posted.

You’d know all this if you weren’t so monumentally stupid.

Rochdales ground is owned by the football club as for the others it’s news to me.

You're wasting your time Vastman. As the saying goes: "You can't educate pork"

have Batley or Featherstone ever been in a position where they were eligible to come into super league. not sure they have. neither have won a potential promotion spot. Dewsbury did around 20 years ago and yes they were denied a place.

Showing your ignorance again.

It was mentioned by RFL in the press release when they bought the leasehold at odsal.

You’ll have missed it though because you were busy spitting your dummy out and writing letters to league express.

How old are you exactly?

The RFL’s property portfolio comprises grounds and stadia used by both professional and community clubs. These include Cougar Park, Keighley; Spotland Stadium, Rochdale; Normanton, Underbank; Hensingham; Maryport and Buslingthorpe Vale in Leeds.

Is that really best you can come up with?

You’ve been shown to know nothing of what you speak and that’s what you resort to?

Btw that’s what everyone thought when outraged of sandal penned that pathetic open letter.

You are blaming the council then!

That’s this “plan” anyway. Who was at fault for all the other ones falling through?

I seem to recall it was you who brought Bradford into it by incorrectly stating there were less at the Wakey game then at Bradford on Sunday

That’s true there were a whole 400 more at the superleague encounter.

Yes it is I just can’t think of any other reason to explain your stupidity. Twenty years on this forum and your the dumbest creature I’ve come across so far - you must be proud.

Obviously! What part of the story don’t you get - of course it’s the councils fault they have pretty much admitted that.

As for previous attempt how many time was Odsal going to be developed on the ‘Wembley’ of the north? People in glass houses!

You make it too easy.

Not really odsal - whilst a dump - does and always has met the minimum superleague criteria. Belle Vue doesn’t and never has.

All our problems have been down to people running the club. Hopefully the current custodian has a better idea.

No one else to blame we are where we are.

Facts are annoying aren’t they. Anyway please go on call me dumb or whatever. You can have the last word as it’s so important to you...

Can't believe a match thread about a game where nowt really happened other than one team spanking another, has turned into a 10 pager thanks to a sour, no mark Bradford fan.

All as bad as each other. Remember them standing in our ground?

Then playing the race card because they can’t take some chanting.

Scum bags

So what. You sold discounted tickets at 10 quid a go and got a decent gate good for Bradford. I said before I don’t care how many other folk are there watching as long as I am watching my team compete in the top league and being run properly off the field

That game in 2015 was the worst atmosphere I have had at an RL ground.

I was at that game and didn't hear any of those chants but it is absolutely not on to do that. Carter and fans on various forums have made it clear that it is not welcome at Belle Vue.

Also Wexford does not speak for Wakefield fans. Don't let him wind you up.

Well, this has been an interesting read! Wakey spank Widnes, basically secure their top 8 place, and 10 pages of rubbish follow. Figure that one out?! So, reading between the lines, we have Bradford fans trying to say Wakefield are an embarrassment due to an attendance figure etc.. From a neutrals point of view heres my very brief summary/view; Michael Carter runs a tight ship financially and keeps a club in the black in a stadium that is not ideal, on reduced SKY funds due to the stadium, returns a small profit and has a team worth watching on the field (yes, I like watching how Wakey play). Bradford had all the assistance they could get, help from the RFL, scrounged money from fans/ex players, had a big supporter base etc.. and still managed to stuff things up. Yet, we have Bradford fans on here saying Wakefield are an embarrassment? Comedy gold this thread!

I think that seems like a good place to lock this thread. Well put caslad75.
