Before anyone starts climbing onto any moral high ground, just remember that the RFL also invested in our club at a time that we needed it.

What utter bullshine, the RFL shouldn't be buying any clubs ground, also ineterested to know how this will work if Bradford were to fail in a franchise bid.
total RFL farce, if I were a Bulls fan I would be embarassed, worse than Wakey and Cas for not keeping promises to develop. |

If you read the report, as I did, then it doesn't appear that this is any long-term investment, more a case of keeping vulture developers away. As I said before, we're the last that should be dictating what the RFL can and cannot invest THEIR money in. |

That would have been good for the game.

| Not sure what all the fuss is tbh. The RFL stepped in to help us, because we are a big club with a large fanbase. The RFL have stepped in to help Bradford because they are a big club with a large fanbase. The RFL haven't stepped in to help Wakefield, Cas or Rovers, because they are not big clubs and don't have a large fanbase - the competition is no better or worse for their inclusion. Simple, really.  |

You're off topic, love. We're talking about [ubig[/u clubs and the fully understandable stance of the RFL to support them because of their size and what they bring to the competition. Harsh for those with limited fanbases and balance sheets with large negative liabilities, perhaps, but the RFL has to prioritise and IMO have done so correctly. In 2003 they averaged 15k attendance and already have the ground to house a lot more. Well done to all concerned, a competitive Bradford brings a lot to the competition. |

Thats funny, thought Hull FC were a big club, well they usually are my 2nd/3rd team in Super League. But Mrs B has it a competitive Bradford brings a lot. Nearly 20k at home for the derby last season. Average over 14k through the season. Not bad for a club outside the play-offs. Speaking of play-offs I'm sure we have a record of biggest win is it? Refresh my memory.

It was going well, but we're sooo over. 
Blacklock v Vainikolo - that was never going to go well, was it? Odsal has a nice range of food, a cheap car park opposite the ground and is 3 miles from my house. What's not to love? Oh yes, your pre match entertainment. If the RFL place some controls over that, you're back in business. |

Track, yes. Don't mind the corners tbh. Compared to the go-karts and player theme tunes, they're quite innocuous. |

It would just be nice to see a pitch that was longer than it is wide |

You're correct, we wouldn't have had over 10,000 people in the ground if over 10,000 people hadn't committed themselves to leave their houses and go to games.

They are the sort of injuries that you have no control over. If for instance it was muscles pulls or tears you can think it is due to poor preparation. Collision injuries are going to happen in this sport and we have been unlucky so far.
Maybe Bradford did need the money but what are the rfl getting out of having the leasehold? Fair enough of they bought the freehold as well but it doesn't appear they have. |
