Difference is they all moved to new grounds. This looks like a thinly veiled method of getting us down to VP. We've been there before and it was massively unpopular. IF it was a case of moving directly a new stadium then, whilst people wouldnt like it, I'd say it could be pulled off. Its the 5/6 years at VP before any new stadium was built (if it ever was) thats the potential deal killer imo.

I don't see anywhere where playing at VP was the caveat.
I don't see anywhere that outlines it will 5/6 years at any venue
I don't see anywhere that suggests it is a deal breaker.

Really?
Quote Gurus_Beard=" from YEP"In the short term, they would both play at one stadium as that would be the most economically viable option. Then, in five or six years’ time when the economy has fully recovered, we would be looking to move Bradford Sporting Club into one purpose-built stadium in the city.'"
looks like a pretty simple to understand statement that both clubs would be sharing one of current stadiums for 5/6 years. dont see how you can misunderstand that.
Given that odsal would need major upgrades to allow city to play their and its considerable cheaper to get out of the odsal lease compared to the city lease then its not much of an assumption to say the current stadium used would be VP.

Is the right answer. Especially given relative commercial land values of each facility and noises emanating from VP.
If we were to play there, the problem is....?
Or shall we continue playing at a money juicing hole and little hope for progression with the current structure?
Coin flip

| A "Bradford Sporting Club" is an absolutely terrible idea. A single organisation owning and controlling the local RL club and the football club didn't work for Huddersfield and I've no doubt it won't in Bradford.
In fact the ill feeling and bitterness this would cause would only serve to drive a wedge further between the two sports clubs when really they should be working together (as two seperate entities).

I once had a bad restaurant meal. On that premise I will never eat out again. The past doesn't indicate the future.

Ill feeling perpetuated by s with little positivism in their lives.. Let it ride.
Your last 7 words are the most salient.

Bit different really as they went to brand new stadiums, whereas we're moving to a different stadium. It's not really the stadium thats the problem, its the area. Its digusting and vile. Not easiest place to get to, limited parking. Car Radio's at a premium!!

"Speaking from his office at Odsal stadium" oh well that makes it all the more poignant then.
Parkin has clearly elicited a response. Job done. He may well have spoken to Caisley or other shareholders who haven't told Hood. Who knows.
Nothing in his response of value other than an expected knee-jerk rebuttal.
As for the 21st century stadium. Ok.

Really, quite an extremist repsonse. It's easier to get to for those not wedded to their car or object to walking more than 100m. There are one or two decent pubs around & a host of curry houses. The ground itself is very good if lacking in character (see Wire, Hudds etc).

| Although it would pain me to see us move away from odsal for a while, i have to agree with Tigertot, the ground isnt all that bad and has the facilities the club need to keep a license,
I live 5 mins away from odsal and love the fact at how close it is - BUT i have no issue with following my team wherever thay may go .......................
ASSUMING being the key word it was to ever happen !!!
