As a cougar fan I can see how a ground share would answer some of our immediate problems but would eventually see the cougars fade into oblivion - so, not for me thanks.
I used to visit Odsal to watch stockcars long before I watched rugby league. I think it’s a unique place and if I were a Bradford fan would be fighting tooth and nail to develop the site but keep its originality. It’s the one thing that would separate it from the other soul less “Ikea” stadiums.
I can’t see what you have against VP. I can assure you that to an outsider one part of Bradford is very much like the rest.
Tongue in cheek mode - I don’t think your plans were adventurous enough for Bradford council’s egos why not try this:
Build huge dams across Canal Road and Thornton road then flood the city centre to create a huge deepwater lake (the council seem fond of water). Anchor a huge raft in the middle and in the midst of a transparent geodesic dome build your Wembley of the north. You could even call it something catchy like the Bull bubble. Offer to put the councillor’s names in neon lights around the dome and give them free “waterfront” properties. I’m sure they would go for that.
End of tongue in cheek mode.
