Sam, don't suppose we could class this as criticism of the moderating process? Can we? Please? :wink:

OK here goes ......

Alternatives to be considered if funding from other partners and a developer led scheme cannot be achieved :

____________
Option A

Increase the covered, seated capacity of the stadium to 10,000
including new conferencing and hospitality spaces (leaving
10,000 uncovered standing capacity), add new community
sports facilities within the existing stadium site and leave some
space for operator funded hotel or sports retail development

Cost £35.1m
_____________
Option D

Add new stadium roofs to make all existing standing spectator
positions undercover (with installation of seating at a later date),
provide new community sports facilities within the former
Northern View Hospital site and preserve the option for both
operator funded hotel and sports retail development

Cost£39.6m
_______________
Option E

Add new stadium roofs to make all existing standing spectator
positions undercover (with installation of seating at a later date),
provide new community sports facilities within the existing
stadium site and leave space for some operator funded sports
retail development

Cost £33.8m
_______________


The problem with these plans (in addition to the projected £12-14m still to be found for any of them) is that I don't see how the current big problem (ie the prohibitive maintenance costs of the stadium site) would be reduced if a lot of the site stays how it is.

Re: Odsal Sporting Village : Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:16 am  
A ground share somewhere in the Aire valley would be a good idea.

Our new chairman has big plans for Cougar Park. I personally cannot see it happening. So it may be the way forward.

I must say the best thing the Bulls can do is to use VP.
If it was that bad a area and the parking was so bad, how come Bradford City fans dont seem to have a problem.

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

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.

I think if you could recoup the costs from

a) Odsal feasability studies

and

b) the city of culture bid

and

c) westgate

You could have built Bulls a 25,000 seater stadium and the Cougars a 10,000 seater.

How much money have they peed away?
