New superstadium in Shelf, halfway line on the municipal boundary.

Club still confident so plan B is likely to be plan A 2.0.

Has anyone seen the video of the stadium on Look North/Calendar?

Retractable roof, two giant screens, it looks like a smaller version of Suncorp

Well, going by the club's press release (very good swipe at the reports that said the £15m was going direct to the Bulls, btw) as well as what was put forward at the fans forum, it does seem the club were expecting this outcome. Hopefully, the club are going to continue their pro-active stance and are able to deliver us a new stadium

A new stadium with Park Avenue is the only way I feel to make it viable with it then having all year use.

Myabe both clubs could sell a joint Bulls/Park Ave season ticket?

Oh well, hopefully by the time I've retired we should have something built.

Plan B is to continue dreaming about plan A. A scheme that was never going to happen in a million years. The reality must be we have no plan B therefore like most things in this city, nothing will happen.

Peter Hood:-
"Contrary to some media reports, it was never the case that this £15m was going directly to Bradford Bulls to develop a stadium. The money was destined for a trust company being set up by the Council through which it, not the Bulls, would run the health, leisure and sports facilities for the benefit of people across the district. Bradford Bulls' contribution to the project was to be the land that we currently hold under a very long lease and leasing back the stadium."

The truth, as opposed to the version attributed to Greenwood:-
“My view has always been the vast majority of the money should be private sector money into a private sports company – it’s a private business at the end of the day.”

Well that's great. So Mr Greenwood doesn't know where council money actually going? On that basis he's clearly a member of Bradford Council.
