It has a stand that runs the length of it. The only thing in its favour. It'll hold at least three, maybe four thousand. Nowhere for any of those people to park, no prospect of facilities. That club house literally is a park equipment store round the back. From the stadium side it is two stories. It drops into the park on the other side and is four or five from that side. It's all park back there and there is very little chance of it being used for development on that side at any time without enormous local objections.

I thought it had signed for Huddersfield.

Rumour has it Huddersfield want to take the Bulls crowd on Season long loan as well......

How is it possible to remain positive when we can't play at Odsal and we can't play anywhere else either?! What a bloody mess.

Odsal could be used just forget about all other parts of the ground other than the main stand.

What I don't understand is if Horsefall is so bad and little room for improvement and they have recently being purchased by a Billionaire why doesn't he see the coming together of Bulls and PA in a shared facility as a goer?
Did he buy PA just to put peanuts into it to make him feel good about himself.
everyone I speak to sees the massive advantages of sharing a modern ground. It seems like a third of SL clubs now do it. Most money men will tell you that the ground must be open and earning seven days a week.
People with no experience of business can see this.
Why on earth do we have two struggling clubs running their own miserable and dilapidated ground within a few miles of each other?Some people need to be brought together and have their heads banged together to knock some sense into them.
The problem is one of the grounds is held by the RFL who probably won't budge.

Maybe Mr Moneybags isn't as rich as all that or maybe he's just not keen on blowing a load of it on sports facilities.

Anyway. Looks like no announcement today. What a surprise.

Well when Gleds tweeting about Old School anthems I think we can take it you're right, an announcement today is about at likely as Pet-tit going hungry in the next couple of months

I wouldn't take what he's tweeting about as any sign. He's about as clued up on the situation as Joey Essex.

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:43 pm  

maybe 5 o clock?

it wouldn't be so bad if the RFL actually said it wouldn't be today instead of it just coming and going...
The way the situation from start to finish has been handled is pretty disgusting to be honest.
