I'd be interested to know how the cost of maintaining Odsal now compares with the rental costs that will be associated with the new stadium, though that is on the presumption that BMDC are competent enough not to spend millions of pounds renovating and rebuilding a stadium and not charge a decent rate for its use.

I know Huddersfield Town had to pay out approx £650k for renting the Galpharm a couple of seasons back, City's base rent at VP is £300k plus. If on pitch displays continue to deteriorate there won't be enough income generated to make a new stadium viable, nevermind the current situation.

I was thinking much the same thing.

When the OSV gets built there will still be some hefty rent surely?

Or are the current running costs of Odsal THAT prohibitive?

Also, what happens during the build time? Where will they go? VP surely? So more hefty rent.

And there's no way it will be completed in time.
