Agree about Odsal. We may move at some time, like if div 2 starts to seem a bit permanent but I can't see it being top the agenda any time soon.

What you got against our friends from Keighley, Bullseye? Fair enough, a few get a bit chippy on the boards from time to time, [as do some Bulls'fans...]but when you talk to them they're generally a fine bunch. I had to write that, btw, I know a few Cougars that I refer to as mates and I'd be deader than our chances of staying up if I didn't... :lol:

I understand that we will play from Cougar Park next year, as they offered to let us use the ground rent-free so all their fans can come every week and laugh at us.

On the subject of alternative grounds...

Horsfall has a current capacity of 3500 with 1800 seats http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsfall_Stadium

Wagon Lane apparently has a capacity of 4000, albeit with only 250 seats. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/bradforda ... -6613.html

Both would need some work, but could they be potential short-term options for the Championship?

So, we move to Wagon lane, by some miracle get promotion, and ... then what?

If we are not doomed, then the thing is, it's all only a few months away yet nothing whatsoever seems to be happening. It empties me with confidence.

Embrace it FA. Don’t fight it. I’m just wondering what could possibly happen next. It’s like one of those films that you watch where the plot starts off plausibly enough then goes totally OTT.

Like Dusk til Dawn.

I fully expect Odsal to be full of blood sucking vampires at any moment (though that might have been when Huddersfield were last here).

All the other clubs outside Super League survive. The Bulls are a big club and should be able to attract a greater level of support than any other club outside Super League.

They should have a bigger budget, especially with the parachute payment, and therefore attract the best players.

Not being top dogs is nothing to be scared of. Look at it as a test of character. When the going gets tough.....
