Was the potential league re-structure touched on at all?
Where is this new stadium proposed to be built? On the Odsal site?

Not far off to be honest!!
Stadium news was a the main take away. Plans have been drawn up for a new stadium in partnership with RFL and local council to create an RFL head quaters/village. From the sole image that was shared it looked a stadium fit to host international games and semi finals. Possibly finals but unsure of the exact size from the picture.

All dependant on levelling up govt. funding, city of culture funding along with investment from RFL. But plans are being discussed and the apllication for funding will begin.

To be fair, I remember Niggle talking about this in the T&A about 4 years ago, I think if you search it it's still there, but then they talked about moving the RFL HQ to City of Manchester Stadium so I assumed the plan was dead.

Hirst seems like a decent bloke, but having to rely on a volunteer as CEO sums up where the club is.

I think offering to speak 121 with fans is probably well intentioned, but most are past the point of going to that effort.

It’s very clear that the fans and Wood will never see eye to eye - he’s not going to open up about past failings and he doesn’t have the vision, resources or nous to drive the club forward.

Volunteer or not, he really ought to be able to read the room and understand supporters frustrations. I understand questions from the floor was promised when commencing the evening (to keep folk quiet) and then low and behold.. they ran out of time.. shocker. Very poor form, but unfortunately typical of the club nowadays.

It's like you could have scripted it. Even the most optimistic of fans must realise now that if you can predict it's going to happen, and it does, it's because they're running a s*** show.

Very disappointing - heart breaking in fact.

Good set of questions just brushed aside as none of your business. Maybe when he's trying to sell season tickets people might respond in kind.
The loan, the lease, the 500k, the choice of owners plus the admin and liquidation is the greatest scandal in British RL history. Only one man knows the whole story and he isn't telling.

I thought the tone of the responses was remarkable. And it was also interesting that despite there being a widespread belief that our players are unfit, Nobby wondered off muttering "ridiculous" at the suggestion. I feel for the CEO, he's doing it because he loves the club and an event like that won't be pleasant.

Noble's response to the fitness question was disappointing. Would expect much better from him. Another yes man?

Re: Fans Forum : Tue Jul 19, 2022 10:25 pm  

Has anybody had sight of (or found online) the document which was shared at the fans forum?

It looks to be endorsed or produced by Bradford Council and is titled “preliminary study” from June 2022.

There is a wider plan that Wood refers to for the surrounding area (Bradford Bulls are listed as a stakeholder and asked a number of questions about park & ride / stadium access).

I can’t find the preliminary study which the club shared but I’m sure it will be an interesting read.

How many pages did the OSV thread get to? With the declining level of interest I don’t think we’ll reach 10% of that one!
