Possibly one of the new aliases that has popped up in the last couple of days

I still don't understand why Odsal isn't viable?


As I said originally , in theory , with secondary earnings of food and drink Odsal should be a money maker ( again only providing you get the numbers ) but the sheer size of the place and it's very nature , ie ( old ) means the costs must be spiralling upwards , as has been pointed out by others more clued up than me

I just don't see how anybody can feasibly intend to purchase the Bulls and continue to play there

Well whatever the running costs, if we'd kept the ground at a peppercorn rent, then it's pretty obvious to me that has got to be do-able, hasn't it?

70k rent doesn't on the face of it sound like a lot. It's only £1 per person per match.

I get that Odsal is old but how much does it deteriorate each year that means we have to psy out an excess amount of money on maintenance? Does anyone have any examples of such outlays that we've had to make?

Genuine questions. I'm not here for a windup. My opionion is that long term we need a new stadium.

Agree with you, a modern stand and the corporate stand can't cost that much to maintain, the rest of it is concrete

Clare definitely gone, Welham definitely gone and others on the way. Even if the team survive they will be missing players who contributed over a 3rd of their total tries from last season. Let's hope Rohan has worked on the defence because it's not looking like they will score as many points themselves.

Gutted we're losing both but totally understandble. We are quite well equipped in the backs. Ethan Ryan is class and with Welham gone i suppose it gives an opportunity for Ross Oakes.

I'd be more gutted if we lose some of our academy players.

Anyway at the moment i'm still praying we've got a club this time. tomorrow. The worry of the quality of players left over can wait.

Yep, I'm not losing any sleep on player departures right now. We need a club first and foremost. We have some decent young lads that could cover departures in the short term if required.
