Yes it’s fair to say the last VC wasn’t up to the task. But things have improved markedly over the last 4 to 5 years to a point where they are in a pretty decent place. A link up would be beneficial for both parties but the Bulls have seemed lukewarm to the idea for some reason.


I just don't get the Bulls thinking, not the council for not trying to put this partnership together.

Universities will invest capital in projects if they see great potential. An Odsal sports campus would create a stream of income to the university, the local community would benefit from increased spend from students in the local area and the council/Bulls would benefit from the facilities, increased commercial income opportunities and joint partnership opportunities with the uni (work placements, experience opportunities etc)... win-win all round.

From my experience the most obvious opportunities are often overlooked and it does seem like this is a huge one being missed.

Do Universities still adhere to the Wednesday afternoon agreement whereby there are no lectures, seminars or tutorials in that time thus freeing students for participation in team sports?

In general, yes that does still happen. Most universities take part in BUCS (British University & College Sport) leagues and cup which for the majority take place on Wednesdays.

Some university departments will try and sneak lab sessions in which makes things a bit tricky for students but on the whole the vast majority will play fixtures on Wednesdays and train the rest of the week.

The Stadium and indeed our onfield performance need improving to sneak up, or stop us from sliding down the ISG rankings.
As you can be assured that every other club will be scrambling to improve on what they can improve on..
We have scraped "The" 14th spot that would see you in SL should they go to 14 teams, but its by no means secured for when the grading actually counts next year,
I would be seriously looking at a top 4 finish in 2024 if I was us.
How you bring in a multi million pound stadium deal when you nor the council has a pot to pi$$ in is quite another conundrum. which Nige and Hirsty will need to make happen pretty damn sharpish.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

After reading this I'm wondering who now has the lease?

That's all very non-commital isn't it? Depends on the sale then next paragraph they're using 'new owner' like it's a done deal?

Why does anyone ever give any credence to things posted on SARL? It should be prefixed by YCB - the first four letters of the whole being an acronym of a John McEnroe "catchphrase."

T&A reported that Knight Frank (the company handling the sale of the lease) had had a number of expressions of interest but nobody had got as far as a due diligence test.

So the lease is still held by the RFL.
