There are a few things:
1. the pitch at vp being too short. if we are moving there on a permanent basis, then lengthen it at the kop end. there is scope here and it would only really lose 3/4 rows of seats.
2. paying the council for leaving lease at odsal early. surely the council would allow us to repay this over say 30 years??? or simply go into admin and take a points hit. there is no relegation so we would be able to do so without it effecting things on the pitch.
3.traditional south bradford support. If people would rather watch championship 1 rugby at a stadium from the 1950's than superleague in a comfortable modern stadium, let them. there are enough sane people to make the move viable.
4. I am on the committee of a small social club 100 yards from VP and BCFC fans have kept us afloat since we welcomed them as members 5 years ago. another 13 match days would benfit us and other small businesses. Manningham is not as bad as people make out, and on street parking is just as easy and secure as around Odsal. And it is closer to rail and bus links. This would counter the difficulty that away fans (and some home ones) would have by having to cross the city.
