Can't help but think that Odsal is the key to everything. If that is true then this last 10 years is so much better than th Da Vinci Code. Not sure how Tom Hanks will feel about playing Ralph Rimmer.

I have had some magical moments at Odsal that will live with me forever. But it's a bloody great hole in the ground and if someone else wants it in such a way as to help them AND us, then that's fine by me. There's a brownfield site literally over the road with Noah's ark on it. Can't our 'boutique' stadium go there?

Haven't posted on here for years but have started reading again for obvious (tragic) reasons. Just a couple of points,

I don't understand the level of opprobrium for Nestegg and Mick. Mick is a fun character and shouldn't be taken too seriously. I've enjoyed Nestegg's posts but don't understand the point of them. Were he and his cohorts to take out a full page ad in the T&A and Weekly/Express making a bold bid for the club with basic details about who they were and their plans for the club with confidential proof of funds provided to the editor, then I think it would be a stark counterpoint to what he and many on here describe as a shameful and mirky years long process to where we are now. I think it would be very difficult for such an approach to be resisted by those he suggests have ulterior motives. At least it would give credence and support for an independent enquiry into this sequence of events which is desperately needed to restore confidence in the provenance of the sport. While they post on message boards - they don't actually exist, except to annoy those who are close to situation.

With regard to the sequence of events mentioned above, it seems Nigel Wood's DNA is spread thick over every one. That he has now come into ownership of the club, which in fairness many have known about for some months (years?) is a shock even to the cynical observer. From the secret loan, the purchase of the lease and dishonest cover story to the repeated tortuous administration/liquidation stories about interested groups ignored - the outright immoral fleecing of Omar Khan (didn't you vote for that and take a share of the money, Daddy Cool?). One group openly accusing Rimmer of lying. I'm sure many on here who've followed this could add a few more incidents. Even the manner in which Steve McNamara applied and was interviewed for the England job while still contracted to the Bulls, thereby precipitating the collapse of our season.

As stated in Totalrl the affair requires an independent enquiry. I think we should support that on this board. I agree with their inference re: Duffy and to be honest I'll struggle to support the club until this mess is investigated and the findings published. In conclusion, it looks corrupt.

Surely the new owners can just carry on with Chalmers' plans for a boutique stadium?

They must have been quite far down the road as he was confident of us getting in it after 2 years at Dewsbury.

Still waiting

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay mate.

We've just got a lot on looking to help the club liaising with likes of our friends at the Council and international backers etc.

Enjoyed the forum last night. Impressive or what?

As promised we'll look to attend to your many issues in due course, but as you are aware in the immediate term PumpetyPump has taken appropriate action which Charles and the other eggheads respect and acknowledge.

Yeah, agree with that. I've had longer than most at Odsal but I'm perfectly happy to let it go if we can find a cheaper and reasonable alternative in the City. To quote a few others, I support the Bulls not Odsal stadium. To be fair, the new people seem to realise the importance of being back in Bradford ASAP, so let's get a covenant on the ark before Noah comes back looking for it.
