Today's T&A reads as though Odsal is choice number one for getting back to bradford. Personally I've had enough of the old girl. I'd be pushing hard to get the Richard Dunn land for a modest (I'm not using the B word) stadium.

Yeah, I read the article and it certainly seems that way

I don't really understand the chain of events here to be honest. Did we REALLY leave Odsal / Bradford just because of the rental cost that we were paying? Because if we are just going to go back there in 2021, it sure seems that way. What will have changed apart from that? It will still be a crumbling stadium that barely passes a safety inspection - unless a sugar addy comes along with millions to do it, and nobody believe that's going to happen...

Sounds like the pie in the sky plan was to have a new stadium and we were prepped with tales of expense, crumbling infrastructure and boutique stadium.

With snakeoil Chalmers gone it appears either The RFL, BBBBBBBBBB Ltd or CBMDC have shat their pants at the new build plan and decided it was too rich for their blood...

What better way to go hide in a fridge than say 'The Fans want Odsal, the fans love Odsal...we'd better get back hell or high water...' ITS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!

None of this makes sense at all. A stadium not fit for purpose which costs a fortune to maintain.This, to home a team that without serious investment, will not progress any time soon. A return alone will not inspire the masses to return.I think we need a completely new start, a new home in Bradford and an investor to provide funding for our squad. We can all from experience see little chance of this..so more of the same old same old.

IF we returned it would be under a new lease negotiated by current owners, who one would hope would not agree to saddle us with expenses normally paid for by holders of the head lease. So if RFL want us as a tenant in 2021 they would have to think about cutting their cloth.

Agree with most of the above.

The one thing which has changed is the owner. I'm not sure how that affects the cost of running at Odsal in any way and if it was too expensive under AC then it, presumably, is still too expensive under the new broom.

To be honest, I'm not fussed about Odsal - if it's too expensive lets stop pussyfooting about and get on with finding a new facility somewhere in Bradford, and I am fussed about 'In Bradford'. I agree with Pumpy, the T&A article does seem to be pushing Odsal as the intended 'new home' and the whole business gets evermore baffling with every passing day.

Maybe we could come to agreement with the RFL to only use the Southbank and Seating Stand at a reduced cost, maintenance would be less as both are more than suitable and wouldn't need much work.
