Isn't it a few days early to be getting people with these?

That said though this could be something our board could latch on to and try to exploit.

I think now would be a good chance to put plans together for a new main stand and see if they and Sport England will help us out.

If they are that desperate to spend their £20 million on something then yes, we should be in there with cupped hands.

I laughed when I saw that the plans had fallen through. That probably makes me bitter.

I'm sure they will come to an agreement with The RFL in time for the next Super League if The RFL don't like the state of Odsal. Will they be able to use Valley Parade again?

I never could quite understand why they don't share Valley Parade.

It holds more fans than the B*lls will ever need it to, 3 of the stands are less than 15 years old and it's within walking distance of the city centre.

If they used a quarter of the money they were going to use on Odsal on the end opposite the Kop and the corner where they come out, you'd have a ground holding around 30k and one of the top 3 grounds in Super League.

Why do they want an all-seater stadium? I appreciate Odsal needs more seating, but if terracing is allowed surely it's better to have a mix? Not everyone likes to sit down whilst abusing the ref/linesman/opposition...
