Bradford Bulls accused of ’emotional and financial torment’ by stock car racing company

BRADFORD BULLS have been accused of “emotional and financial torment” by the company which ran stock car racing at Bartercard Odsal.

YorStox and Bradford agreed a severance deal in May which means motorsport will no longer take place at the stadium.

In a statement YorStox took aim at the Bulls with claims they “were not welcome” following Bradford’s acquisition of the stadium from the RFL.

They said: “It became very apparent in July 2025, that after acquiring the lease from the RFL, albeit at a lower bid from ourselves, once the Bulls had completed the acquisition of the stadium, we were not welcome.

“We fought legal battles to see out the 2025 season and against our best wishes, in May 2026 finally agreed a severance deal with the Bulls.

“It is a deft blow to our sport, but finalises the end of 18 months of emotional and financial torment for the Andrew and Robson families that have given their every all to Odsal from its very rebirth.

“To those that have supported us, we thank you.

“To all those who have been negative towards us it is noted and both sides will be responded to accordingly in full, at our forthcoming endeavours which will always ensure Stockcar racing remains alive.

A Bulls spokesperson told the Telegraph and Argus: “We have been advised not to answer any specific questions on this subject.

“Needless to say, there were differing opinions that ultimately led to both parties agreeing to bring the existing lease to an end.”
