Clogiron Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 When I saw what the admission prices are for championship rugby at Odsal I can't say I would be suprised if they were having cash flow problems. It's all very well having advance prices and family tickets available pre game but Odsal is the one ground where the weather on the day plays a significant part on the attendence, and obviously the prices have ailenated a lot of people who due to personal circumstances don't wish to purchase a season or advance ticket, or did no one consider these facts!

Sell the land and let the council help out Bradford from the proceeds Why should my council tax go to bailing out them?

fieldofclothofgold Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I hope Bulls can stay in the city ,but when I see Odsal now it makes me sad . Everyone knows how hard it is for RL clubs go even redevelop their stadia let alone move to a brand new ones .if they cant think about a move to Valley Parade how about playing at Farsley Celtic for awhile quite a few Bulls fans in this area ?

Farsley would be a non-starter. The ground is too small, it's a long, long way from having the required facilities and the local area could never cope with the traffic demand. Horsfall would be a more suitable option, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Damian Irvine and Bradford Park Avenue have parted company. Other than a terse statement on the BPA website it doesn't give much away - but that may put the kybosh on going to that stadium.

wilsontown Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I can't see how Horsfall is any more suitable than Farsley as the capacity is only 3,500 and a lot of that is standing next to the athletics track. It's a pretty rubbish place to watch football, although they did kindly provide a beer tent the last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fevtom Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I haven't read the League Express yet, so I still don't know what's going on at Odsal. If there's absolutely no chance of a ground share with Bradford City then some sort of ground share with Park Avenue at a new/renovated ground would make sense. There's no need for three separate stadiums in Bradford. With current crowds (a little over 500) Park Avenue probably don't have much power to sway a decision but they have been doing reasonably well and if they ever got back into the football league who knows.

Is this the same Bradford whose fans mocked, ridiculed and lambasted Huddersfield as a "joke club" and a "disgrace to the game" etc and who insisted back in 2005 that we'd be bust and irrelevant in 10 years while they continued their world domination? I don't like to see any club struggle, but forgive me a slight snigger- again. I do hope for their decent, loyal fans sake they can sort themselves out but it seems unlikely given their recent history.

I can't possibly see why a club trying to promote themselves to new fans should be something to criticise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
