fairfolly Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Johnny, Does that mean that the Bulls can only sell their merchandise on match day at the ground ?Or are they not allowed to sell any of their merchandise on any day at the ground..I have no idea but I would have thought the two Chairmen would have sorted that problem out. If the Bulls have to use Dewsbury,s property then it is only right that they have to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recon frenchgate in Doncaster would have been the have been the most challenging one I can think of .

And built the underground car park. This is no different to what would be done at Odsal. Except that at Odsal half the hole at least has been dug for you. What is so special about Odsal and its hole... is it radio active or something? It is possible I suppose that Bradford Council are as thick as 2 short planks.

lucky 7 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 19 hours ago, Blind side johnny said: Those figures keep being bandied about but I don't think that they are directly comparable. The £2k quoted, if it is correct, is simply a rental charge which should be compared with the £72 pa that they have been paying at Odsal. There is a bland assumption being made that the Bulls won't have to make any contributions to ground and pitch maintenance but would this actually be the case? AC has already commented about significan changes needing to be made to the bar and catering facilities - Dewsbury won't be paying for any of this. Add in considerable additional costs on match days and the cost to Bradford will start to significantly exceed £2k. None of us has any idea what the real costs will be. If I were a betting man I would hazard ten bob on the Bulls playing in Bradford next season. I can't see Dewsbury letting the Bulls keep all revenue from the bar and catering on Bulls match days. In fact i can't see Dewsbury letting any of the revenue from the bar and catering go to the Bulls, not unless the Bulls pay a up front fee for the use of the bar and catering facilities.

If we had true franchising then clubs would be forbidden from poaching one another's territory. But more to the point Bradford were not just advertising their games in the areas I said, they were undercutting the ticket prices of those clubs, and apparently losing money in the process. When the hit the fan, and they were holding out the begging bowl, they expected the RFL to support them. The RFL some of whose numbers they had spent years undermining. I was told that they were going round with the buckets at the Fev cup game, expecting Fev supporters to donate. But if the rumours about the CCJ's is true, Fev are one of the clubs they withheld gate money from. Sport is s business but a business unlike other businesses because it depends on goodwill between the clubs. Bradford, certainly in the past appear to have ruined any goodwill that existed, by their actions. What on earth has the money side of things got to do with what I said? I’m not talking the money just saying it’s laughable teams in the locality cried the poor tale about Bradford poaching fans while doing next to nothing to get fans in their area through the door. typical sit and wait nature of the sport no wonder it won’t go anywhere other than where it is now.

That would be generous, but it depends on how much the hiring fee is. I was speaking to a work colleague from Cincinnati who supports the soccer team there. They are building a new stadium and in the meantime are hiring a facility from the University. The rent is low, but the Uni keeps all the concessions and the parking fees. The average crowd is 27000 so that could be a lot of money per game. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.

Love to see full pitch numbers and the team crest painted on rather than a rather mundane set of white lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
