Blind side johnny Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 14 hours ago, Bcfc2014 said: Its not a fixed cost for Odsal. The rent is 72k a year. The rest is on Bill's for the ground and maintenance, for example they had to do a repair job on the toilets in the main stand that wasn't cheap and unexpected costs. You really are splitting hairs. When a new business decides to establish itself, as distinct from taking over an existing one, which this wasn't, then the investors will look very closely indeed at all cost implications including maintenance and capital investment. They will then make their decisions on that basis whether to invest or not. If the investors didn't do their sums properly that is just a case of atrocious business-modelling and nothing whatsoever to do with the RFL or Bradford Council. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalmers had no choice but to play at Odsal when he took over as was 2 years left on 5 year lease agreed with RFL, they made this part of the rules for forming a new club in Bradford, Chalmers did his research but either way had no choice. Hence why he has refused to sign a new lease deal even when pushed by RFL, this is 1st time we can leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cos they've got a few more fans than the likes of Dewsbury, Batley etc , should never have been allowed to go f/t this season. I agree totally.I didn't express it very well I really feel for the real fans of Bradford and they are the ones who are getting the s==t end of the stick all the time. Also I think the game could benefit from a second Big club in West Yorkshire.I'm afraid Cas and Wakey don't qualify.Fev are a long way off so who does that leave.

Dog Faced Gremlin Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Bradford could always move wholesale to tong high school, spend all their money on other teams players and then get rewarded with a lovely trip to wembly in the 1066 cup. For when the one great scorer comes to mark against your name he writes not if you won or lost but how you played the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They issued a list of wishes that would gain an advantage for any bidder who met them - Chalmers didn't put up the bond that was also on that list so far from no choice. As for the 2 years left on the 5 years lease, wasn't one of Bradford and the RFL's arguments against the ex-employees claims that the club was an entirely new business..............surely that would have made the existing lease agreement void?

Lost Wilson who wasn't on a lot been a under 19s player I know he's on a big wage now at Giants. We only got a team that big for the reserve grade will benefit next year. I've been told fax, keighley and another team ain't allowed to run one next year yet rfl making it a new rule. Keighley for example could run a reserve grade get super league teams said they couldn't but keighley can with 600-1000 gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
