Obviously that isn't going to happen on either count now. Whether there was in substance in the above rumours i don't know or it could have been pie in the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious reply: have now read it and that does all seem to fit a lot more with what we know about the people involved and their attitude to running both Odsal and the Bulls.

Jughead Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Wood, Gledhill, Bradford and The RFL. It’s like a combination of all of the game’s bad guys coming together like you see in films. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're genuine quotes it's a staggeringly awful way to treat their fans. Perhaps not particularly surprising given the individual involved but sad none the less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when some of the questions are so loaded and passive aggressive - if not just aggressive - and to some degree irrelevant I have some sympathy with Wood. af also is hardly a neutral and unbiased observer either so taking his reading also makes me pause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Even Nigel Wood said it was a 10-1 shot that the Odsal Sports City would happen. Having grown up through all the previous versions, I'd be inclined to add a few noughts to those odds Sorry for the cynicism, we've been here too many times before. I'll believe it when I see it.

Loiner Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The plans were shown to the fans on the back of a wet beer mat. It had a drawing of the new Castleford ground scribbled out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 That thread is utterly depressing, surely there must be a conflict of interest in there. "I don't work for the RFL ask them" doesn't count as a good response, especially when the question relates directly to decisions during his tenure as CEO.

On the one hand, a lack of transparency. On the other hand, a failure to really declare an interest. I mean, if you wanted an almost too on-the-nose snapshot of rugby league in Bradford? 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
