Bfd Met, along with Calderdale, were going to build such a plant at Bowling Back Lane last year, but it was backheeled late in the day. Not entirely sure why, but I think it had something to do with a grant failing to materialise which screwed up the finances. IIRC the Govt money went on to fund a similar scheme in Leeds [no surprise there then].
I'd guess a private company may well find it a good investment and Odsal would be ideal, given its past use, ease of access and sheer size. I'd guess the council would get a fair old price for the land and be able to provide a suitable ground for the Bulls, maybe to be built by the new owner. Wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall in the meeting between company, club, council and RFL - I think I've got headache already.
Not shocked at all that it ended up going to Leeds! This seems like the logical reason for Sawrij to be involved, as you say it means the government may not have to fund this project and the council will receive a lot of money for the land. Almost like their work is being done for them in terms of Sawrij developing the Odsal site. If I am honest I am all for a recycling plant or something similar to be built! The more of those the merrier! Be nice if we could get one of those energy producing recycling plants! Could use it to power Odsal
annd look how the season ended
