Unfortunately for you guys the SL licences aren't granted purely on the state of the ground

Realise that WB - I was attempting irony! We had less going for us than Salford & Widnes, but more than CC. (as you'll see when you visit (New) South Wales.) If they'd only said they wanted expansion outside the hearlands, that would be fine, but, as usual, they (RFL) have to go about things deviously!

Anyway, look forward to seeing you at the LSV, when Mr. Whelan says he needs the JJB, for a 'roundball' match. (irony again, by the way)

That's not far from the mark if the rumours around Wigan are true!

Oops! Had heard that they would consider moving 'lesser' games from the JJB - i.e. cup-ties against NL opposition.

Yeah but that announcement is just that they've managed to secure a comprehensive review.

I left Bradford in 1967, and was aregular at Odsal from 1944, and all the time we were promised a new ground development, and of course we were going to be the Wembley of the North. Sadly when I look round the ground I can see much that has not changed since'44'
Now living in S Wales which is supposed to be a deprived area, I see new sporting facilities being erected on a regular basis. At the moment both Llanelli and Cardiff City are having new stadiums built, and already it would appear that Bridgend will shortly see new development.
None of these places has the same size population has Bradford, so why on earth does Bradford, irrespective of political persuasion vote for councils that apparently can do nothing for the city?

Because in council think 'Why give em something new when the proles will put up with what they've got'.

If the Council just keep Talking the Talk. Will you still follow the Bulls when they decide to Walk the Walk and depart from Odsal??

According to Peter Hood "if there are no bulldozers shifting earth at Odsal in 2010" that probably will happen
