Depends where they walk to! If the franchise re-appears in the south of France I'm not sure I'll be a regular at home games!

I'm sure there are areas just outside the Bradford boundries that would be suitable for a valid franchise.

Which ever way you look at it, it's looking increasingly likely

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??

As in moving to Valley Parade or moving out of town? As far as i recall the last time Hood was questioned about moving to VP he said it was a non starter, so would the Bulls leave Bradford? And if so, where would they go?

When I spoke to him, he said there was 'Plan B, C, and D' already in place should the OSV not come off. He wouldn;t be drawn as to what they were/are.

Come come. Everyone knows that Bradford do not have a Plan "B", never mind a C or a D.

Stop getting our hopes up Andrew.

It’s pleasing there are contingencies in place.
Part of me thinks longer term stability lies away from Odsal

I agree. Re-development of the stadium seems to be a none starter and always has been.

Given that I have seen no evidence in all the years I've watched the Bulls/Northern that the Council consider us to be much of an asset, I'd like to think the club might have sounded out the surrounding Local Authorities about how supportive they might be in hosting the Bulls franchise. We'd only have to pop halfway down the M606 to get into Kirklees and still retain much of our catchment area/transport links.
