OSV Appointment whats this though - 4th/5th feasibility study? do they have to a fresh one every time the plans change a bit?. With all the money the council have wasted on feasibility studies they could have put a roof on pop side

As I said above, I feared that any new design would lead to another feasibility study and more delay.

However before long enough studies will have been completed whereby every possible design and plan will have been covered so a new way to prevaricate will need to be thought of.

Peter Hood and Ronnie Todd at the fans forum both stated that a feasibility study would be undertaken so it's no great surprise.

Never mind the roof, they could have built the Westfield stadium in the city centre.

with all the talk of ground share , a new article in YP has popped up , one thing that caught my eye "Although plans for the village, which will occupy the site of the current rugby stadium as well as adjacent land around the old Northern View sanatorium, remain fluid it seems likely the famous Odsal bowl will be filled in"

Well I too thought it was going to be re developed around the existing stadium!

It's the first time I've seen that picture I think but Hood has said in the past that the plans involved swinging the pitch through 90 degrees. I assumed from that the hole was getting filled in and a new structure was going on top. From the looks of that picture the hole is getting filled in and becoming a car park whilst the stadium is where the hospital was.
