IIRC the last announcement wasnt clear on what would happen in the short term apart from source further funding.

Does anybody know if they are now designing the chosen design?

Apparently there's a small piece about Leigh East struggling to pay the price required by them at Leigh Sports Village in the League Express this week.

The people behind LSV are also behind OSV as far as I know...

It's not a new thing, the Leigh thing has been ongoing, and other authorities have had problems with community facilities at newly built football stadia. It's all well and good building good facilities "for the community" but decent facilities come with a price, and the groups which are used as justification for these things to be built using public funds often find themselves unable to afford to use them.

Big article in the City Gent Another point worth underlining is that the Bulls’ predicament has been brought upon them by themselves–with a little help it appears from their friends on Bradford Council. City fans will be able to sympathise with individual Bulls’ supporters, and will I am sure make every effort to welcome Bulls’ fans if and when ground-sharing takes place at Valley Parade. But it is not City supporters, or City’s owners, who have allowed the stadium at Odsal to deteriorate towards the point of dereliction. That para is pretty clueless. Thoughts on the rest of it? Interesting timetable included. The outline timetable for the implementation of the Odsal project is currently envisaged as follows: December 2009: Finalisation of financial commitments to the project. Spring-Summer 2010: Development contracts signed for the Odsal site. January 2011–Autumn 2012: Bulls move to share Valley Parade for the Rugby League seasons 2011 and 2012 whilst the new stadium is under construction. From Autumn 2012: Completion of the new stadium. The Bulls and the Bantams begin the transfer to Odsal, a move to be completed by both clubs by, say, August 2013, in time for the start of the Football League season 2013/14. After August 2013: Demolition of the Valley Parade stadium and redevelopment of the Valley Parade site for alternative uses.
