Unsurprisingly a very one sided article, fair discussion about the pro's and con's of moving to odsal. but then one line of why the bulls should move to VP and no costings of the long term upkeep of VP.

I understand that he wants to stay at VP but if your going to write a piece like that you need to carry though all the arguments raised rather than just some of them.

A partisan article but what does anyone expect?

As long as the Odsal scheme remains on the drawing board 99% of Bulls fans will support it and 99% of City fans will probably be against it. It;s up to the council to look beyond any parochial interests and make the best decision.

How big is the supporters trust at BCFC? I wonder just how much weight it had behind it or whether most fans are pretty apathetic like our own.

Don't think there's been a bit of a shift amongst City fans though Sam? Every time this comes up on their board there seems to be a significant minority (poll I saw but it just under 40%) that support a move to Odsal. The 99% opposition was there a few years ago but seems to be on the wane now.

That minority will shrink significantly if it is revealed that the club will have to put itself into administration and incur a large points deduction from the football league. Ten to twenty points could be the difference between promotion and lower midtable or midtable and relegation. The article says that there will be a referendum over the move, if administration was to be involved i know where my vote would be going...

Well yeah, out of business, out of the league, or out to Odsal isn't really a choice most City fans would have to take long to think about

I'd be okay with moving to Odsal if it didn't involve administration, wouldn't want the Bulls to go anywhere if it involved admin and points deductions either.
