That T&A story in the paper was presented in such a manner - big pics of VP with a tick by it, Odsal (sorry, 'Vanity Parade' ) with a cross that the casual reader would assume that the T&A itself was coming out against the OSV. Can we expect a similar amount of space devoted to a rebuttal?

most of the stories in t&a seem to take a similar pro vp / anti odsal stance. Think its a case of city supporters trust being very active in providing copy to the paper. Bulls as a club need to get a bit more pro-active in this regard ( although I can see why they may feel they have to take a bit of a backseat as if they make too much noise we fall into the trap of odsal being seen as just a new stadium for bulls when its a much more involved project than that. this has always been problem with the marketing of the project in my opinion. too much emphasis on the stadium part and not enough on the rest of the development).

I'm sure the T&A would like to see us cosying up to City at VP.

I think you've explained why there's been no Bulls comment there.

Anyone talking up the Odsal scheme needs to do it without sounding partisan like the City fans are.

What does that mean then?

a) A plan will be set out for the redevelopment, working around us in 2010
b) It's fallen through

I know where my money is.

It's not fallen through yet. But it will never happen by 2012.

Does this mean we're on shaky ground re our super league franchise?

I think the important phrase is whole of next season, if it had fallen through think they would say foreseeable future. dont think they could have realistically expected work to start before end of 2010 season without saying something in season ticket literature.
we havent had a warnig about stadium unlike 5 other clubs so it wont affect our franchise although it may lose us a point or two depending how they award points this time.
