I wouldn't be completely against moving to VP, under the right terms.

TBH, I'm getting fed up of clinging to a sliver of hope.....FFS make the decision; either build it or have the balls to say you're not and we can all start looking to the future!

Indeed.

Quite clear that Odsal stadium and Cougar park should be demolished, and replaced with a shared purpose-built stadium. As with all such new stadia, it needs to be built as near as possible to the strategic road network to maximise commercial use and cost-defraying opportunities. The best site in the district meeting that criterion would be at the top of the M606...

Same here but those terms are the sticking point. We would need to be equal partners in every respect and we wouldn't be wanting to be lumbered with any costs that might handicap the future of the club, i.e paying some third party for the privilege of being there, unless it's a peppercorn rent.

However while there's a chance of getting the stadium developed as part of the OSV we should be 100% behind it.

Hey mate, if we COULD get a shared stadium for the two clubs as I envisaged, I would be ecstatic. Suspect the location would not suit the good burghers of Keighley, although on a purely personal basis I would prefer the new shared stadium to be built somewhere off the new road between Keighley and Crossflats - cos that would be much nearer for me...!

whats the proplem with bradford fans about maybe moving to valley parade genuine question. i remember going there when you guys was there and seemed good to me alot better then odsal, i know fans would rather have there own stadium ect but for me id rather the club be in a better shape with a nice stadium ect then risk losing a licence. at the moment bradford arnt in trouble about been kicked out of super beacuse bradford are a big club with decent crowds ect but as time goes on and crowds carry on falling ect and other teams get there new stadiums you could risk losing a place in super league. also i heard bradford city was in finacial difficulties so they would welcome the bulls to valley parade.
