Re: VP it is then! : Tue Mar 23, 2010 9:03 am  
If the club had to move to VP (looks like that will be the only other option now if the club is to stay in Bradford), anyone know where the 7-figure sum to be repaid to the council for leaving Odsal early will come from?

Totally effing disastrous news. Even if maybe not as big a surprise as it ought to be.

........ there's a whole new round of consultancy, new plans, approvals and dates of completion to go through yet man. You've just got to negotiate your way through the early stages of negativity and blame apportionment before the whole "Odsal redevelopment industry" begins again.

One thing's for sure - someone's making a lot of money out of the whole debacle.

Surely we can have a whip around to raise £10,000.01 :wink:

Looks like we all need to buy a euromillions lottery ticket then.........

The sooner we can get out of Odsal the better for the club. The problem is getting out without incurring a massive seven figure payment to the Council.

I always thought the £75m scheme was a pipedream and that anything that did get built would probably not include any stadium development. However while there was a possibility the club had to be seen to be on board, rather like it did in the Superdome fiasco.

While we remain locked into a contract to keep us at Odsal as it is until 2017 (?) I fear the club will have to keep tiptoeing around the incompetants at city hall and be unable to move. In the meantime the club has a real risk it will lose its license and go out of business.

Damn blast and buggeration.

Never liked Kevin Costner, or any other Robbing Hood!!!!

Re: VP it is then! : Tue Mar 23, 2010 9:52 am  
There are a few things:
1. the pitch at vp being too short. if we are moving there on a permanent basis, then lengthen it at the kop end. there is scope here and it would only really lose 3/4 rows of seats.
2. paying the council for leaving lease at odsal early. surely the council would allow us to repay this over say 30 years??? or simply go into admin and take a points hit. there is no relegation so we would be able to do so without it effecting things on the pitch.
3.traditional south bradford support. If people would rather watch championship 1 rugby at a stadium from the 1950's than superleague in a comfortable modern stadium, let them. there are enough sane people to make the move viable.
4. I am on the committee of a small social club 100 yards from VP and BCFC fans have kept us afloat since we welcomed them as members 5 years ago. another 13 match days would benfit us and other small businesses. Manningham is not as bad as people make out, and on street parking is just as easy and secure as around Odsal. And it is closer to rail and bus links. This would counter the difficulty that away fans (and some home ones) would have by having to cross the city.

Arrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Your council are the biggest cretins I have EVER come across outside articles which have headlines such as "Council found guilty of stealing millions".

Utter buffoons of the highest level. Come on get yourself out of Bradford and build the ground halfway down the M606.

What about the copious OFF street carparking at Odsal though (Richard Dunn etc)? Are you really saying VP has the same level of available parking?

Bradford Council are a disgrace. But it doesn't really appear to be their fault. Their lack of action for two years on the project is though.

This is the big sticking point and the thing I hope the club are intending to discuss with the council.
