On 20 August 2017 BB's Ferocious Aardvark said and we paraphrase his words for emphasis ....
"I've been banging on about this for a while. The reason the RFL are up to something, and why they acquired the lease on Odsal in the first place .... (The) Bulls aren't important to them (i.e. the RFL) after 2019 when the rugby playing covenant expires, but (the Bulls) have a sublease so can't be booted (out)".
Ferocious Aardvark may be somewhat correct, but what proof (if any) does he, or any forum member for that matter, have of the time dependant covenant in the Odsal stadium head lease that he refers to above?
Spring 2019 is after all not far away. And what use is a sublease to us Bulls fans anyway if our iconic Odsal stadium can't, or won't, be used to play rugby league on post Spring 2019?
If it is in fact planned that there is to be no rugby league played at Odsal post Spring 2019 then what do Bradford Council and all the rugby league loving 'stakeholders' (inc Neil Hudgell and Michael Carter) have to say about this?
Rugby league fans are in any event 'stakeholders' in the sport of rugby league. The RFL may presently own the Odsal head lease, but in effect so do all the 'stakeholders' of rugby league, including ourselves. Don't we have a voice re the future of the sport's most iconic stadium?
If Odsal stadium is to be redeveloped without rugby league being played there, then why would all this be kept under wraps, and have other more higher value development options from other external well funded parties been considered?
The time is surely nigh for open public consultation in regard to the future of Odsal stadium; such consultation is of less use after 'the act'.
