Why 3 SL clubs interest in Odsal : Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:47 am  

Item from an article in today’s LE.
LE. If the Council and the RFL sell Odsal for an alternative development, will the Bulls receive any of the funds, either directly or in the form of a contribution to the cost of a new Stadium.
AC. No the RFLand the Bradford Council will benefit from any sale proceeds. I am aware that a consortium involving the owners of Huddersfield,Hull KR and Wakefield have undertaken due diligence on acquiring the site after receiving an open invitation from the RFL a few months ago, and I’m also aware that their representatives had a meeting with the Bradford Council last month.

I’m just curious, it’s probably a straight forward business venture.

I recall Chalmers dummy spit at the time, crying foul play from Hudgell and Carter. Davy I didn't know about. I also didn't know it was by invitation of the RFL. Carter and Trinty have enough on with their own moneypit decrepit stadium which is mortgaged to the hilt without the distraction of another.

The original interest from a few SL chairmen was I believe initially triggered when the RFL bought Odsal and tried to sell it to the Bradford club at a discounted rate, I remember Hudgell and Carter speaking about it at the time, not followed on from that since myself. Can see it being allowed now if the Bulls are to move out, being that there will no longer be conflict of interest, that said I cant see the value in the land myself, unless of course they know something we do not.
