Future of Odsal : Fri Aug 18, 2017 9:30 pm  

Hull FC fan in peace, no agenda other than I live locally.

Apologies if covered elsewhere but heard some outlandish rumours today (from a random source) which can be summarised as;
RFL have agreed to sell Odsal for housing
Richard Dunn centre will be demolished and will house a new 12k seater for you guys
RFL also to relocate Red Hall to this site.

Sounds bonkers to me but the source, although nothing whatever to do with RL, generally has their finger on local property news. Sound crazy?

Sounds about right to me

Who does then? If the council it might be a goer?

Sell Odsal for housing? Can they build housing on it with it being an old landfill site?

Re: Future of Odsal : Fri Aug 18, 2017 10:45 pm  

They can build houses on it.

Doesn't sound mad to me. RFL sell the lease to fund a stadium and Bradford council sell land to fund new sports centre.

Win win

The RFL just want money and so do Bradford Council they don't give 2 figs for the Bulls

Re: Future of Odsal : Sat Aug 19, 2017 6:08 am  

Do the Bulls have any garentee from the RFL they won't just kick em out of Odsal?

Re: Future of Odsal : Sat Aug 19, 2017 6:14 am  

The Bulls have to play there until 2019. Also the owners of the stadium will want a permanent tenant. And the council understands that 2 recognisable sports teams in Bradford are better than 1

That caveat was written by the council. If they stand to make some money out of a deal I'm sure they'll overlook it.
