    Default Odsal Stadium

    Looks like Bradford are moving away from the hole in the ground stadium and playing at Dewsbury.

    Sad day for Bradford again, But good news for the R.L who own the ground can now earn a fortune using it as a land fill.

    Don't know why Valley Parade can't be used? Maybe to much rent?

    my guess would be the owner is trying to force the rugby league to pay for improvements to odsal or he will move the team out of bradford

    I've heard the same. Surely Bradford Park Avenues ground would be a better choice short term, I had a look earlier, it holds 3500 so would be close to being full every week and is actually in the city fairly close to Odsal, there also looks to be scope to raise the capacity if needed. Just another instance of RFL incompetence in my eyes and not holding (Yorkshire) clubs to task over there dump grounds.

    Bradford asked for money to develop it as an Olympic legacy stadium. The money they requested went to that great southern city Sheffield.

    The money went to Sheffield after Don Valley had been demolished. I think it went to the Athletics centre. but not 100% on that one.

    That's what it's called but it can hardly be called a stadium.

    The RFL do not own the ground, which is owned by Bradford City Council. However, the RFL does own the lease. I'm sure Bradford City Council would love to knock it down for housing.
