Valley parade X Dewsbury long term X Odsal without SL X
Replace De Niro and Walken in the Vietnamese jungle, two bullets in the gun, with Wood and Sawyer sat at Odsal Top and you might get some sense of the options available.
What about the boutique stadium over the road? The chances of building that are not dissimilar to the chances of us making Odsal economically viable. Bloody slim.

Yeah its such a cute phrase I can't help but use it. It does give a lovely mental picture of a 15,000 place though doesn't it. The Trevor Foster stand for seated season ticket holders. Directly opposite the main Brimah Kebbie stand. Behind the sticks the away fans are in the Nick Zisti which you expect to be good but is surprisingly crap.

Daft thing is, though I would never have believed it, I'm pretty happy watching Championship rugby.
Would I like to watch SL again? Well, yes but I can't see it happening until we get a seriously wealthy backer who's prepared to put up the moolahs and he's not around yet, so far as I can see. Speedway, stock cars, horse carriage racing, world marbles championships (that should look great from the back of the stand, btw..) and all the rest is just typical empty paper talk with little or no substance.
I could see stock cars at Odsal but I can't see us being involved, if only because currently we have nothing to bring to the party, not sure if we could even manage a bottle for the opening.

The deal is about 95% of the way there to bring regular Stock Car meetings and the F1 Stock Car World Championships meeting in September to Odsal next year.
It's all sounding very positive behind the scenes with Nigel Wood, Mark Sawyer, Steve Rees and the RFL (Ralph and Tony) agreeing on a deal last week at Odsal Stadium.
If you listen to my interview with Steve, he explains everything in great detail about what will and won't happen, but be rest assured the Bradford Bulls and Stock Car racing will be back at the stadium next April.

It's all positive.
call me cynical but is stock car racing even that big a sport to make any real difference to the club earning money?
