i think staying at Odsal is the only viable option. To build a brand new stadium even a modest one would cost at least 10 million plus. Then locating and securing a suitable location would be very difficult. Only minor redevelopment of Odsal is required ; a roof over the tunnel terrace, extending and refurbishment of the changing rooms, upgrading of floodlights and scoreboard. A extensive redevelopment would be to extended the roof of the coral stand placing a terrace/seats underneath,bringing forward the Rooley La terrace square off and roof. Block in the corners to create a more intimate stadium. There you have a 20,000 plus stadium for less than 10m.

I struggle to understand why Odsal costs more to maintain than and other stadium other than may be having the admin block and offices away from the
corporate facility.

But why would anyone do this for less than 20 full openings a year. For anyone interested in buying the club I believe buying the lease off the RFL is essential and also council engagement is crucial. Just few questions to ponder - what is to happen the Richard Dunns sports centre and land? who is responsible for the acres of land south east of the coral stand towards the m606? Why did the swimming complex on Nelson Street suddenly get scrapped ? Answer these questions and may be the answer why buying the bulls could be of interest.

Talks of only a 12pt deduction for the reformed club. Surely that is the ideal outcome for a liquidated club to hope for?

Now, look at it this way, this might be the only way to get Marc Green out of the way, we have offers, RFL approved, players available out of contract. Could be a plan there somewhere?

Needs to be a club to exist to take that penalty!

New thread. Half the problem with site speed will be the size of this one. Get it locked and I'll do a final tally on the post counts.
