The direction of travel seems to be a new build over the road on the Richard Dunne site and Startrax gets to redevelop Odsal for stock cars without having to compromise for rugby. Where the cash comes from is another matter

That's always been my preference too. I don't know if zoning comes into it, but a brownfield site with leisure use, directly over the road from our historical home sounds pretty perfect. What size though? 10k but scalable? Would we invite BPA and if we did would they want to come, and could they untap FA money?

Lots of moving parts to that solution and all require a massive injection of cash.

I’m still waiting on that massive euromillions win at which point we can look at sorting out the stadia.

On a serious note, it would need a huge amount of cash which no interested party would have and then ones that do werent interested in our pomp so you’d think it would be a harder sell now.

Although, and no disrespect to salford intended, but I always thought Marwan could have had everything he wanted had he rocked up at Bradford instead but that’s just another classic Bradford near miss I guess.

Anything other than a purpose built stadium over the road would just be papering over the cracks if we tried gradually upgrading the current site. I don’t think you can fully appreciate the scale of the place until you’re at the bottom of the bowl. Whilst the place holds many happy memories, it isn’t fit for purpose and is an absolute nightmare from a construction point of view.

I’d love to believe something could happen, but we’ve been let down so many times it is difficult to believe.

Depressing thread. Plainly there is no quick or easy resolution. One small piece of encouraging news is that Startrax are looking into using different shale, which will hopefully reduce the spraying of red dust.

There’s no obvious solution with financial investment that’s for sure, which makes me doff my cap to messrs Wood and co for taking the challenge on.

Having been at a season ticket donation event last night I was entertained by him and am happy with how the clubs been run so far.

Now for more progress on and off the field
