Interesting, Didn't you tell Hapetobehere that there was no interest in an inquiry from other clubs?

Reddog - if we did then we may well have been principally rererring to two Chamionship clubs, our very own, and the Rams. Mark Sawyer, as per recent press coverage, sees no particular purpose in any form of inquiry into what's gone on with the Bulls and Odsal etc over recent years.

We believe Mark has to all intents and purposes been directed to be a front man and smokescreen for the likes of Ralph, Karen, Simon and of course Nigel. He appears to be 'desperately' doing a grand job so far; or is he ?

We don't go on conventional social media platforms mate, but we can make two points re the above:

1) Any inquiry needs to go back to say mid 2011 - a few months prior to when Nigel Wood and his allegedly dodgy RFL buddy, Richard 'Posh Boy' Lewis, elected to buy the Odsal head lease off Hood 'for the good of the game'. Shortly after the head lease re-assignment the RFL said to the BBC on 24 January 2012, and we quote:

"This arrangement is absolutely the right thing to do because it safeguards the future of one of the sport's most famous stadia," and

"Odsal is famous throughout the world. It would be a tragedy were the venue to be lost to the sport in the way that other evocative rugby league venues have already been lost."

So eight years later where are we? The stadium has been (allegedly purposefully) run into the ground by the RFL. The South Bank stadium is apparently on the point of collapse. The key head lease clause requiring RL to be played at Odsal was rendered null and void in late Spring 2019, and shortly thereafter it is no coincidence that the Bulls left Odsal (and Bradford) based on largely fictitious reasons. All this whilst the Council's CE - Kersten England (from Scotland) - in recent times sat back and sipped complimentary drinks etc in the crumbling South Bank.

It is we allege a disgrace.

2) In any event as said previously any inquiry will in all likelihood be a long drawn out whitewash. A more direct approach to meaningfully address the Bulls fans many legitimate grievances re Odsal etc is required. In doing so a positive, truly independent and fair outcome should materialise. Watch this space.

Which part of the stadium is the South bank is it the curved building on stilts

So some of us are believing Ralph Rimjob is involved?

The way it's been heading the last few years, I wouldn't be shocked if someone told me Gary Glitter & Rose West were part of the consortium.

League Express are saying Rose is denying this as she's better off where she is.

Maybe so, but remember that all that glitters may not necessarily be gold.

That said, some allegedly corrupt folk don't care less about the glitter, all they appear to care about is the pot of gold at the end of Stadium Road.

As the said pot of gold is the land and surrounds that it is known as Odsal belongs to BMDC its going to be iron pyrites, unless you're now saying the Council will be up for selling the land??

Yes of course Blotto, the freeholder is BMDC, but for several reasons that fact currently has little bearing on our hypothesis re the RFL owned head lease.

If you read the 'Odsal stadium' head lease we are advised that it paints a different picture, AND more importantly a potential money making opportunity for the RFL et al. Of course it is conceivable that our advisor in this regard may be mistaken.

As per usual, we don't wish to say more due to legal reasons.

Re: Bulls Takeover : Sun Nov 10, 2019 8:07 am  

So now your hinting that for the RFL to purchase the lease the Council sweetened the deal by allowing more flexibility than previously? Probably in the knowledge that there are several mechanisms at Local and Government level that would stall any redevelopments outside the Stadium use! l wouldn't worry too much about it!
