Did the buyers of Central park and Widnes ground do it for the club or themselves? Both clubs were happy with it.
I'll try not to derail the thread and keep it relevant to Bradford, but I have some recollection that there were some structural issues with Central Park. Wigan are mere tenants to a stadium supplied by someone else. The Widnes ground is on the same site as Naughton Park, so no one has bought it.
Widnes are relevant though as the point of the all-weather pitch is that it can be used every day and all year round, Richie Mathers's knees permitting, so generates much needed income for the club.
