http://www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=168294&st=20 As for there being no real news with regard to the Sporting Village project, the consultants will present their feasibility study to stakeholders on March 31 along with a business model and discussion about capital funding needed for the project. The stakeholders who are all on board and committing themselves to the project include: Bradford Council Bradford Bulls Yorkshire Forward Sport England Bradford & Airedale PCT Bradford College Bradford University Indeed the College and the University see the development as being part of their accommodation strategies for 2011, which constitutes a £200m capital investment. I am more confident about the OSV happening in the next couple of years than i probably ever have been, which is not the same as saying it definitely will happen but with the host of people they have on board, particularly the College and the University, they have a good chance of delivering.

I was at Leigh Sports Village this morning, it was a hive of activity with all the facilities being used by various organisations. And Leigh, as much as I'd wish otherwise, is hardly a centre of international business! The sooner Odsal gets such facilities, the better!

"the consultants will present their feasibility study to stakeholders on March 31 along with a business model and discussion about capital funding needed for the project"

have to admit that while the last couple of weeks have been pretty disasterous on the pitch the ominous silence following this presentation is making me morenervous as this has a much longer term effect on the future of the club. You'd have thought we'd have heard something by now. 2 scenarios spring to mind

1. its gone badly and OSV has been blown out of water. Club could have been waiting until after a cup win to announce the news and lessen the pain slightly.

2. The results of meeting were in our favour and club are saving the announcement until just before leeds game to give us a much needed boost.

However the longer the silence continues the less I expect a positive outcome for us

cant post a link that will work. I could only get pages to display in firefox.

had a dig round on council minuts web site. Cant find any minutes for any relevent meetings on march 31st. However this if you look at advance notices for forthcoming meeting it states a decision will be made on april 21st. Not sure whether that means feasibility study has been presented already and they just need to make final decision or they're presenting study on april 21st and deciding same day.

Does my Bingley Rural money count as Keighley Money? Or Bradford money? Or Bingley money? I never can tell.

I can't see Keighley or Bradford (or for that matter Bingley) from my house, but I can see the masts up on Ilkley Moor. Maybe it should count as Ilkley money?

Although since we are only talking coppers its hardly material anyway...
