So, here we go. Levelling up money. It has not yet been awarded but the plan for Bradford South involves an Odsal redevelopment. I've collected some of the pertinent links, including today's T&A.

The council have prepared bids for all 5 Bradford District wards. We tried a stadium with Tesco as a partner - failed. The council needs to take the lead, and seems to be doing so.

I thought we were up to version 14.4 now to be honest



On a serious note, im a bit of a stadium nerd. In todays day and age there is absute zero need to build a new ground with fans so far away from the pitch if the are behind the sticks. Absolute terrible design on that front. The rest doent look too shabby tho!

The talk of a new stadium development didn't Omar Khan once have plans to develop the ground and turn the pitch to face the stand so it would be behind the posts or have I got it wrong.

How close do you think we came to having a new ground back in the day? Was this it: https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... dium-plan/

Not pinning any hopes on levelling up money with a recession around the corner and the two prospective PMs not exactly being on the front rank of heavyweight politicians.

Bradford South is a Labour marginal so could be a chance that the new PM might want to pump some money in if they think it would buy a few votes. Can see them more likely to put it into Tory marginals like Keighley.

Nice to see a new artists impression of Odsal, it's been a few years since we had one.

I’m sure this is just seed money they’re applying for. The rfl still seem really keen for a national stadium - how much infrastructure money did they get for the World Cup? £12m? Council are pushing for this to be a community asset to help with childhood activity & health so that should draw some public health funds. Do the FA have infrastructure money that City could use if the council are really offering City a slot in the multi sport stadium?

I can't see City ever moving from Valley Parade, there's too many memories for that to happen.
