What happened to Bradford?

Recommended Posts

Looking at past tables I saw Bradford run the league in 1997 and then folded. Why?

 

Lack of support vs high running costs.

Wasn't it also because Odsal was going to be refurbished into a "super stadium" and it was either delayed/put off for years and the Ham brothers subsequently lost interest.

If it was at Odsal I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls making it big in Super League was a contribution

they were forced out of Odsal and doubt they ever will return. Shame Alan Ham was one of the best promoters I have come across.

 

Bulls do not want them at Odsal and in future years the track will disappear as they move the stands closer to the pitch.

I assume the proposed "superdome" development never came to anything? Such a shame - a track I never got too which I would have loved to have done.

You'll hate another one before long as well.  Another track could be under threat from Rugby.

 

You going to name names fireblade?

How many speedway clubs race at rugby grounds, I only know Workington and Hull

 

Go west young man - to where every season seems to be 'the last'.
