Size of the tv gantry gets you extra points with ing on the stadium criteria

Genius

TBf its an important requirement for broadcasting. That is the sort of infrastructure spend clubs werent doing and it was impacting quality and frustration for tv partners.

You were making fun of it without pointing out the reason they are doing it is valid

I was making fun of the bigging up of a screen to sit in a dilapidated stadium.

This spend though will probably take them ahead of Tolouse and Salford for the 12th spot in 2026 unless Toulouse has some extra points they are finding, depending on season ending results of the two clubs.

Bradford back in super league would be a big boost for the league crowd average

They would have amongst the highest away fans in super league.

I remember when rhinos v bulls would get over 20k to odsal

Ralph has been a much better owner than chalmers that’s for sure

Stadium remains one of their biggest issues. It really isnt fit for SL anymore and be interesting to see if the modern day fan is prepared to put up with such sub standard facilities.

CAS and Wakey are rubbish tips

You’re ground is a pass at best

Odsal is fine for super league

The problem is the cost of maintenance which they have shifted onto whoever owns the lease now

Fans prefer odsal to valley parade

Palaces compared to Odsal lol

If they get back to super league they can crack 10k average easy

They either need to finds the funds to pull the stands in and put roofs over them or bite the bullet and move to Valley Parade. Odsal just isnt fit for SL. Not sure if its gone through yet but they were buying the lease back so maybe they have some development plans. Building a new sideline stand to replace the distant terracing would be start.

What a hodgepodge of a stadium valley parade is.

bradford bulls and Bradford city should just sell both the stadium lands and build a completely new stadium somewhere in the city or just outside for both clubs.

Odsal was literally an actual rubbish tip before becoming the home of Bradford northern.

The new Temp East stand seating at Craven Park being built. adds an additional 1000 to the HKR capacity. Already all sold out for the season.

 

[Wb1234]

People in glass houses ……

Its like you dont understand they are doing this for 2 years to gauge ROI on properly extending the East stand.

 

[Perth Red]

What is the total capacity now?

I believe its around 11,700 with the temp east stand. With the option of adding 1000 temp seating to South end like they did end of last year. I expect we will do that again if we have another successful year and get a home game playoff.

When they build a permanent one it will look like hbf park does now

You bagging odsal then talking up caravan park is typical you

You have one decent stand that was funded by govt because part of it gets used for education . The rest of the ground is a knock down job

And you know it’s not fit for super league with the all seater down the road

haha have you been to either recently (or ever?), they are incomparable!

Craven Park is now rated as one of the best game day experiences in SL. Sky sports love covering games there. Its selling out every game. Fans love it. But yeh you be you.
