Tbh a move to be dewsbury would be a bridge too far for me and I wouldn’t be attending games anymore. Probably same for park avenue. Both say we’re settling for being a championship club long term. Much as I hate vp at least it’s SL capable. Think charmers is doing city trick of threatening to leave get a rent reduction but not sure it will work as land value is worth far more than our rent and think both council and reflect would both be quite happy if we vacated.
TBH a move out of the city would be a very dangerous thing to do unless there was an absolute cast iron guarantee it was temporary and even then we've seen that go wrong before (2002).
As for Horsfall if it could have its capacity increased to something in the region of 8k with some proper plan to increase longer term to 15k then that would be ok with me. Fact is we are a Championship side and it will take a few years before we're consistently challenging for promotion. Sustainability is key.
VP is a ready made SL standard ground but I can see it costing a lot in rent, something we already have a problem with at Odsal. It's also very unpopular with a proportion of Bulls fans and away fans hated it last time around.
