Yes they didnt want to leave ,but now the Birds are in the great Lincoln field they love it all they need is a coach and a team.The citizens bank park is new but the atmosphere is incredible ,but they are the Warrington of mlb

What works for one may not work for another though. I would loathe Leeds to move away from Headingley, but the time may come when it makes more sense to move away than accept mediocre the concessions.

How long is it going to take to bring Headingley up to scratch?I cant see the ginnel end ever going to get done either.Its ok saying buy the houses etc even if they did after the struggle to get planning permission they will never get it for a stand so close to that Street.so if we stay at Headingley that end will always be open imo

Supporters in general are slow to accept change but soon get used to it. Yankee Stadium was demolished and a better facility built over the road. That's the way of the world.

Would agree with all of the above

Sometimes it's better and more cost efficient to flatten everything and start again or move to a different location completely. That seems to be the case with Odsal too although the chances of anything positive being done there seem minuscule.

Problem with Odsal is they dont own the place to start with ,and the council cant even get investers to develop the city centre

There are too many problems regarding Odsal to write about. The same applies to the City itself and the Council.

I mentioned upthread that you can't really make the comparison with new urban baseball parks, because 1) They have 81+ games a season with which to fill the coffers, and 2) Civic Councils can be shoehorned into funding on the prospect that they'll have a future income stream from increased local sales tax for hotels/shops/restaurants. Neither of those conditions are present in UK RL, and any development would have to involve somebody willing to write off a hell of a lot of money.



On another note, I went to the Vet often in the early 90's. It did have an Odsal vibe about it. There was also something Bradfordian about the post-match journey changing onto the 15th St. trolley.

The end is near for Andy Reid I reckon. With all the money that has been invested in that team they need a return. Sean McDermott sorely missed IMO. Reid is losing the players. A loss against against the Giants and that could be it.

The Gold Coast Titans Stadium looks excellent. Capacity in excess of 27,000 enclosed would create a great atmosphere. Need something along a similar design.

How can a fat bloke like Andy Reid coach professional nfl players and tell them how to keep in shape?I heard someone say the other day"its like having a fat doctor who the refers you to a fat dieticion"
