Quote Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza="Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza"I doubt many Rugby League clubs could afford what Flamingo Land man would want for it.
Also does the rent agreement the Bantams are locked into change if they are relegated from the Football League?'"
Dunno to be honest.
However, on the first point, what the owners want isn't necessarily what the owners will get. What is their investment worth without a tenant? I'd guess that even as a building plot it, in Bradford it wouldn't be worth vast amounts of dosh right now, even with any planning permission, which presumably, they haven't got anyway. Again a guess, but in a situation where City could no longer afford to operate from there, I suspect the owners would actually be pretty desperate for someone to come in.
On the second point, if the rental agreement remains in place and City can't afford to pay it, then the owners need to look back at point one, because if they try to enforce it and the club just don't have the cash it can only go one way, which is receivership, and the main point then, for the owners, is that they still won't get their money.
Any item, commodity or service is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it and a sports ground in Bradford is only really of value to a sports club in Bradford. I'd suspect they would settle for a lot less than many might think. Not that I think City are doomed, far from it.
