UPDATE ON ODSAL LEASE

The Board of Bradford Bulls, after very careful consideration, have submitted an offer to reacquire the leasehold interest in Odsal. We understand that the club’s offer to secure our home at Odsal Stadium will be discussed at the RFL Council on 24 July 2024. 

We are advised that the RFL Board will present our offer as the preferred bid to the members and they will listen to their views before finalising their decision. 

CEO Jason Hirst said “It is well documented that the running costs of Odsal are very, very substantial so once the RFL decided to sell the lease we had to think hard about whether we could afford to take it on. The club’s board concluded that Odsal was our spiritual home and we should do all we can to bring the stadium back into the ownership of the club, to protect rugby league in the city.”
