Bradford Bulls Issue Statement Following Stadium Development Plans Rejection

Bradford Bulls have released a statement to their fans in regard to the recent announcement regarding their Levelling up Bid being rejected.

The statement posted on their website show the Club’s lack of shock regarding the decision, their disappointment, but crucially confirms their commitment to the regeneration project.

It reads in full: “It goes without saying that we are disappointed with the decision, but not entirely surprised. It has certainly not diminished our resolve to provide the club, its supporters, and the city with the appropriate modern facility that they are deserving of.

“This is a setback but categorically not the end of the road. We await formal communication and an explanation from the City of Bradford Metropolitan Council about their proposed next steps in regenerating the South Bradford gateway including the former Richard Dunn Sports Centre and the world famous Odsal Stadium.

“The only real failure is giving up and we are not about to do that.”
