Stadium

The match takes place at Odsal Stadium, which is one of the worst stadiums in professional sport and has been a huge problem for the club for far too long.

The maintenance costs of the ground are incredibly high impacting on the club’s financial stability and the depressing nature of it impacts on crowds.

Odsal is one of the most recognisable stadiums in the UK as it is built into a former quarry that was also a landfill which means fans enter the ground at the top of the stands and climb down towards the pitch.

The stadium is now made up of a large terrace that wraps around one side of the stadium, around one corner and then down one end of the pitch.

The other side is an all-seater stand that is also the only stand to have any cover from the element whilst the final end of the stadium is a corporate hospitality stand that features boxes and a restaurant raised into the air.

It’s a good job that the hospitality is raised as there is a large oval space between the stands at the pitch, that has been used for stock car racing in the past, and that has also ed to the pitch been far below the minimum required and even the laughable situation where the corners of the pitch were raised.

Location

Bradford is found in the county of West Yorkshire and almost centrally along the M62 motorway, which is thought of as the main corridor of the sport’s traditional northern heartland.

The area in and around Bradford is a hotbed of the sport with Leeds to the east of the city, Halifax to the west whereas Keighley is to the north and Huddersfield to the south.

It is only around a 30 minute, or 14 mile, drive from Huddersfield’s home ground to Bradfords which just highlights the local derby element of this match.
