Stadium

The match takes place at Odsal Stadium, an historic ground that still holds the record crowd for a match to take place in England, but it is a ground that in the modern era is far below what is expected from fans.

The run-down ground welcomes fans from the top of the stands, who then walk down to where they will stand or sit as it is built into a former quarry, and perhaps fittingly is built on top of a tip.

Nowadays, the stadium is built up of a large terrace, that is open to the elements, and that runs down one length of the field, around the corner, behind one set of sticks and around the next corner.

The other side of the field houses a large bank of general access seating, which is covered, but all of those places to watch the action need you to have great eyesight as there is a stock car track between the pitch and the stands keeping everybody far from the action.

The final end of the ground is home to a raised hospitality box, which h does offer decent views but is still far from the action.

The large distances between the fans and the players, coupled with most of the ground been open air and it is perhaps not too surprising that there is often a lack of atmosphere at Odsal.

Location

The match takes place in the Odsal district of the city of Bradford, which is one of the largest cities in the county of West Yorkshire.

Bradford is located centrally across the M62 motorway, which is often thought of as the corridor connected the northern heartlands of the sport and is deep in a hotbed of the sport.

Bradford borders Halifax, Keighley, Halifax, Leeds, Wakefield and Huddersfield- all home to professional Rugby League sides and some of the strongest amateur teams in the league.
