Odsal became a reality today as the Bulls announced the first season ticket prices for the return to their spiritual home.

And veteran Jimmy Lowes rushed to add his booming voice to the chorus of Bulls fans singing the praises of the old stadium.

"It is a real boost to everyone that we are going back there," said the outspoken hooker.

"It means everything to the fans that we are returning to Odsal, and it means a lot to the players as well."

The Bulls will be keen to put the disappointingly low attendances of Valley Parade behind them as they return to the family atmosphere at their old hunting ground.

The bouncy castles will be back as the world champions put the emphasis on family values for their homecoming next season.

A season ticket for an adult and two juniors will cost £220 and will be available from the end of the month.

Only 5,000 seats will be in place in the 26,000 capacity stadium with a large portion reserved for those families keen to sit down on match days.

Priority will also be given for those who retained their season tickets during the temporary ground-share arrangement with Bradford City.

Further prices and details will be announced shortly by the club who are still finishing off discussions with the council over minor issues.

"When I used to visit Odsal as a Leeds player we used to fear it," added Lowes.

"And as Bradford players we enjoyed the intimidation factor. It is the natural and spiritual home of the club and we are looking forward to playing there next season.

"The only times we go to Valley Parade is to play games, it is Bradford City's home and like an away game for us.

"We train at Odsal, it is the club's home. I have always said we should have stayed but that couldn't happen for a variety of reasons.

"I can't wait to get back there, it is where we belong."

l The Bulls have signed Paul Clarke and Richard Johnson following impressive trials by the two in their junior academy side.

Clarke, a winger, has signed from Drighlington ARLFC and Johnson, a centre who has represented Lancashire at Academy level this season, was formerly with Saddleworth Rangers in Oldham.

Bulls chief scout Eric Hawley said: "We have been very impressed with how they have adapted to the professional environment and the way they have performed with our Academy side."
