Bulls chairman Peter Hood has opened the door for Bradford City to move to Odsal.

Hood admitted he would welcome talks with the Bantams board if they decided to move away from Valley Parade.

City are faced with an annual bill of around £1.25million for their current home and joint-chairman Mark Lawn recently hinted they could be forced to explore alternative options.

Hood said: “I’m happy to confirm that if Bradford City wish to explore the feasibility of relocating to Odsal Stadium, we would be more than happy to entertain talks and do whatever we can to ensure City not only survive but are better placed to challenge for promotion going forward.

“With a large and diverse population in the Bradford area, the people deserve to be represented by successful professional clubs in both sports.”

Meanwhile, Hood confirmed the Bulls are currently involved in talks with overseas stars Heath L’Estrange and Brett Kearney over potential new deals.
