Club given special dispensation for inadequate pitch

There have been complaints this season regarding the size of Bradford’s pitch.

Within the RFL’s rules, it is recorded that pitches need to be over 55 metres wide and 92 metres long, but Bradford’s stadium Odsal, is now only 51 metres wide.

That has led to complaints from a number of visiting teams, but it appears as though the RFL have granted Bradford dispensation until the end of the season as no contractors are available to rectify the problem as it stands.

If you missed the @TheFull80Mins on @ProperSport this evening, the RFL have confirmed that the Odsal Stadium pitch has been granted dispensation until the end of the season, due to no contractor being available to rectify the required groundworks to enable a full size pitch. pic.twitter.com/BIf2x4394W
