Yorkshire Backwards, were total criminals. QANGO

English people are too unempowered to do anything relying on fucking council n think sending them loads of mail and petitions is gonna do shit.

Get real have a proper plan, the local people make things happen no one else.

MY PROPOSAL; start a organisation made by and for the people of Bradford, raise money from people all people over bradford and then buy the damn building back....everyone roll up the sleeves and get to work on restoring and then turn it into a music venue called the Brad Pi

I find it disgusting that although people are campaining to keep this building and are genuinely passionate about it , the council and yorkshire forward continue to completely disregard the publics views. I expect the same thing happened in the sixties when they pulled down all the lovely stone buildings to make way for those awful prefab buildings.

[astramk3vanman]

ill give them all the carpet they need lol coz its damp every were but none of the structure is damaged coz its a strong building

[RachelCupcakeCarole]

errrrr who would want to go in an abondend cinema

and wet

seriously yorkshire council needs to pull their socks and get to work with this OR THEY'LL WILL BE TROUBLE >:(

[damo0666]

the buildings like that all wet and damp because someones probably nicked all the copper pipping and not turned the water off damn thives

Another great film - Question - Who cut the pipes?

Challenge all statements - misinformation is rife. There is an endemic culture of dishonesty in Bradford. Time to sweep them all out and start again.

[liljohnnywalker08]

i am appaled at the damage therefore i am making a new website to get down as many peoples names and comments as possible about the state the odeon is in and together with your helpTHE ODEON WILL BE OPENED ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!! i will post the website soon

surely it would be really cheap just to repair those pipes? The owners know about it and they could easily fix it. If this building was in Doncaster it would already have been knocked down - planning permission to demolish the Gaumont just a year after it closed.

[scottbarden]

the building needs to be saved and made functional again as a concert hall and cinema - this will help to save the city

[spacefan1962]

So Maud and the BCR are going. Given the boot by Bradford City Council. HOORAY! Wait a minute, is this the same council that has seen some grimy old buildings in the city centre fall into disrepair, eventually to be demolished or simply to fall down? Look around Thornton Road/West End, Great Horton, Manchester Road, Leeds Road etc etc

[OdeonCrusader]

Not only have the numpties in the Planning Offices in Jacobs Well fessed up to losing/misplacing objections to the demolition plans of the dastardly Yorkshire Forward, it is apparent that our hapless Bradford Council have done f##k all about these cut pipes!!!

[AnimalMagic1]

I go past this building practically every day .. and it upsets me .. seeing what they are doing to it!!

I have many special memories of that place .. stretching back over 30 years ..

I met Freddie Garrity there .. way back in the 60's .. i think i was about 6 yrs old :) ..

In the early 70's .. as a young teenager .. i used to sneak around the back .. and i would be let in via the fire exit :) ( How many more people did that? :) ) ..

This building holds so many memories ..

Most of it is superficial and repairable.

It will be replaced with something we don't need, there are several half empty hotels in Bradford, why do we need another?

Give the people of Bradford what they want, and we want it saving.

bradford council r silly they dont satisfy the ppl of bradford they just build crap we dont want crap in bradford theres already enough crappy buildings in bradford we dont need any more and its a shame shame bcr and yf seem to think they can use propagsnda tricks they think they'll get away with it if you can get a copy of the autumn odeon newsletter it makes some very good points i'm sure if you contact borg they'll send you one maybe campaigns outside the building should be held more often

Yorkshire Forward should be ashamed. They are acting in a totally irresponsible way and are trying to con the people of Bradford with their attempts to make the Odeon appear as unattractive as possible. This beautiful buidling that the people of Bradford love has been neglected by Yorkshire Forward in an attempt to gratify it's demolition. It disgusts me to the core!

[manniemain]

Its a well known PR technique that if you want to get rid of a building you make it look as unattractive as possible in order to get public support for your ideas. This was frequently done with railway branchlines back in the 60s.

Has anyone asked why the pipes are cut? Did they just wear out? Did someone carrying a scythe accidentally bump into them? Were they nibbled by big mice?

Or ---- did someone know precisely what cutting those pipes would do???

Excellent Video..
