BRADFORD Bulls have taken inspiration from a lottery scheme to rename its former home after a dedicated club volunteer.
Odsal Stadium, the Bulls’ home ground until September 2019, has been renamed the Toni Hodgett Stadium for today.
Bulls tweeted: “Toni is one of a large number of volunteers who have done so much for the club!”
🤝 | THE @TNLUK have named six iconic sporting grounds after incredible volunteers this week - so we thought we'd do the same!

Bulls took inspiration from a National Lottery initiative in which sporting venues across England and Wales changed their names for a day on Wednesday to honour those who have gone above and beyond during lockdown.
These venues included The Oval cricket ground.
Bulls later tweeted it will rename Odsal after another volunteer tomorrow.
