The stadium did not change much until 1996 when homeless Bradford (Park Avenue) moved in and the ground was brought up to standard for football to be played.

Changes were made in 2007 to ensure Horsfall met the stringent ground grading requirements of the Football Association.

This led to the installation of a 3G pitch which paved the way for rugby league side West Bowling and Bradford Bulls’ Academy to use the stadium.

One is a small metal stand of terracing known as the Bus Shelter at the Cemetery End towards the West of the ground within the running track and behind the goalmouth.

By 2008 Avenue announced ambitious plans to build a 20,000 seater stadium at Phoenix Park in Thornbury, with the club aiming to regain their League status.

After the laying of a new 3G pitch in 2020, National Conference League side West Bowling relocated from Raymond Street playing fields off Manchester Road.

As well as West Bowling playing at Horsfall, Bradford Bulls moved all their academy teams there after they temporarily left Odsal in 2020.
