He might be rather ambitious but he is doing what he should do at this time of year - promote the club, sell season tickets, shirts and merchandise for xmas.

We all know how tough this season is going to be but at least we should have a fair crack of the whip this year.

As mentioned previously Keighley has a chance to get away from clutches of bradford council long overdue in my opinion, question I ask is why during his tenure as leader of Bradford council Kris Hopkins was instrumental in keeping Keighley at bottom of the pile regarding assistance from them.

By this I do not just mean the cougars but the town in general.

I can appreciate folks concern about Keighley Town council, however to a point they have and will continue to have options limited by Bradford.

I hope in time there is a breakaway and quite simply Keighley is Keighley and not Bradford and we should have freedom to make the choice.

I think it'd be easier to hold Keighley councillors to account at the ballot box if we break away.

In Br*dford Council they are only a insignificant part of the council chamber, irrespective of who we vote in they will always be outnumbered by those supporting the City of Br*dford's agenda.

There is no moral fibre in the town council.

One of them is a convicted thief. Have you seen any calls for his resignation from the other members of the town council.
They are happy to sit along side and work with him.

How the hell can they be more accountable??????????????

You haven't quite grasped what I was on about.

I meant that whilst under the umberella of Br*dford they can always use the excuse that they fought hard for Keighley but were outgunned by non Keighley counterparts. I've heard this old chestnut a lot.

In a full Keighley council they will have nowhere to hide.

As for the Mick Westerman issue, sadly it looks like it'll be down to the good folk of Keighley to take his Council seat from him. I have heard calls for him to resign, I think we should take a long, hard look at those haven't as well and hold them to account at the same ballot box.

Yes they will. That will be behind each other. All they will do is blame each other.

Despite all the crap you get from Bradford Council I find Keighley a great place for shopping or a night out (provided you choose your pubs carefully). You can't beat great independent shops like Willis Walker, Speakes, Fletchers or Pennine Plus. There's nothing like them in Bradford. There's some good places to eat like Thai on Aire and a few decent curry houses. Then there's decent pubs like the Cricks, Bolts, Pig & Brown Cow.

There are probs, but things could be much worse.



Sure there are issues, and every small town in the north has them.
