Glad to be of some assistance

Seriously thoguh, for a town the size of Keighley not to have a "proper" pool is ridiculous.

I take my kids to Skipton, where the facilities are a million times better.

I'd say the same about Bradford! That doesn't have a proper pool either.

That said, neither did Leeds for long enough.

The OSV plans I saw included a pool to competition dimensions. I can't believe this has been written out of the plan. What does it include now? A pool table?

If the choice was between the club going under and getting off their booty to ORGANISE a petition then the fans of Bradford would rather watch us go out of business.

OK. I have created an account on an online petition site and am happy to set up/administer the petition.

In order to get this right first time I would like some input/help in to wording the petition.

The petition site that I have chosen requires population of two main fields:


Petition History/Description
I would expect that this would include information on the various failed schemes, the state and upkeep of the current stadium, and the shortage of quality community sporting facilities in the city.


Petition
This is the statement that we would be asking people to agree to and so would have to be well thought out.

What do people think should be included?
Would one of the more articulate members be willing to propose a first draft for consideration?

Have you considered using facebook to raise awareness of the petition. I'm fairly certain there are more than a few bulls fans who may not frequent this board but may use facebook. plus you've a chance to reach a much broader number of people and increase the number of signatures recieved.

It is amazing how signing a petition makes you feel that you are actually a Castleford supporter.
