As a good burgher (think thats how you spell it...of Bingley Rural, the only things I want the council to spend money on are my road, my road to work and on to Odsal (which should be upgraded to motorway immediately), my bins emptied (twice a day), the OSV which should provide free hospitality boxes at public expense to every resident of Bingley Rural and a very superior grade old folks home FOC for when I need it.

I don't have any kids so every school should be shut and the kids sent to work in the mills (or in Tigertot Towers if badly behaved).

I use Google so all the libraries should be shut and turned into workhouses for the poor since all their benefits will be stopped.

No road maintenance will be carried out unless its a road I'm likely to use, in which case I want double yellows all along both sides.

Keighley should be cut adrfit and left to fend for itself completely. Not penny of public money to go near the place. Indeed, levy a special local tax so they all have to emigrate to Halifax.

Ilkley should be redistributed and the nicest houses dished out to the residents of my road. ALl the rest would be regraded as new band Z for council tax, and air would be charged for by the litre.

Most of Bradford other than where Bulls fans live should be given to Leeds and made their problem.

All the swimming pools should be shut and the savings spent on a luxury pool in the field behind my house.

Well that was little more than an extreme version of what some of our friends from Keighley are suggesting?

Fascist!

Liberal

How dare you insult me in such a disgraceful way, sir!

I say you are a foul cad sir, and my seconds will wait upon you presently.

Adey I hear on the grapevine your wish for library closures will come partly true, with several around the BM district being closed

I have heard from a reliable source within the Council that the development plans for the OSV will be publicly aired in October.
Just for the pendantic October 2008

You appear to have omitted the year.

2067?

Is there any reason or justification for these delays?

And come October, they will be published in April 2009, and come April 2009, it will be October 2009........etc etc

The council don't want to pay up for it but don't want the bad press of another scheme going down the toilet so they prevaricate ad infinitum?

Yes, it's not going to happen and are hoping something will come along between now and then that will help them bury the bad news.

Or perhaps that bloke from Bradford College is waiting for his new typewriter to be delivered.

Now where have we heard this before! www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1042

Interesting article www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/st ... -20931472/ Shame Peter Hood can't do the same but is a different scenario.

Given the travails of Bulls, Fax and Halifax Town, how about a 'Shelf Siro'? Halfway line on the Bradford-Halifax border.

no thanx plus would you put up with having RAB coloured seats?

RAB on the Bradford half, BW on the Fax end.

no thankx

It would be amazing. Make it so, Calderdale/Bradford Council.

So childish,it sounds like a wind- up.Can't believe a major corperate would act like this, despite previous.If serious their legal and PR teams,local or from HO,need sacking.Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Has like any pictures or blueprints or architect drawings been released for OSV. I cant say I'm up to date with this.

I obtained some DVDs & other material from the Council under Freedom of Information. Sadly, I lent them to someone at a BISA meeting, and as BISA are no more, I'm unlikely to get them back. You could try the same approach if you were minded.

Oh I cant be bothered with that, lol.

Did it look good, was it a whole new stadium or just modifications to Odsal?

basically entirely new popular side with a roof and a sports behind. also a seating area above terraces.
