It is a great deal of money that Bradford Council is spending when they say they can't afford a very small sum for the Cougars Community work.

Our club should have been made aware of this long ago, not waited until now.

If the two major sports teams in Bradford had their funds cut, then we should have been made aware that we were next on the list.

Very poor from a useless council again.

Referendum on Keighley breakaway NOW.

When you look at it in terms of the what the council are looking to save it's small, but agreed that in real terms it's a large amount. Furthermore, to the Cougars it's no doubt substantial.

Jim, you're making me think you don't believe the Cougars should get the money?!

If the bulls and city are not getting it. Neither should we. It has to be fair or not at all.
When the country is skint, hard choices have to be made. Some people are going to be unhappy about it.

Maybe you can answer my question, [iIf Keighley get it, then you have to give it to the bulls and city.
That would make it 60k.

Now if these clubs get it. That amount has to be cut from other services.

Please tell me which ones you would like to see cut. Also tell me which services you would be happy to see people laid off?[/i

I agree with the £60K aspect and have stated so on the other thread. This is a grant, not a service and the council provide both grants and services. Maybe some people feel that grants should be better considered and prioritised given the current situation. I'm not sure the old police station would be such a priority and will put the town council in debt for many a year, however, this has been agreed and work ongoing. If city and the dulls don't get it and the Cougars have had the appropriate notice I would tend to agree that it shouldn't have been put in the Cougars financial plans. However, what if the respective notice wasn't given? If the latter was the case I can tend to understand the frustration.
