I thought it was the RFL not Bradford Council that took on the lease and sub let to us.

Apologies. I think you might be right-I was probably thinking about what Bfd Council has done for Bfd Bulls!

For the stadium development we are building a page on the website to keep people updated so it should be available next week.

Who Will be on the 'steering Commitee ' ? And if appropriate would the club permit
a supporter on said Commitee ?

Gary has added an agenda item for the next Steering Committee to discuss inclusion into the Steering Committee of an RL Forum representative? Also, we're working on the website page which will show who's on the Steering Committee.

Good work indeed , I think it would be good to have a Cougars forum representative on the Steering Committee
if appropriate , would be a good stepping stone to post info from meetings etc ,

I do not know what criteria etc would be required for said person or what process if any would need to be gone through
but I am available , if needed , to attend steering committee meetings etc on behalf of the Cougars forum.

To be honest, I'm not sure about this.

Firstly I'm not sure how many Keighley fans use this forum so we don't know how representative of fans view's this is. However judging by the "viewed" column next to posts on the home page it's a couple of hundred. Since I don't know how this number is generated I don't know for sure - perhaps Guess Who could tell us.

Secondly, committees can be complex animals and just picking someone who's prepared to volunteer isn't always the best course of action (no disrespect intended).

Having the "right" fan on the committee is a good idea and in my eyes would have to be someone who can embrace change and compromise, but who is firm enough to stand up for the wellbeing of the fans. The last thing that's needed is a "patsy" from the Directors.

You are correct , I am merely offering now should no one else step forward and as I said in an
earlier post , if appropriate.
It would be no problem should someo.e else step forward , Just offering my services as
I have a lot of time on my hands.

won't need that capacity where we are going put some money into burgess field, buy a few deck chairs

Not really sure how knowing how many people view the site would help. A lot of the visits are not from Keighley fans.

Yes, I realise that.

This site, like most free sites will sell space to advertisers and will need some form of evidence of number of "hits" and possibly some demographic info. What I'm not sure of is if this info breaks the hits down into town or area.

Or is it just that we have the same 20 fans using the site on a frequent basis.

Probably the latter

The cleared site off East Parade Coney Lane is now plenty big enough for a new town centre community stadium - main stand with all the facilities & other 3 sides just basic terracing for Keighley Cougars and other one off entertainment/sporting events Tesco, co-op etc could have a convenience size store on the same site.. Current Cougar Park would then just need the old stand demolishing and replaced with basic modern changing rooms, gym and it could be the Lawkholme training centre for Cougars training base and under 20s and Keighley ARLFC 1st team matches.

Never going to happen.
A consortium has been buying buildings on that site for years. They already have planning permission for 22 retail outlets and a 13 screen cinema.

NICE...
