Re: Keighley goes global

Congratulations to Chris Firth on the cluster statistics. Just shows that Keighlians and their supporters are scattered all over the planet. A very interesting addition to the website. My question, and I may have missed something, there seems to be no statistics for Keighley itself.

That brought out a chuckle from me Alec. I left Keighley in 1954 as a 17 year old and never regretted it. As I get on a bit I do get a bit nostalgic and I enjoy my visits home. Always pleased to fly back into Auckland though.Cheers.

Re: Keighley goes global

I suppose we all "suffer" from nostalgia on occasion, Bill,but it is wanting to return to a time rather than a place and it can be disappointing.

P.S. Another thing I've noticed - the older you get, the better it was!

Just like our sports ability. The older I get, the better I used to be!
