I agree that the club should extend the discounted season ticket price in view of the delay in an outcome to this situation, providing that the outcome is a positive one AND announced soon AND the fans are not too miffed at the lack of information recently then the club may just see a sharp rise in interest for the tickets, the one thing for certain is that the longer this goes on, the more miffed people will become, the club may also find that the fans that joined us last season will be the first to turn their backs on the club therefore undoing the hard work done in the community that got them to Cougar Park in the first place

We need a statement from the club, be it good, bad or just to let us know that the situation remains the same but ...........

The club need to think 'damage limitation'

It's not just that Al.

They need to do it to end the speculation.

A lot has leaked out since last week (Keighley Cougars 2010 LTD, 3 new directors) and people are starting to fill in the blanks themselves.

For the sake of Players, Employees, Sponsors, Creditors and Fans we need to know the truth so we can all start to move on.

Having spent the 2009 season structuring the club commercially to generate sufficient revenues to fund a successful 2010 campaign in the Co-operative Championship and pay off a long-term legacy tax debt, the tax authorities have, unfortunately, refused a payment plan we proposed to them last week and have started winding up proceedings at the club. However don’t be alarmed about this, things are in motion to solve the situation to make the club ever stronger and we are actively working with the RFL to bring the situation to a successful and quick conclusion.


Come on fellas. Many are frustrated. If things need sorting you have to give them a chance. Keep the faith. I bet the club would love nothing more than to tell the full story, they have things to be done first.


Do we or do we not consider ourselves "Supporters"

The club could appreciate “Support” at a time like this.

If you want to wait a bit longer to buy your season ticket, well ok I see your point but I don’t think it is being too supportive to demand our thirst for information goes before
Ensuring the best interests of the club are addressed first.

Send messages and ask questions, as PM or emails but I don’t feel we are “supporting” the players by airing our dirty washing online.

It's a really good point Micky but I don't think we're asking too much for a short progress report clarifing various things.

It's basic human nature for people to worry about things even when they're told not to worry about them.

The only reason the vast majority of people are posting on here is because they care about the club.

I can only say that every player, coach member of staff and director at the club has my 100% backing and I know they will all try their upmost to keep this club going.

To a certain extent I know what they're going through. As other posters on here will know I came extremely close to losing my job back in March (it was down to me and someone else going) and with my firm working short time I had to leave my home and move back in with my parents.

Believe me, every one of them have my upmost sympathy and support because what they're going through is terrible.
