It has to be said it was a better turnout than any that I've been to before.

I think it's great that we have a board and coach that are so willing to engage with the fans. They're willing to listen, they implement some of our ideas. How many other clubs have that?

I know it's not easy for everyone (I myself didn't get home until 10:20 after the meeting and had to be up less than 4 1/2 hours later to get in to work) but I doubt it was 5% of all fans that turned up last night.

I'm not saying that 95% of Keighley fans can't be bothered to make the effort, people work, have parental responsibilities etc, but surely some of them can at least show they care about the club and turn up? It seemed to an awful lot of the same familiar faces turned up on Tuesday, we need more folk there, with new ideas to help make the club even better.

Hey you, it's all your fault for blabbing.

We could have been loyal guardians of "the secret", formed our own sect with mysterious handshakes and everything. This was our big chance and you've blown it!

Rach and Goosey are really mad, they say they will take it in turns to spank you're legs untill you jolly well say sorry

You mentioned it before I did!

But seeing as though it's out I think Jonathan Thurston will do a decent job for us but he'll have a big job filling Danny's boots.

Maybe I'm in to that sort of thing.

Now, now, stop wriggling. I only mentioned that "we also appear to have an experienced halfback lined up" - you blabbed that you knew who but could not tell.

If rumours regards the Aussies off field antics are true, I'd be worried about what he might fill Danny's boots with.

I wish that I'd never asked!

Dreamer, I wasn't taking the micky, I thought you were having a pop at fans that didn't turn up at the Q&A. Reading back, I probably got that wrong - my apologies!!!

Re: 2011 Squad : Sun Oct 17, 2010 7:53 am  

I iwll have a pop at the fans that didnt go to the meeting, then moan

Re: 2011 Squad : Mon Oct 18, 2010 10:34 am  

Now Goosey's having a go...
I couldn't go to the meeting due to work, but I'm happy to help try and raise the profile of the club by giving a bit of my spare time up for postering or whatever.
I wasn't having a moan, I said I'm sure Barry knows his job.
I also realise that supporters have many other things in their lives which also take up their spare time and money, and not everyone can devote the same amount of time, cash, and energy to the Cougar cause as some. I don't think that makes them less of a supporter, though. We're all entitled to an opinion!

Why should anyone, have to explain why they couldn't go to the meeting.
Its up to people if they go or not.

It is going to be very interesting seeing how big or small the crowd is going to be this season.
