I wasn't trying to criticise at all, but I feel that when the people of Keighley have the choice of £14 to watch a semi-professional team in the second tier or about £17 to watch Bradford or Leeds for example, they are always going to watch the better teams.

£14 might be the cheapest offer in our league, but I still feel it's quite high. I've mentioned to people before about going to watch our team Keighley and they're surprised that it is £11 to get in and feel a bit put off by that and I don't feel we'll get just as many new comers at this higher price.

Thats not quite true Connor:

Bulls admission = £18 to £25

Leeds = £20 to £28

At £11 our admission was amazing value for money

At £14 I can see why people might have second thoughts but if we want to watch a team that can compete we have got to make some tough decisions.

The season ticket deal (whilst not being the most competetive in our division) offers great value for money. You can afford to miss a couple of matches and still be in pocket over last years "on the gate" prices.

Are Sheffield playing at Brammall Lane this season then?

Indeed they are.

I think it holds around 35,000 so that'll mean we get about 50 seats a piece when we go down.

I'm a new fan really, I thought eleven quid was cheap and I don't think fourteen quid is too much - although I'll be getting a season ticket this year, purely so I can contribute more of my weekly spends to the cougar fighting fund in the bar, of course.
Win win for me, win win for the cougars!

...one other thing: do the season tickets this year include any cup games?

Given a choice between Sooper dooper league or Championship for the same cash then there is no contest.

Championship simply because it's better, more open and played by people who probably love the game more than the cash.

Next years SOOOPERDOOOPER grand final

Leeds v Saints AGAIN!!!!

Championship, havn't a clue yet.

Championship one will again be 1 team taking all the kudos and the rest playing for the the GF but that will be interesting.

The reason why the Championship/1 is more fun?

They have something to play for.

Sooperdooper league has about 4 teams with something to play for and the rest nowhere IMO
