I really hope you get a good attendance for this.

Unfortunately, the Challenge Cup, does not seem to be as well supported as it used to be especially in the early rounds.

When we played Bradford last year at The Shay we hoped for a near capacity crowd. We got 5,045 and that's when we are about 7 miles apart and the Bulls ST (which is virtually everyone)holders all got in for nowt! (which isn't the case this year)

Could not agree with you more avebullswon,I am sick and tired of people knocking Gary Fawcett,he is just 1 guy in a team of people who are trying to build the Cougars back up,many of them unpaid volunteers who give up there time for the love of the club,have a close look round the ground,slowly the years of neglect are being put right it wont happen over night but it is happening.On the pitch we have what looks like the best team since the 90s,and as for the coach don't think I need to say anything on that.But yet are we happy,No it appears not,come on fans be positive.In a few weeks we are playing a world class side at home in one of the greatest and most famous cup competitions in the world,for me sport doesn't get any better.
PS.I got my ticket today, while there I ran into a guy with a paint brush, sprucing the place up, unpaid volunteer I thought,no,how about paid workmen,no, guess what it was the much hated Mr Fawcett,I even had the nerve to ask him about the infamous "MINTED" quote guess what he never said it not even close.You all should no better the Keighley News is a rag printed and written in Bradford and only fit for land fill.

I don't agree with everything he says, but I'm happier with him in charge tham what went before.

Perhaps he should be supported a little bit more.

Nothing wrong at all with those admission charges for the Warrington game.

To be fair that's how it came across when I read the story and not just the headline.

Just reaffirmed why I don't buy the Keighley News, it is a terrible paper.

The Keighley Cougars is a Rugby league team AND a business , It has to make money to survive , Fact.
The prices for the Warrington game may seem high but when you think about it the Keighley Cougars Have to make as much money as possible from this game , If it is putting the club in a better financial position then so be it.
It is a one off price for a very special game and at the end of the day either pay it or don't , no-one is being forced to attend. Personally I think the prices are reasonable for the calibre of the players we will see playing that day.

Most important of all though....... stop bl**dy moaning and get yersens down for the most important game for a long while !!!

COUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGARS

my previous post was a little moan but i was just clearly helping fans that are thinking of buying tickets for the stand, which nobody has mentioned. all i am saying is how can you sell something you can't deliver on, its ok saying this guy is trying to promote the club, he is doing all this good work for NOTHING and he is trying to come up with good ideas.

now surely if you have a vip bar that only holds im guessing 70ish people and a stand that holds 400-600 folk then how can you promise these people a ticket that includes the vip bar. after what seems another great idea by the club is just going to be another farse and one that could potentional cause an horrific accident when fans are trying to get into a bar that is packed and not forgetting the small staircase to it.

we will only have a bad name after the game as i am sure away fans and even our fans will feel ripped off once again when they can't get to the vip bar and as the chairman states rub shoulders with the stars.

this cant do us any good

By eck, Old Boy, your glass really is half empty isn't it! One of the finest RL teams in the world is coming to Cougar Park in less than two weeks' time and it's all doom and gloom. It's going to be a great day! As regards pricing, with the exception perhaps of having to pay £20 to get a child into the stand, I think it's a bargain. £15 to get into the ground when a normal league game is £14; what's to moan about? An extra £1? I'll be there 'with bells on', nowt's going to keep me away. I'm convinced the Warrington fans will go back to Lancashire (yes, Lancashire is their proper county not Cheshire!) with a great impression of our club, just like they did last time they were over and got a right game!

Can I suggest everyone takes a look at old boy cougar other posts,its seems to be clear to me and several other people on this forum he has a LARGE axe to grind with Gary Fawcett,maybe he may want to come clean and tell us all exactly what his problem is or even better try having a word with Gary Fawcett face to face on how best to run the club you seem to know how you think it should be run,but hey old boy cougar your just an ordinary fan like the rest of us,are'nt you ??????
