Born in Haworth, now in Huddersfield, but work shifts in a call centre, so work every other Sunday anyway. Plus, being a non driver, its hard to get there anytime, and evening games are definitely out for getting home. So most of my support nowadays is via the internet, principally through here

Oakworth, seems to be a hotbed, perhaps we could start a supporters club?

I agree with view from the fullback maybe it might be worth trying to arrange a meeting amongst a few of us that fancy trying to sort out a supporters group, I hate to keep saying this but during my time at the club I had the pleasure of meeting some of the people that worked extremely hard in the 90s running the very successful supporters club. They managed to raise huge amounts of money and the stories were fantastic. When I was at the club some of us did discuss trying to build something like what was before but unfortunately I wasn't there long.

My only concern and please this isn't a dig but I honestly can't see us getting the support from the directors as the fans did in the past but you never know I could be wrong.

What's the thoughts on this, why don't we try and get a few names together and meet up and then see if it really could work after throwing a few ideas about before we commit to anything

I hope you can get something sorted,but remember KISA,we were shot down in flames and branded trouble makers many of us were driven from the club and some never returned,Am not sure how the current board will react,but we were amongst other things threatened with legal action over the use of the Cougar brand running a guess the score the list goes on,I still wear the KISA badge with pride,
I think but I am not sure there is a few of the original members on here,just to show the interest we had, at the first meeting at The Vic we managed 100 names or more,the club at the time was well and truly on the way down so maybe you could be on to something.
But my advice is talk to the club first to see if they have a problem with it,and most importantly YOU MUST BE INDEPENDENT FROM THE CLUB.

Born in St.John's hospital, Fell Lane, Keighley, 1969. Grew up in Riddlesden. Lived in the North East for quite some time now. Currently live in Houghton-le-Spring between Durham and Sunderland. My 8-year-old son Tom, born in Sunderland, is also a Cougars fan and we get to as many games as we possibly can which is not easy as I have to work some Sundays. Although I live up here, Keighley will always be my home.

Born in Belfast in 1980, moved to Bradford in 1989 (God knows why!)
Moved several times due to Dad changing jobs and ended up in Bingley then Keighley in 1992/1993
I moved back to Belfast in 2005 to live with my Gran but visit my dad regularly and ensure i drop by the games whenever i can, normally get to 5 or 6 games a year.
