As regards to was this a ploy to sell more season tickets. If you support the club you should buy a season ticket anyway. Doesn't matter whether we are signing big names or bringing under 20s through. Big names mean big money and big money signings drop clubs in the S**T.
Good on the club for trying to sell more season tickets, they shouldn't be having to try ploys to sell them anyway.
Hmm I don't agree with your points about blind loyalty and being a supporter means laying out money on a season ticket. Being a supporter of a club is a two way street, the supporter pays their money and the rugby club should be providing a product on the field which deserves the support. At the moment people have to make hard choices about where to spend their hard earned cash and a season ticket for Keighley may not be top of most people's priorities. Personally, as a lover of rugby league, I've spent alot of my money recently on getting World Cup game tickets which have been real value for money.... something which Keighley tickets rarely are!!
I don't want big name signings, they don't often turn out well, I just want to see a team with some direction and invention. A bit of fight and creation. A spark. All are things that Keighley have lacked recently.
And on the Richard Moore front, I'm pleased we didn't get him, we would have hardly got any games out of him anyway. Funnily enough, one player that I would've fancied JD has taken to Australia... Tyrone Mcarthy. I wonder if Keighley might have been in with a shout for him if JD was still around?
