I too like friday/saturday night games apart from on the rare occasion we get a lovely sunny sunday afternoon at Cougar Park when there's nothing like a nice cold lager watching a game of rugby
The season ticket idea was well worth a try and was a good idea but lets be really honest and look at the club in general. I have been going for a long time and since having my own kiddies I have started taking my lad until recently because he would rather stay at home with his mum and the reason for this is because he is bored, actually his words "Cougars is rubbish". I am not the first fan to experience this as I know of a couple of other families that are experiencing the same the same thing. Lets face it if a new family of 4 entered Cougar Park for the first time what do we offer that will make that family think "bloody hell that was great, cant wait for the next one" In my opinion nothing. The playgroup that used to be on in the classroom and was provided by Piccolo Nursery before a game where kids could go and play on their own under proffessional supervision and do a number of activities was stopped by our Chairman, there is no club shop where a kid might want to get a little gift out of some pocket money, no flags, no balloons, no face painting, no players that aren't in the squad walking around the entrance meeting kids having a chance to get an autograph/picture or even just a chat, no real big build up to a game with a dance team or party like music. I could go on and on about this but the most important thing is the results because everyone likes to be associated with success and no one enjoys watching a losing team week in week out. There is no feel good factor about the club at the minute just a big black cloud hanging over it, I have said this numerous times for me the heart has been ripped out of the cougar brand. We are no longer different to everyone else and we are no longer the club that was loud and full of fun.
Sometimes I even find myself bored stood on the terraces and I feel we have more worrying times ahead with regards to crowds and results
