Best wishes to all associated with Keighley hope everything works out for you, the last thing the RL community needs is to start losing heartland clubs.

Re: Success!! : Thu Dec 10, 2009 6:22 pm  

I don't think we'll be 'lost', but it's a shame that all this has happened the year we won promotion and things were looking rosy, albeit with a tough season ahead.
I'm sure we'll bounce back!

Re: Success!! : Thu Dec 10, 2009 6:39 pm  

Best of luck for the future folks

I don't think the original poster is blaming anyone merely stating why he is disaffected with RL.

Keighley fans are generally a very tolerant, easy to get on with bunch - over the years we have had to be. Perhaps you should not Judge others by your own low standards.

If we have problems they are probably of our own making - but we are not on our own are we?

I would not expect genuine RL fans to come on here and gloat in yet another of our dark hours. Perhaps you should engage that tiny brain of yours before you open your overly large mouth.

I have not put a smiley because I am definitely not laughing.

Not quite.
I feel sorry for the Keighley club however imo Idon't think preparations will be that much of an issue, a new board will come and clean up and you'll start afresh but with a three game points deduction. Simple enough.
Leaguefans inane ramblings and utter garbage pollute the VT, he's bloody annoying.

It's a crap system used only to suit the big teams.

ABSOLUTE CODSWALLOP!
It's not our job to hold up waiting for little yorkshire towns, if you cant keep up, don't run the race.
You almost did it once before, if you want to compete you're going to have to reinvent league again.
realistically you've no chance but you only fail the day you give up.
Same for all the small town clubs, you're not much smaller than Widnes, what a couple of thousand as a town? They'll be in SL come 2012

I’m genuinely sorry to hear this news and wish the Keighley club, and it’s fans, all the best for the future. Hopefully you’ll bounce back.

Sadly, this seems to happening with a frightening regularity these days. I to am becoming very fearful for the game Below SL. The licence system may be nice and cozy for those in SL, but it is killing interest everywhere else.

Completely agree.

Re: Success!! : Thu Dec 10, 2009 8:13 pm  

Was there much change in attendances for Keighley this year or even Ch1 as a whole?
its well documented the C1 need more fixtures, i'd have let both welsh teams in and let them scrap for players. Would give two more home fixtures.

Re: Success!! : Thu Dec 10, 2009 8:35 pm  

Our (Cougars) attendances rose by about 20% or so as the season progressed. Nice to see so many SL fans being supportive of the lower divisions...
One day, it may be your club.

If your so sorry for the club but miffed with Leaguefan why post on here and not the VT.

Is it by any chance because you felt the need to appear superior? Better be careful - what goes around comes around.

If the game is to stay healthy it will need lots of "little Yorkshire Towns" and Lancashire towns and other towns throughout the country. I want league to prosper everywhere, not just "my club"

Your arrogance is rivalled only by the size of your mouth.

How on earth is it anyone elses fault because Keighley are a tiny club who are never going to be big enough to challenge the elite.
Remove franchising: you've no chance.
Remove the Salary Cap: you've even less chance than zero
There's nothing Keighley could do to ever have a 'fair' crack at the whip, same for Leigh and so on.
The rugby league world has moved on and you lot can remain down there for all anyone cares, bitter lot.
You should go to enjoy the game, if you ever want to see SL...Go and watch Bradford in your gamedays off

this from a supporter of a team that won nothin for donkeys years until someone pumped millions into the club and then they finally win something.how the games changed eh.very sad.
