There's no point in holding social events then moaning that people who support the club didn't attend.

The whole point of holding socials at the club should be to attract the custom of people who DON'T follow the club. If you aim purely at the loyalists then you're narrowing you're market drastically.

I was at work, I hope that's an acceptable excuse?
I think part of the problem is Cougar Park's location - it's not on a bus route, not within easy walking distance from town, so people are looking at either driving, a fairly long walk, or a taxi. Dunno what the club can do about that, mind!
I think Cougars need more of a presence in Keighley town itself, and a bit of publicity in the surrounding areas. They're all but invisible to those folk who aren't already supporters, so it isn't easy to attract new support which is what we need.

everyone comes on this site and a few times even previously people are sugesting social nights as a great way of supporting the club SO WHERE WERE YOU ALL.

I do not have to justify where i was. Or why i didnt go to you or any one else.

If the event was as badly attended as you say. Then maybe you are directing you displeasure at the wrong people.

You need to ask the club. Why are they not putting on, the type of event people would like to go to.

Do you know. If any sort of study has ever been undertaken, to find out what fans want?

I await your answer.

I Live in Burley in Wharfedale , unable to drive anymore and no buses after 6pm , the train station is to far for me to walk to. That is why i miss all socials and why the last 3 seasons i have only been to a handful of home matches.
The ground is on a bus route by the way mick w , the riddlesden bus goes straight down lawkholme first unless it has changed recently.

Music Cougar what a load of S**T.

Think the people who did the role before Rob also did a good job in promoting the Cougars, we use to get news on here which you have to ring and complain to get it.

I was told couple of weeks ago about some players re-signing and i had to ring the club to double check two weeks later as it still wasn't announced. I would of thought this news should be up straight away with the club wanting us fans to buy season tickets.

I can't go to these events as don't live in Keighley but come pick me up for every event and am there. I go to every game home and away.

Your comments if anything will put fans off.

I planned long before this event was planned to take the chance to go and see Australia & New Zealand play each other.

I show my support by standing on the terrace's and travelling to places like London & Bridgend to support the team.

I was there last Friday night. And yes i too was dissapointed at the turn out.
You can not make people go to something if they do not want.
It was the same when a quiz night was held on a Thursday night. Same people every week, poor turn out.
On the subject of season tickets,how many have been sold? When i went for mine two weeks ago it was 40.
Long way to go yet.
