Re: TROUBLE FOR COUGARS ? : Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:26 pm
The meeting went well tonight, it was very well presented throughout and there was lots of chances for people to ask questions and voice their concerns. Gary spoke and answered questions about the rumors and said article. He explained that he believed it had come from a certain player posting on twitter that he had not been paid on the 31st July - Gary said that was the payday that month. He then said it was due to the rfl giving backword on an agreed payment of £14,000. Gary said they received an email on the 30th July to say the money would not be paid to Cougars. The directors got the money together and paid everyone by 2nd August, he said JD was the last to be paid on that date which JD acknowledged. This was accepted by people there as the reason behind the rumor and no-one questioned it. As I left tonight I know that over 25 people signed up to it and I took with me 4 forms to fill out. All money goes direct to squad builder, no director will have access to this money. It is a yearly subscription of £10 per person, I urge everyone to get a form on thursday, fill it in and pledge their £10, its all for the team, which in turn benefits the fans, and the club.
