Population of York 174k Population of Keighley 52k
Percentage of Population going to games. York 0.62% Keighley 1.78%
Professional Clubs within 25 mile radius of ground York: Castleford, Leeds, Featherstone, Hunslet Keighley: Halifax, Br*dford, Leeds, Batley, Dewsbury, Hunslet, Huddersfield, Castleford, Wakefield, Rochdale, Oldham not to mention 7 pro football clubs as well.
So despite being our town being a third of the size of the city of York and having 3 times as much competition as York do, our attendance is only 15% less than yours. I think it speaks volumes about how good the staff are at Cougar Park at bringing people in especially considering how badly the town's been hit by the recession.
As for trying to bring money in you better look at this,
Is that the world's 5th largest brewing corporation we've just attracted as a sponsor?

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

With his ability to massage figures, I'd certainly recommend it. How about putting him in charge of Keighley Cougars 2009 Ltd's accounts?[/quote]
Even though neither club has anything to do with me I hate when people don't back up their statements, especially ones that are vehemently having a go.
So, I have to ask, what do mean by 'massage figures'? And if you think they're wrong and you're right, what figures do you come up with?
