Personally speaking I think It's superb that JD has interacting like this with fans through the message board.
I don't think this would happen at any club so a big well done, shows he really cares about moving the club forward.

As fans we should all be scraping the funds together and get a season ticket and let's back the manager.

Mon the Cougars.

Have been a Cougars fan every game since 1989 but have watched then since I was in short trousers. Family have supported the club on and of the pitch since the 1920's. So I can say from experience that this coming season is so important and under JD have the best chance for almost 20 years of getting up there among the Featherstones, Batleys and Halifaxes and punch our weight with them. Who knows after that? Let's give the club all the backing we can. In JD we trust!

Yes, it is good to see JD interacting with fans - can't see it happening at Arsenal! (or Norwich )
As far as Squadbuilder goes, mebbe a bit of info on friday night, for those going to watch the Grand Final on the big screen?

I'll have you know I once had a chat with Delia Smith outside Oakwell before a Barnsley Norwich game!

Was she drunk and shouting at the fans?

Unfortunately no.

Yes Stealth you are correct, we had a sponsors night and shirt launch night prior to Xmas last year when I did indeed sell you your season ticket

I also agree with Goosey that we did try in the town as it was at one such occasion that I first met Goosey when we went in Airedale Centre one Saturday morning to give away free family tickets to a sky game - not as easy as you would have thought - my most memorable response by a 'gentleman' when I offered him a free ticket was "I'd rather stick pins in my eyes" .... obviously I now realise he must have been a bulls supporter !

But I equally agree that a town prescence by JD and the lads in recognisable kit is paramount in the off-season especially ! Yes we tried it before with limited success but I believe the fans only want to see the Coach and Players ! They need to stand-out so what could be more eye-catching than these strapping lads in full grand final kit amongst the Keighley shoppers Obviously Freddie Cougar also stands out from the crowd so together they would be quite a positive presence promoting both squad builder and season tickets !

A couple of 'leisurewear' shirts that can be worn out and about, with the Cougar badge on, for sale at the club. That way we can fly the flag without having to wear our figure-hugging matchday shirts!

Another great idea. Polo and T-Shirts with Cougar badge and "Grand Final Winners 2011" for sale before Christmas. The ideal pressie for me and many of my family.

Definitely. Great idea. If there were a couple of polo shirts / T-shirts available I would certainly be up for buying one, or maybe even more than one. I could spread the Cougar word up here in the north east.

Fantastic to see JD on this forum
