Barraclough/Programme : Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:15 am  

I didn't manage to get to the game on Sunday due to work commitments, but understand Glen Barraclough wasn't there again. If I remember rightly he wasn't there against the Bulls either and wondered if anyone knew anything? Has he left the club?

Also, I know the programme was heavily criticised last season and rightly so. Any better this year?

Glen Barraclough was there, he was sat in the stands where he usually sits, with walkie talkie, and clipboard in hand.
Whoever said he wasn't there should have gone to specsavers

The programme is still an embarrassment and appears to be produced by someone who has never seen a Rugby/Football programme before. The main problem is that there are no teams, which is a surprise as there was for the pre-season matches. There is just a squad list, which is next to useless if you want to see the team for the day, and is totally useless if you are an away fan as there is nothing at all. I would be very annoyed if I were a Batley fan and bought our programme as there was no mention of them. If it stays as it is I would think that nobody will buy one again as the vast majority of it will be the same as the first one.

Agreed programme very poor, glossy and no substance.
hopefully this will improve

Thanks Darren for your positive comments. I wasn't at the game on Sunday, but was at the game against the Dulls and didn't see GB on the pitch during the warm ups like usual. Maybe this is left the Paul R now. As for seeing in the stands, if Specsavers provide glasses so I can see everyone sat in the stands from my position on the terraces then I should get a pair!

I want to be careful not to say too much out of turn here, however, I am aware that some, including tireless work by an RL fans poster, are trying to re-vamp the programme, but are being frustrated in their efforts. I would hope this is work in progress, but I'm sure if anyone had some constructive comments/recommended inclusions this would be taken on board.

Dominance must have been talking to the ref!

Well done on the efforts to revamp your programme. It certainly needs it. In the meantime, perhaps you could stop charging fans £2.50 for a business-adverts pamphlet.

This is a fans forum not a club website. If you really want to do something about it go here: enquiries@keighleycougars.com We are as miffed about the program as you.

I have often thought that it would be a good and possibly cheap idea, to do some sort of deal with Keighley College to get there media department to do the program for each match, I think this would be beneficial for the club and the college students as they would get a taste working for a publication and obviously the club would benefit from a better programme.
