TROUBLE FOR COUGARS ? : Mon Aug 06, 2012 12:20 pm  

Was rather concerned to see a short article in 'League Weekly' (page 11 )about a rumour apparently 'going around' of Financial difficulties of Gary Fawcett and the keighley Cougars......

Hopefully Gary Fawcett will quash and put an end to these 'rumours' at the Pride in the red and green First meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday) at Cougar Park.

I urge everyone to attend as this could give us all chance to Voice our thoughts and maybe worries directly to the club via a united front.

I'll be there and I hope many of you will be too.

Oh , Please don't shoot the messenger , only passing on what I saw in the League Weekly.

Lets just say the Cougars are in financial trouble AGAIN !! Do you really think Mr Fawcett will stand up and admit it Unfortunately Im unable to make it tommorow either ... but would have loved to.
I think this is a case of "wheres theres smoke" and not just an idle rumour, And I dont think a rugby league paper would start speculating had they not a bit of info, after the recent B***s debacle.
I can just picture certain fans sharpening their knives
But please Mr Fawcett IF we are in the mire at least have the decency to not treat us fans like mushrooms,

Ok I'll now chip in.

I actually heard this before last weekend, very close to admin was what I was told.

Really hope not.

Won't be able to attend Tuesday - so please update and let us know what's said and planned.
Maybe Gary Fawcett has financial difficulties but we do have more than one director so surely that doesn't really matter- I know someone who knows the other 2 directors down at cougar park and they arnt short of a few quid - 1 as I understand as fingers in many pies as they say.
I hope the questions are asked to Gary on Tuesday and we get a straight answer

I just love how rumours get around so fast, a couple of longtime cougar season ticket holders asked me about this at Sunday's match.

I personally telephoned one of the directors this morning to discuss the rumours, he informed me there was no issues. The rumours seem to be circulating because the players were late in being paid.

He confirmed to me that the players had been paid, it's the old usual cash flow issue, we all suffer it. I'm sure Gary fawcett will confirm all this at tonight's meeting.

And I repeat ... do you really think they would tell you or anyone else for that matter ??
