Quote: Pumpetypump "Surely that statement which I find too similar to barrows to be coincidence, is a deliberate agreed strategy for lower level clubs to make statements about how close to the brink they are / have been. Or am I reading too much into it.'"


Pretty sure all the lower league clubs had a meeting at Odsal over the last couple of days as well. Hmmmm eusa_think.gif

Quote: paulwalker71 "Incidentally, the statement makes reference to how their 600 crowds are 7% of the local population of around 90,000. Well, when I was doing my GCE Maths all those years ago, 600 was actually 0.7% of 90,000. If that's an indication of Keighley's ability to crunch the numbers, it's probably not a surprise that they've run out of money!'"


That tickled me icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Quote: guess who "Arguably two of our best players have left the club.
Due to not been happy about the new offer put to them.
Think some of you are reading way to much into this.
The club is short is short of money and have to cut cloth.
Something you should be aware of.'"


Yeah if only we'd have sold/released Vainikolo, Hape, Fielden etc instead of forcing them to stay on...oh wait.....

Actually I am not going to be abusive....

I see it as one of two things (either way probably not reading too much into it)

1) The game really is dying on it's knees (likely)
2) They are playing brinkmanship to point out how SL is trying to grab all the cash and let them die?

I agree the timing is poor after the big Odsal Pow-wow but there is never a good time to say 'We're about to go out of existence unless you can get us 45-60k'

It’s a shame for those Keighley fans that didn’t react with glee when we went through similar problems. I think there are some.

In all seriousness if I was a Keighley/Whitehaven/Barrow fan, I would be wanting some answers from those in charge as I'm not sure how you mess up your budgets so badly as to leave a £45k+ shortfall. In our case, the answer was that our man in charge was a lying s*!tbag. I hope for these clubs that their troubles aren't from a similar source.

Agreed it's very sad for both of them.
