I would love to extend the same level of sympathy to Keighley as their fans have to Bradford over recent times.

No problem. Thanks to everyone else that has signed it.

RFL = Joke.

That's exactly what I thought at first,but then I thought yet another almighty balls up by the RFL shouldn't be swept under the carpet

We need a petition to get rid of the muppets at Red Hall

"The Dulls clearly think they have a divine right to SL. If there is a God, shirley he or she will put the final nail in the coffin and dismiss the appeal and also charge so much in fees that they go bust again and go to hell. Not that I'm bitter or anything you understand."

Above is a fairly typical cougar fan response to our troubles earlier this year from their forum. Karma can be a bitch sometimes. There has been no mention on here of that last minute fev try on Sunday that condemned our lovely neighbours to the rugby league wilderness, despite their joy at our expense this year. I think this is because whilst they hate us, most of us pretty much nothing them. But seeing as how you've brought it up, I offer you all the same sympathy you've shown us........




Ps, having said that, the rfl have been a joke over this issue, a crazy situation.

Tbf it is hardly all Keighley fans, even if they do have some Premier league assholes which do seem to send us their occasional wishes as above.

But ultimately what has happened to them is fairly typical. Complete and utter ballsup, followed by on-the-hoof fag-packet swerve and reverse, accompanied by absolutely no worthwhile explanation, and a brazen bluff-it silence in the knowledge that it's tomorrow's chip papers, and they will surely get away with it, like they got away with everything in our case and in many previous cases involving others and other issues.

They have no shame, no sense of embarrassment, and feel absolutely no need whatsoever to account to the fans for their actions, however bizarre.

There'll be other lessons too, first that many talk a good game, but a much smaller proportion ever bother to actually do anything, even sign a petition. And finally that it'll just be a total waste of time, as it will achieve nothing, except to show the RFL that only a tiny proportion of RL fans are even bothered to sign up.

Only a court case would potentially achieve anything, but they all tend to fizzle out into damp squibs, so I'm afraid unless the Cougars put up the money to take the fight to court, they might as well move on in the time-honoured way their trolls regularly encourage us to do.

Keighley should have cut their cloth accordingly

Am I being really thick but Keighley are 10th aren't they? So how are they being relegated?
I don't understand.

Bottom 5 go to make way for the wonderful new league structure.

I'm going to say I'll sign the petition but unfortunately I doubt it'll do much.

I agree with FA it needs a court case to expose this lot.

Agree entirely, not fit for purpose- make a mockery of our great game.

Bottom five? How does that work? Do they not need 12 teams in the league next year?
I still don't get it!

Ironically the RFL fans survey dropped into my email box yesterday too. They want to know how well they're doing, and what the fans think of them! I hope whoever reads mine isn't easily offended. I should imagine there's slim chances of the results ever being published, but I don't imagine their approval ratings from BD postcodes will be that high.

yes: 14 plus 2 superleague demoted plus one Ch1 promoted minus 5 Ch demoted = 12.

The real mockery is the fat mans huge wage packet. How can someone so incompetent earn so much!!!!

He's underpaid, but sticks it out as they also pour ungodly amounts into a whacking great pension pot
