It’s a belter of a draw. Love a trip to keighley and it’s always a competitive match.

Agree entirely.
The cup is an interruption we can do without, other than, just like Keighley, we'd like to meet a bigger club at home to fill the coffers a bit. As for the cougars, I hope we take a decent following and then win the game and get Leeds, at home, next round.

I'd take that too.

Some Keighley supporters eh?

I would have thought that Keighley would be getting on their knees this morning and giving thanks to the gods of the Challenge Cup draw (or at least Robbie Paul and Simon Foster).



They literally could not have had a better outcome!



The club that will bring the largest number of away fans by a distance - at a time when the club is rebuilding and needing income to do so!

If the new Cougar directors, who I believe were the instigators of Cougermania, have any marketing skills they'll be all over this one - marketing like crazy all over Keighley and district. If they can't get at least 3K through the gate, then I'd be amazed.

The result doesn't matter. It's a cup that we can't win and we don't need the distraction or potential injuries. So 'the event' is what Keighley need to maximise.

Keighley away, perfect draw for me. Short bus ride. A few pints in the decent pubs in town. Fantastic.

Would fancy coming over the hill for that one myself.

Let's see if we can meet up

What date/time? I'll have a word with Smoggy Bull, he should be up for it.

Check your PMs.

Christ, not another warning?

I might be available seeing as tigertot owes me at least 38 pints. Can one of you gentlemen (or tigertot) add me to the venue PMs?

I'll even go to the bar on your round. As I did last time.

But where were you when it was your round? We even sent Albert's bloodhound to look for you, but it came back scratching its head

Why didn't you pay the ransom?
Confirmed as TV game, 2.45 Sunday, 31st March,

Should be a good game...the obvious choice for the TV match !

Being the athlete what I am, & knocking on a bit, I got my dates wrong & I have a duathlon on Sunday, so cannot make the game regretfully. You will have to wait now for 39 pints.

I'm 50/50 depending on what er indoors wants to do that weekend.

I'd successfully negotiated the Mother's Day hurdle & was feeling rather pleased with myself.
Have you not come across the Paul Dixon approach to these things?

I still value my life.
