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

Signed.

Though I share the view of others that it won't work. If petitions actually did anything they'd be illegal.

I do feel it's only right that the RFL know peoples' feelings though, but I guess they are in full defensive mode right now.

Incidentally, I disagree with the view that ALL keighley fans are against the Bulls - a few keyboard warriors is far from all Keighley fans and in any case, what is wrong is wrong, whoever is involved and this is plain wrong.

Also signed. It's wrong. It's funny, but it's wrong.

signed. If theres evidence others broke the rules why arent the RFL testing that evidence by punishing those clubs, then appointing the same members to the appeal tribunal that would be bound to follow. if they approved the appeal they would then have to rescind their previous decision, if they upheld the punishment they would have to rescind their previous decision. But no doubt there's special circumstances that allow the RFL to do what they want and *** to being fair. A cheats charter.

You're probably forgetting that York have been promoted.

Oh I know that, but off this site I know 3 Keighley fans in the real world, all three hate us and have not been backwards in telling me so this past year and how much they enjoyed our relegation. So 100% of the Keighley fans I know are against the Bulls.

But I have signed the petition, despite it having zero chance to change anything, as like you say, this is just plain wrong from the rfl as far as I can see, and I hope its put right, despite the possible benefit to Keighley
