But then it's easy to be negative about the past than be positive about the future. It's what us British are comfortable with and at which we excel. Keighley are gold medalists.'"
Well Chris that's taken the biscuit!
There has been much trumpeting of your own glorious past as being reason enough for a stay of exclusion from SL, but as soon as it suits you, you tell other fans to ignore the bits you don't like 
You couldn't make it up!
Is that what you are telling the tax man Chris? "I'ts in the past, forget about it" 
PS good luck to the Bradford fans, raising that 500K was pretty awesome by anyone's standard. |

I will assume you have deliberately misread my post, which actually suggested you take a positive stance and presented a strong business case as opposed to spurious gripes about what may or may not have happened. Notwithstanding some (not all) Keighley fans taking great pleasure in the Bulls current situation. Poor form.

So it's our fault by association then? Despite us fans having nothing to do with any of it.
That explains the warm welcome whenever I've been to Cougar Park
Seems that some fans wish ill fortune on others because of a the actions of administrators. That hardly seems fair and if anything holds the game back even more.

I have every respect for the outstanding effort of the Bradford fans in trying to save the club they love.
I have little respect for the Bradford Management, past and present. |

Now, now, that's getting carried away a tad. But I don't see the point in continuing to be hostile to your fans.
However it is worth remembering that quite a few Keighley fans worked in Bradford at the time, and from talking to them, SOME Bradford fans made life rather unpleasant.

Ah, but that's actually Haworth, and according to your own publicity that's in Bradford, so you've only got yourselves to blame.

| Quote: aj cougar "Neither is Bradford it would seem?'"
Neither was Northern Rock, but that is not the point. If we want RL to match yawnion/cricket/tennis for the nation's second sport it needs the promotion in the media that they attract. It isn't going to get it unless major towns & cities, with big support, are involved. I don't like the way of the modern world that values style over substance but it's a sad fact. As the crow flies Keighley are my nearest team, I try & get there 2 or 3 times a year, I would love to go to SL matches at Cougar Park, but without a sugar daddy there isn't a hope in hell they could last more than a year. I come from & played for a town where RL is a perennial struggler for support & media. I was there when, not for the first or last time, they went through what Bradford are now. But we were small & crap so no-one noticed. That was all pre-SL, when the game as a spectacle was not a patch on what it is now. |

He was worth more than Offiah because the Saints paid more a few years later.
If you think 200k was a fair price for Newlove at the time then you should be somewhere, where sharp objects is prohibited.

| Quote: isaac1 "This debate does raise some serious questions about our game. It was founded out of a unified decision based on justice and fairness. 117 years later and those values have evaporated.
The fanbase of our sport was struggling to finance part time players in most top division clubs in 1995, and Superleague was supposed to bring financial security and a new level of professionalism and growth of the sport.
The international game is now weaker than it was pre SL and the sky cash goes directly into the hands of the now full time players. we are told year on year that crowds are up, but how many of these people pay a full price, or any price?
The move to summer has been beneficial in some respects, but how much more revenue would a proper kangaroo tour enable clubs to earn? is it worth it?
what happens if the sky money stops? our sport would change beyond recognition. With the advent of professional rugby union, how would we survive with all the best young players playing union?
the heart of our game was always the community. am I the only person that prefers going to Wheldon Rd rather than the galpharm, or prefered Knowlsey rd to langtree park?
The sport needs to stop dreaming of a european wide league, and focus on preserving the roots of our professional (or semi pro) game.
If you havent seen them, try and get copies of the two "when push comes to shove" books. Look at the pictures and read the articles. Thats what Rugby league is about!'"
Spot on! I agree 100% |

Saints paid Bradford £250k for newlove, if you want to include add ons and stuff Wigan paid Widnes far more than the recorded figure.
TBF I prefer crayons to pencils anyway, they taste far nicer!!! |

It's better than being greedy, cheating, manipulative and corupt.
Comments like this just want me to go 'tick tock 9 days to go'. I hope you go bust and a buyer can't be found for the liquadated club. |

Any stationary that you can draw an artist impression of a new ground will probably do any Wakefield fan. |
