Super League fan, you can now add Keighley to that list....
KEIGHLEY COUGARS CLUB STATEMENT:
We are releasing this statement to inform all involved with the Keighley Cougars that we recently came within hours of going out of existence.
This would have meant Keighley Rugby League, a staple of the Keighley community for 117 years and a place that has brought so much joy to those who have been involved with our great club, would have been consigned to nothing more than memory and the history book.
The borough of Keighley has a population of over 90,000 people and our average attendances are in the 600 region meaning that only 0.7% of our community support the club on a regular basis.
The reason behind this is our now former Chairman, Gary Fawcett, is currently reluctant to sell his shares in the club thus blocking any proposed takeover of Keighley Cougars and causing the club financial hardship.
As of the 29th June 2018 after paying players contract payments, the club bank balance currently stands at a sum of £34.23.
