I believe the current Cougars hooker provides the best value in the NLs and can cover a number of important positions. |

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

I have to visit Keighley (among many other places) as part of my job, and I can honestly say it is probably one of the worst places in the North of England to actually reach, unless you enjoy a heavy serving of frustration.
Personally, I'd take the M6/M65/Colne route as the least frustrating of the 3 options you have.....Either through Halifax or Bradford being your others.....However, its a minimum 90 minute drive whichever you choose and parking isn't too fantastic either. |

We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_60894.jpg |

I have to agree with the preceeding post that Keighley is not easy to get to. It depends on whether the M62 or the M6/M65 is more convenient for you as regards where you'll be travelling from. When I've been travelling in the opposite direction I've used the M65/M6 route. If you come via Colne you will come into Keighley from the Skipton side, as it were, and you will come upon our ground straight away. If you come from Halifax you will have to negotiate the town centre, not that it's really all that big though. I wouldn't consider coming via Bradford, it'll only depress you, it's a bit grim. Sounds like Hard Ings Road is actually going to be closed which will probably be a right pain. |

I presume neither the Leisure Centre or those two shopping parks close by, are an option for matchday parking?...  |

They normally might be but it may be difficult with a larger than usual attendance. Add to that the potential closure of Hard Ings Road and it could be a nightmare. All three of those options you mention are reached from Hard Ings Road. I'm not sure exactly what the extent of the roadworks is going to be but a closure has been mentioned; I've no idea whether this would be all of the road or just a part of it but whatever it is it won't be good. The logical detour if Hard Ings Road is in fact closed is Royd Ings Avenue which takes you past what is now the main entrance to Cougar Park (even though this is the 'back road'). There's usually parking along there and one of those two retail parks - Alston Road retail park - can also be reached from it but if traffic is being diverted along Royd Ings Avenue it will be mighty congested. I'm going to leave my jalopy at my parents' house and walk down

I'd certainly try and avoid the old 'Do you come here often?' or 'Heaven must be missing an angel' routine. These cougars have seen it all before.
Just be yourself. |

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary, and those that don't.: |

I think the Retail Park is monitored by a private company, only allowed 1 maybe 2 hours, not sure.
As for getting to the ground.I regularly travel from Keighley to Burtonwood, depending on time of day and day of week it can take anything from 1 Hour 15 to 2 Hours 15.
I would think on a Sunday M62 to Halifax or M65 to Colne should take no more than an Hour and Half.Just remember it may be awkward parking once you get to the ground.
