Theres nothing we can do anymore, the clubs gone into admin and we're gonna lose points from the RFL. The only people to blame are those that let the club get into such a bad state in the first place.
You cant just say sack staff at the club, it's tight enough as it is down there. Who would you really get to do the jobs they do? It's alright saying get volunteers in but who's going to stand behind the bar and miss the entire game? Or stay around after closing up time and clean up?
I feel sorry for Colin in all this, he's ploughed money into the club and now look whats happened. Who's going to go down to the kitchen at 6am putting the ovens on and filling them with joints of beef for the meal upstairs?
At the end of the day nothing can be done other than carry on the work getting more fans into the ground, which lets face it was happening last season I certainly saw a crowd increase. We just need to get behind the lads for the start of the season, they're gonna try their best even with a points deduction. Lets just get behind them.

COOOUUUGGGAAAAAAAAAARRRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I came to Cougars in the early nineties because our kids got free tickets - it really does work if the product is right.

I recently spoke to a fan from a superleague club who came to watch us and commented how good it was that players came into the bar after the game and interacted with fans. He said at his club you had to pay a fortune for the privilege.

There was a tangible spirit amongst the players last year I only hope that continues this year.

If the new directors are up to anything (and I assume they are) they should understand the tools available to analyse a business and set the necessary targets and responsibilities to take it forward.

I agree with being involved in every revenue stream and striving for customer satisfaction, but sometimes it makes sense to franchise ie the burger van. The key business decision is making the call of when its viable.

Yet again it seems that Cougar fans live in "interesting times".

I think its about time the new directors held a forum with the fans to give a broad outline of what they intend and to dispel the growing rumour mill.

www.keighleynews.co.uk Basically the article confirms the new board of directors and the way they see us going forward, however to my suprise, more disappointment than suprise really is Neil is on the new board. Forwardpass tries to pass the criticism of Neil and Colin without evidence to the contrary that as directors they were ultimately responsible for ensuring payments were being made. How could we be told in papers weeks ago we are in stronger position yet this bill was outstanding, can someone explain this. The reason for my disappointment of Neil being on new board is simply that without a full and frank public statement the club in my view cannot be seen as moving forward as this is not the 1st time under the stewardship of Neil. Whilst I may come across as harsh all that is needed is evidence that as chairman Neil ACCEPTS responsibility. Without is whilst I will attend games and watch and support the players I will not be going in bar and spending money as to me its like rewarding failure. If at such a time as a full statement is public that is my position

I fully agree.

What the hell is a "legacy tax debt".

If the 2001 board are not to blame for it, then make it clear that this is the case.

No comment on the source of it will mean fans reaching only one conclusion.
