Yes Stealth you are correct, we had a sponsors night and shirt launch night prior to Xmas last year when I did indeed sell you your season ticket

I also agree with Goosey that we did try in the town as it was at one such occasion that I first met Goosey when we went in Airedale Centre one Saturday morning to give away free family tickets to a sky game - not as easy as you would have thought - my most memorable response by a 'gentleman' when I offered him a free ticket was "I'd rather stick pins in my eyes" .... obviously I now realise he must have been a bulls supporter !

But I equally agree that a town prescence by JD and the lads in recognisable kit is paramount in the off-season especially ! Yes we tried it before with limited success but I believe the fans only want to see the Coach and Players ! They need to stand-out so what could be more eye-catching than these strapping lads in full grand final kit amongst the Keighley shoppers Obviously Freddie Cougar also stands out from the crowd so together they would be quite a positive presence promoting both squad builder and season tickets !

Shame we can't get old Rolf Harris to knock us out a painting. One was valued at £50,000 on Antiques Roadshow last night. We could do a lot of good with that sort of brass!

It is quite a quandry and a waste of money if you get it wrong. I was in Australia in 1998 just after Brisbane beat Canterbury in the first NRL grandfinal and there was an absolute ton of Canterbury winners merchandise on sale for 25 - 50 cents because they had got it all made up incase they won, but that must have cost the club a fair wedge.

In response to Lawkholme Len from a while ago, yes it was me that came up with the name Cougars, it was a fair while ago now I was only 7 at the time. Funnily enough I have recently moved house and came accross the news paper cutting from the Keighley News announcing the clubs name change, and next to it, an article on us signing Jonny Walker from Otley Rugby Union.

Ls Prints do offer some T-Shirts for the club: www.lsprints.co.uk/t-shirts-101-c.asp but I do agree a polo would probably sell better

Looks like the club have listened to fans. On the website there is a teamwear section on the left hand side. Should be available in 2012. The options are t-shirts, polo's, shorts, hoodies etc. Credit where credit is due again the club.
