I wish gary Fawcett would check his facts before he starts spouting his propaganda speel. I know he likes to big up everything at the moment, but this is no excuse for spouting rubbish. In the Keighley news today JD is calling for a crowd of 2,000 and saying he hopes for the biggest crowd for a decade. This is a possibility, but then you get Gary Fawcett getting carried away and saying it should be the biggest since 1995.

Our attendances in the Cougarmania era didn't peak until 1996 with a couple of 6,000 plus crowds against Hull and Salford and we regularly topped 3,000 right up until 2001.

Lets hope we do get over 2,000 on Sunday as it should be a cracking game and for the first time for a decade I feel we are able to compete with the best teams outside Super League.

Message to Gary Fawcett,I have a tin hat and some sand bags I can lend you it looks like its open season on you.Come on Cougar fans we all think we know how the club should be run(me included)but we cant all be right and fair play to anyone who takes on that role.Anyone who knows me(not exactly hiding my identity)will know I have had my problems with a previous chairman but I always excepted that its a job that your on a hiding to nothing with,we are after all Rugby League fans and we are never happier than when we are moaning.

To be fair Shaun it's only [isome[/i Cougar fans who seem to have rather large dull axes

I don't agree with all his statements, but at least he is giving it a go. Every time I've been to the club during the day he's been there, so he's not exactly shirking.

Point taken Dreamer,the fans with the dull axes are few in numbers.Anyway as I said we all like a good moan me included.
On a more serious note I am hoping Rugby League pulls together this weekend and shows support and respect for the 6 soldiers killed this week.I note all were from famous Rugby League playing towns,It would be a nice gesture down at Cougars on Sunday if the local Cadets could lead the teams out and lead a minutes silence.

It would be nice to see some sort of a tribute to those soldiers.

I would have thought we would have already been holding a minutes silence for former player Michael Land who passed away suddenly during the week aged 28. No age.

If Leeds game is used as an example, we should be doing that tribute
