Quote: Dominance "Given the comparison work by Len above I think people are being a tad over critical. Do I think the club rested on its laurels a little with regard to the Wire game, yes. Could they have promoted the game more, absolutely but would that have converted into a profitable paying fan? I'm not sure. As we keep saying money is tight and many people won't have the spare money at the end of the week to take their families, themselves to the game. Would a £1K marketing strategy been converted into £2K more at the gate for example. I'm not sure. Maybe this was a option for the club, but maybe their calculations didn't make it viable.
On a separate note, why is everything the club does questioned or criticised by fans? It feels like everything the club does is either not good enough or could have been done better. Let's take those negative specs off and start seeing the positives.
1) People asked for teamwear - it's been launched.
2) People wanted a good Champ squad - we've got one.
3) We played Wire in the cup and people wanted a good showing - you got it.
4) We've got a first class young coach who is performing wonders at the club.
That's just 4 things to applaud that I thought of in a short space of time.
I'm all for people having an opinion which may differ to mine, somebody else etc, but it just feels like of late all we seem to discuss is negatives.'"
Maybe they criticise because they care about the club and want better for it.
My single biggest criticism of the club is that it seems to look inwards on itself and doesn't want to get out there and sell itself to the Keighley public.
I've seen way more posters for Funfairs, Circuses and American Wrestling than I have for Keighley Cougars playing the Super League minor premiers at Cougar Park.
