A couple of weeks ago there was a thread on the Featherstone Rovers fans' Facebook page pointing out Keighley's petition. A lot of fans stated on that thread that they would sign the petition (or already had).

Now we read your Chairman chucking stuff like this (the allegation re the RFL and our players' wages) out at a public meeting, retweeted by The Cougars' official Twitter feed (and by Sheffield player Misi Taulapapa). Regardless of whether it's true or not (and most Fev supporters are under no illusions about how sticky our financial situation was post-Feisal), I think a lot of Fev fans - who remember have a lot of natural empathy with Keighley given we were shafted in similar style to the Cougars in 1995 at the start of SL - will have lost a lot of sympathy for Keighley's plight now.

Perhaps there was some context to it, but there's been no attempt to put any context either here or on Twitter as far as I can see.

keighleycougars.com/official-sum ... s-meeting/ The Phantom Horseman, the post by HT is of random notes made by an individual, not the club It is unfortunate that rumours are passed on and can so easily escalate in to unnecessary comments and ill feeling between clubs and fans, what has happened or not at Featherstone is quite rightly as you put it 'none of our business' Thank you for your support with the petition and I would strongly recommend that all rugby league fans sign the petition and stand together against the rfl for the good of the game. HT's points are not the minutes of the meeting last night and therfore should not be confused with the club's minutes which are here to be seen on the link

TBH, I wish I'd not signed the petition now.

As with Phantom, I had a lot of empathy with Keighley, having been bent over and royally rodgered in 1995 just as you were.

Whether or not we have borrowed from the RFL (and I'd be amazed if we hadn't given the mess that the cas b'stard Poskitt and his flip flop wearing mate left) is sod all to do with your club. Why it's even being discussed in relation to your issue is beyond me.

We're not keen on being called a village either.

There are two recent posts now that have caused ill-feeling. Yes, we are not going to please everyone and sometimes things can get taken out of context. Can I suggest that Hello Trouble either posts as himself or as an official of the club. It would seem that he posts personally and on behalf of the club under the one name. People will clearly feel it's a clubs view when in reality it's not (Batley post). Maybe you need two usernames Josh or to maybe be careful what you post. Not sure the club really want to associate themselves with some of the posts? Just saying…..

There used to be "TheClubsVoice" (which seems to have gone dormant) as well as "HelloTrouble!". Maybe Josh could take over the TCV account for official posts and just use HT! For personal posts?
