I agree with Mike this season has been the most disappointing in my time of watching cougars. I personally think we need a total change at the club, fresh ideas from the top to try win these fans back. We have had a great squad of players on paper which should of seen us promoted. Also the continued arguing/slagging off isnt good for the clubs name. Any potential signings coach or playere wise reading this must be thinking what kind of club/set up are we.
We all want to see the cougar mania days back and my opinion only way to get them back is get the guys in charge then back in charge.
Why would we commit to buying season tickets without name of coach/players signed for next season.
Get the cougars back where we belong.

None of this was of course predictable. This kind of thing has no historical basis to look back on.
If KRLFC went to the wall, I don't think many would miss it. The interest in the game within the town and area, including the amateurs is slowly declining.
As an observation I don't think there been a school in the Keighley area where Rugby League was the main sport. Perhaps that in itself may answer a few questions.

Well Leaguefan, I would miss it. It seems to me that a few on here would like Cougars to disappear for whatever twisted motivation. Coaches and indeed Chairmen come and go, and indeed the club has almost gone and then resurfaced under some of the previous regimes. This season we have had some god times but its right to start again with a new coach and some new ideas and already I am looking forward to a new season. I hope the club survives and that one day you can get over your bitterness. You and few others sound a bit sad.

Don't think anybody wants it to disappear
he's just stating facts.We all think rugby league
is the best on this forum but as a whole
most people follow football which will
always dominate over rugby league.

I hope the club embraces the youth of the town and the New Coach is Youth minded.
Whilst Tiger, Marchy and others gave us some good moments, I want to see Keighley kids have a goal to aim at.

Lets spot the next Duffy, Buster coming up.
What has happened has happened.

If the next coach is just for buying older players I see a repeat of last 2 years to come.

We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_60894.jpg



I would miss it too. Can't imagine Keighley without the Rugby League club and I'm also looking forward to a new start next season. The perceived lack of interest in the town is mirrored throughout RL though; several of this season's Championship clubs are struggling on with attendances hovering around 400-600. Crowds at Halifax seem to be well down on what they were getting just a couple of years ago. Even in Super League Huddersfield don't attract as many as we did during Cougarmania and Salford got barely over 1,000 last weekend. I'm not sure what the answer is but something is not right with RL at the moment.
