I think I saw Gary with a pie once. Not sure that he paid for it. I don't know how he can live with himself. We have a right to know.

You ever thought that was a personal loan to the club.
Do you really think the club was in credit by £245k.
How can you syphon money from a club when there is no crowds down.
My friend was upstairs when Gary came up with the gate reciepts against London Scholars and there was less than a £1,000 took.
Now its not rocket science but that would not cover more than 4 players wages for that day alone never mind players wages and contract money when we're away.
I think as a small club were doing really well. Reserve team which can't be said of many Super league clubs and Championship clubs.
A youthful team which looks on paper more than capable of being competitive.
A coach who has been well schooled at Batley under John Kear.
Instead of knocking everything the club try to do get behind them or simply stop supporting them and keep your negative thoughts to yourself

icon_lol.gif Had to laugh at that one. Did he spin you that story or did you just make it up? Where do you think Fawcett would have got quarter of a million quid from to lend to the club? d040.gif You'd have massively increased respect, business backing, sponsorship, goodwill, local buy-in, crowds, rugby league nous, volunteers, feel good factor not to mention sporting success and be a magnet for the community if Fawcett were to walk (or be led away). The dwindling number of (duped/naïve/stupid - tick as appropriate) people who still back him and keep him in power just prolong the agony and do the majority of (now lapsed) Cougars supporters a disservice, preventing them from supporting the team, as they will not set foot in CP again until he's no longer involved. Hence there are "no crowds down" as you say. And please don't refer to Keighley Cougars as a small club, despite what Fawcett has done to it. Cougars were big in the past and will be again - but not until this guy has gone, I'm afraid.

If you wish to keep digging then you're welcome to, but I would suggest that the demise of the club is not down to one person only.
Oh and if you think Cougars have EVER been a big club, to put it in perspective, Leeds regularly get attendances that are in excess of the clubs record attendance which happened in the 1950's!

There is more chance of Gary doing a personal loan than embezzling a quater of a million pounds from the club. Like I said before Churchill your not a supporter and the club don't need people like you bad mouthing it constantly.

Not posted on this forum for years, but I do read it. Why does anybody reply to this Churchill person. He is an obvious STIRRER / WINDUP merchant who gets great pleasure in posting negative thoughts to invoke a reaction. Don't respond, let him stew.

Mr Churchill, as a volunteer at Cougars, I along with my team, meet with Gary regularly, who is very supportive, as we are of him. There is a lot going on behind the scenes which will benefit the club. We have a new coach who has displayed a professional approach along with new backroom staff. There has also been no shortage of players staying and new ones joining, with the emphasise on youth for the future. That can only be seen as POSITIVE (recognise that word)

The volunteers shall all be at Cougar Park on Monday & Thursday next week. We've planned to do some painting, come on down. Usually find the paint needs a good STIR prior to application.
