As our so called media manager, rather than arguing about what you did/did not say (proof above), can you add some clarity on the current situation to fans please. The next steps, what have the RFL done, the EGM because it's all gone a bit quiet. Fans will form their own opinions in the absence of clarity so maybe now would be a good time. I expect nothing, but Gary has taken to the press quite a lot recently but yesterday has been and gone!

Good post.

But don't shoot the messenger; fans now need to hear something from the directors....

Right now, I know as much as the rest of you.

Unfortunately, I can only do as instructed and I was instructed to get the fixtures and I have.

Plus, the RFL would only speak to Gary on this matter anyways, I've tried and got told squat when speaking with Red Hall.

Great post Steve , says what a lot of people won't or daren't......just as I feel to be honest.
I was Clinging on to the fact that the RFL would come round and see the injustice that had yet again been served to us , How stupid was I . But , lets face it , we had a terrible season , does not matter whether it was better than last season statistically or not , we were relegated. We knew we had to stay up ....the prize ? better games better gates and a bigger pot of money being shared out . oh , and that slightest chink in the gate to Super League was there ..... now we will never know as the way things are being run I can see us being in Ch 1 for a while at least.
Then We hear we have lost one of our better players to a rival team after signing for us , stating in the Keighley news the reasons why . It didn't take much understanding of Busters interview why he left....plainly obvious to me and am sure many others. What do we get in return for Buster ? A hasbeen with a bad back..... Yes , as you can see , I am not a fan of the March Brothers ...... P. March led us to relegation this last season when many of the games were winable . where are two of them gonna lead us next season ??? the mind boggles.
I have been supporting Keighley cougars for 35 years now , but the last season may just have been the last.
No ambition , no direction , no money and carp rugby against carp clubs next season.....oh goody.
I may yet just have to do a charge back on the paypal payment and have my money returned for my season ticket unless something changes for the better ..... a new coach would be a good start .

These are my opinions posted on an open forum , I really cannot be d with a slanging match , I will debate with anyone but will not enter into a slanging match or put up with schoolboy name calling.

Back on top form I see BC!

I personally don't see the loss of Buster that huge, as a hooker Luke Haigh has made more impression to me. We need a solid captain, but I think we have a decent team still and lots of youngsters. I think you are wrong about P March, look how crap Kear performed and he is a highly regarded coach. Essentially this season we were outrageously unlucky! Surely you can see that? Almost in the playoffs, by a matter of 1 minute.

Burley you could be abandoning a rejuvenated team next year, good luck getting your PayPal money back. On what grounds?

Chin up, Burley lad! That's about the same length of time as me and we both know we've seen MUCH darker days than these. Next season we've two Sheriffes, Paul White, Danny Lawton, Daley Williams, Danny Jones, Paul Handforth, Paul & David March, Bren Rawlins, Neil Cherryholme, Scott Law, Ross Peltier, Ash Lindsay etc. I might even have forgotten some there but I'm sure those lads can do the business for us and make sure we come back with a bang next season. There's plenty of experience there and we also have plenty of home-grown Keighley talent coming through as well. Now is not the time to throw the Burley towel in, let's get behind our team and get back where we should be.

I'm looking forward to this new season, new clubs to visit, and lots of wins and promotion back to championship!

Not at all Cougartime , well not yet anyway , Just my opinion.
All last season it was people saying stuff like "give them time " give him a chance "
"it's not over yet " , well , we did and we have , we were relegated followed by the complete embarassment of the Batley / Dons saga and ensung farce that follows.

Rugby league is again the laughing stock of the sport world.

I deal with over 100 paypal transactions a day for my online businesses ,
It is very customer centric and there are various ways to claim refunds.

I hope the team are ' rejuvenated ' thiscougaroutfit , I really do , it's the quality of the opposition that's my main bug bear for next season ..... Not gonna be very exciting is it ?
Nothing happening to make me thin k "wow , next seasons gonna be good "

Just the way I feel about the whole situation at the moment.

Not a lawyer but if no punishment is given for breach of operational rules to the clubs this season and last then is not as advertised ??

On the paypal comment it is not the issue of relegation , I was thinking of thebroader picture , totally hacked of at the whole of RL in general , the dual reg debacle may just have been the straw to break the camels back so to speak.
There are various scenarios on which to claim your moneu back through paypal and a time limit
Of up to 6 months in which to claim it .

On the Paul March front , He is a nice guy , have spoke to him on a couple of occasions ,
What I don't like is his coaching style , That is MY opinion , your opinion is different , that is what
The forum is for , to discuss and give opinions.
We will just have to agree to disagree on that one .

I know!
