Thought the coach wasn’t going back while current owners there? Something doesn’t seem right. Fresh start was maybe needed?

Some new documents registered with companies house today, looks like Austria holdings no longer own the club and someone called Claire Auty owns the club outright. Anyone have any details??

Googled her and if it's the women who comes up is a solicitor from Wakefield.
Looked at her Facebook page and she has rugby pictures on there so could be her.
Maybe she has represented Spencer in court and that's how there acquainted

Keighley news doesn't read very well.
Club won't answer any questions, nobody still knows who actually owns the club.
How long can it go on.
7 weeks to start of the season and advertising open trials 4 weeks before the season starts.
This sums up the state of Rugby league in this country at the lower level.
They don't care about teams outside super league.
They need to step in now before it's too late.

Reports on Facebook that Spencer has refused a cash offer from O'Neill. Rumours of damage to the ground with the bar being ripped out and the ground being abandoned with the gates left open.

Sounds awful.

It really does stink does this.

The Coop own the land/ground and RFL Facilities Trust own the lease.

On the board of said trust - Nigel Wood, Ralph Rimmer, Karen Moorhouse and more.

I assume one of the above has given the green light for an obvious and blatant crook as seen below to take control;

Q1. Why was he allowed to take control
Q2. Why has there been no intervention from the leaseholder on behalf of its tennant?
Q3. Who stands to gain from the situation.

I have no idea!

I have a theory but no way dare I say.

I am not a Keighley fan - but I do support the game as a whole. And as a game we can't afford to be losing grass roots clubs.

Its a pity the RFL don't appear to give a ****.

As for prior remark regards they only care about SL - they failed there too - hence the formal split - SL now runs its own show.

Again - not good for the game - we now have a three way split - SL, Championship-L1-L2 and BARLA -and they will all work against one another.

A depressing day.

I hope at some point, things improve for your club.

Even the supporters club facebook page has been taken down.
Is tomorrow not D Day for the club regards coming out of special measures.

Oh Errol , please tell us your theory ......

There is a brand new supporters club page on Facebook to replace the 1 taken down by the enemy.

Get ready RL cougarmania is back!!!!

Glad it's been sorted. Looking forward to some Cougarmania again.

For those of us currently away in Blackpool doing work for the March Film Festival, some more details would be nice. PS, this is volunteer work, so not costing taxpayers a penny, lol

Burleycougar, Errol got it spot on. Shane Spencer is a ruthless asset stripper. If you look into him, he has dozens of dodgy company names he operates under. He has dozens of CCJs against him, he moves address regularly closing companies down as he goes so bailiffs can not serve the writs against him. He owes tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds in unpaid wages. How he got his feet under the table at Keighley buggers belief. One of his 'companies'WSTS, sponsored Castleford and Featherstone a few years ago, from info on companies house he left Fev owing them 50k. I've been watching this man for a couple of years, he tried stealing my partners business from her too but, thanks to some of his previous victims getting in touch, I managed to thwart his plan the day before she was signing the papers. He wasn't a happy man I can tell you.

Shane Spencer needs investigating by HMRC and other organisations before he does anymore scamming!
