650 - nobody in championship 1 has any significant away following to boost the crowd over 1000.

Mickey1920 - As a keen cougars fan who spends a lot of time abroad, I rely a lot on your clips to keep upto date with matches etc and like many folk appreciate the amount of time & effort that you put in. Unfortunately you will always get the negative comments from a few certain people who's sole purpose in life appears to be playing devil's advocate to anything and everything. I, for one, hope you ignore them and keep up the good work.

Never been known to spy on a counter.

Agree with Guess what cant get to all the games and its nice to see the lads in action
Keep doing what your doing!!

What is with all the paranoia and folk going all defensive all of a sudden? Geez we're having a debate about how the club can go forward be better in a decent and constructive manner, no trolling, no devil's advocation as far as I can see.

Where are all the comments criticising Mike's videos directly? Reading through I think there's 1 constructive criticism, not one I necessarily I agree with personally, but someone's fair opinion.

Nearly all the criticism on this thread is aimed at how the club markets itself and how it could be a lot better.

Some folk are really making a hell of a lot out of not very much.

I don't think the fixture list helps very much - how long since the last game at Cougar Park? It's easy to see why any potential fans could lose interest, there's nowt happening TO support for long stretches of time!

Just for the record. When I mentioned freshening up the weekly JD video's, this was in no way aimed at Micky. What I meant (apologies if it read otherwise) was in essence a plea to the club to vary what was said, i.e some weeks give an insight into the work with schools, the next week about an attractive promotion etc. It wasn't a criticism of the production by Micky. I just felt for some weeks JD spoke about the same things. I said it before and I'll say it again, I love the concept and think it's a very innovative idea and credit to who's idea it was.

Come on guys, let's all stick together. It's difficult enough for the players to beat the opposition without the fans working against each other. The hall of fame night for me highlighted what a superb club we have. We all want the same thing so let's all be united and work together to achieve success.

The Micky Fans seem to have said it all.

As supporters we all want to see the club return to the hay day.
Micky has given a vehicle which adds insight and advertises our brand.

Dominance is right with his stick together bit above.
Together we can do quite a lot.

If everybody re posted on their FB, the videos, re tweeted them between the Fans of Cougars we must have most of Keighley on the Friends.

The club often has posters, ask for one and put it up in your village.

Take a neighbour, friend or their kids, granddad or a colleague along.

Free for Kids today and next Sunday. See if your kids, or grandchildren have a pal they want to take along.

Drink more beer. (My favourite)

Eat three burgers instead of two. (My second favourite)

Sad reality, the club has to choose if it should spend money on a full time commercial manager or players.

On a separate note combining role can work.
Player Coach seems to be going well for JD.

Might be that next time the club is in a position to take on a full time position they combine it as a player who could also be a commercial manager also. A larger than life character who can talk the talk through the week but also walk the walk at weekends.

I tried to persuade a mate to come down to today's game last night.

It went like this.





How many more potential fans like this are out there? We are living in hard times. It would be an interesting, albeit admittedly risky experiment to drop the admission price to £5 for a game, give it maximum publicity and see how many turn up.

Good job he didn't come then Stealth, if you promised him a cracker! that, it was not!
I agree though, dropping it to a fiver, or even seven or eight quid, for a game and really going to town on the atmosphere -steel band, or drums or summat lively at half time, face painting for kids, something going on in the bar before and after the game, little 'spot' prizes for fans who make up a new cougar chant - might make for a better matchday experience and convince a few new fans to come along regularly.
Or perhaps we could give Noel some free beer, and the announcer's job..?

Have to agree with your post Stealth.
I really do wonder what people are reading on this thread.

Or is it a case of certain people just using this thread to score points.
