you must have known you were going to get somebodys back up by saying you were loosing interest and glad we haven't got a game! Be better putting your point accross a little more diplomatically next time.

andrew andrew

and i quote you = it's his opinion which he's entitled to it

The club is turning into a joke! I cant believe that the 2 clubs arranged coaches and we pulled out. Do they want the team to win or not because if there was a lot more atmosphere and not so much moaning at the ref then we would maybe have done a lot better.

I went to fax vs widnes and stood with the Widnes fans and not one time di any 1 moan. They had a drum and the fans got 100% behind them. Thats why they won.

Cougars get a grip before you loose your fans.

with Helen in control of these matters I can quite confidently say there must have been good reason why this didn't happen, behind the scenes activity has been on the up for the last two years so instead of coming on here slagging off the club why don't you find some guts and ring the club, ask them why?

you want to read what the fax fans thought of the ref,he got slated,hense all was well with the widnes fans.As for the club "turning into a joke" as you put it,take a look around and see whats happening at other RL clubs before you put down YOUR team

In response to Captain Cougar, I was at the Dewsbury game, stood very near to the drummer and co, and would like to add that not many people were moaning too much about the ref, but lets be honest, it is what everyone does at every game. Rugby league is well known for shouts of getemonside lol and hallalula when they agree with the ref. Most of the fans were trying to support the team and cheering them on, although the drummer and co kept on shouting Silsden and singing songs to Barry Mcdermott neither were playing for cougars that day !!!!!!! Although I would like to see Barry doing so. As for calling the club a joke - well if you dont like it go, life is too short to watch things you dont like. Personally I think the club both on the pitch and behind the scenes is doing a great job trying to push itself into the community, certainly better than it has for the past 5 years. Dont get me wrong I am all for the drums and the dressing up, I remember how successfull it all was the first time round in 2000- 2006, them days it was so popular with the fans, the lads even had t-shirts about them printed and sold in the club shop. The difference was though they always cheered about the Cougars, enjoyed the day and sang a song about George Micheal. the Bulls and how the Cougars where the better team, for those who rememeber altogether now:
George Micheals a wizard he wears a wizards hat...................

So hold on a min u are saying that us "so called drummers and co" sing about other things. George Micheal isnt nothing to do with the cougars. As for life being to short to watch things i dont like then i think you miss understanded me. I love watching the cougars and getting behind them and also bringing a bit of fun into it like cheering for Silsden and trying to get barry macdermot to wave at us.

Its the club side i dont like. Not enough is been done to bring more fans down and get behind the lads. For example 2 kids turned up to the walk from town. What does that say. Also a few months ago one of the cubs sides were suppose to play a curtain raiser but was cancelled when they got there.

To bring money into the club you need to attract kids who will bring their parents who will want club merchandise etc. You just have to look around the terreces to see that this isnt happening.

As for the quote about the fax fans moaning at the ref i stood in the fax end the first half and was that appauled by them fans moaning at the ref that i swopped ends. It reminded me of being at the cougars.

As for the response of "take a look at other clubs". I have been to every home and away match for the last 4 years and i could name more than 10 clubs that have a better match day experience than the cougars. Barrow and Oldham and york beeing at the top.

so come on then captain cougar who's at fault?Caus I've been watching for 27 years and have to say that the club behind the scenes are trying all sorts of things to get more support down, Helen and her crew work tirelessly in the efforts to push us forward, again I say if your so miffed ring em up, ask em why your needs are not being met and I'll keep on cheering on the lads.!

Exactly my point andrew to many people been going down for too long as you say 27 years and yes the club do need fans like you amoung others but there is not enough new people going. Who many new fans come on here or do you see at the game? You hear a lot of rumours or things that maybe happening but the crowed is still exactly the same.

I will try to write the song then, but it may get removed for being offensive I am sorry if it offends anyone:
George Micheal is a wizard, he wears a wizards hat,
He saw a fella in the park and said I fancy that,
he went into the toilet, he faniced a quick pull,
But before he could undo his zip he was up a bradford Bull.
Keighley, Keighley were the barmy cougar army and we come from Keighley.
If you need anymore song suggestions I can ask the originals for the lyrics.
