I'm sure Barry Eaton knows what he's doing; Perhaps Tom Burton just needed to play alongside some more capable team-mates than he could find at York.

| Quote: John Ismiddle "I suspect it was more to do with the fact he knows Keighley are going to get most weeks, whereas he'll pick up more winning pay at York.'"
So he's signed for one of the stronger Championship 1 clubs as opposed to a Championship side because he thinks he'll make more money beating up on the likes of Workington, Rochdale and London Skolars as opposed to testing his skills against the likes of Halifax, Barrow and Widnes. Proves my point entirely.
Quote: John Ismiddle "Don't forget about Tom Burton though, he's brilliant at something I'm sure, cos he certainly wasn't any good at Rugby when he was at York.'"
That's because they don't play rugby in York, they just try to beat people up.
And besides he was good enough to be signed by a Super League club, they don't tend to sign players who aren't Championship 1 standard |

How did Daley Williams look in pre season? He missed a game or two if I remember correctly. |

Sugar Ray looked a class act against Saints 2nd string.
How's Glass Jaw Ratcliffe doing?
If he's as good at evading tacklers as he is with left hooks it's no wonder he's still at York. |

I reckon Daley will do just fine in the championship, even though it's a step up in skill and commitment from last year, when he was in championship one and playing lowly clubs like, er, York.
(tee hee!)

Keighley Cougars average Home attendance in 2009 - 925
York City Knights average Home attendance in 2009 - 1086
Thats an extra £2k per game through the till, probably just enough to pay for little things like the tax man. Maybe your club should look at ways of making a few quid rather than spending what they obviously don't have.

But if you look more closely at the records for 2009 you will see that we reached and won a final 
I was told by a contact in York that it cost you over 2k/wk to keep re decorating graffitied toilets, replacing best linen table cloths, and maintaining acting lessons for fullbacks 
PS Most people will have every sympathy with what ratcliffe was apparently trying to do but not with the method he allegedly chose to do it. If you come onto someone elses website looking for an argument you will usually find one |

Population of York 174k
Population of Keighley 52k
Percentage of Population going to games.
York 0.62%
Keighley 1.78%
Professional Clubs within 25 mile radius of ground
Yorktown[/i being a third of the size of the [icity[/i of York and having 3 times as much competition as York do, our attendance is only 15% less than yours. I think it speaks volumes about how good the staff are at Cougar Park at bringing people in especially considering how badly the town's been hit by the recession.
As for trying to bring money in you better look at this,

Is that the world's 5th largest brewing corporation we've just attracted as a sponsor? |
