Can't remember why it went wrong at Keighley?

Not sure pop tart but they had brilliant support ,

They spent a lot of money chasing the dream and the dream was snatched away from them just as it was about to become reality.

It went wrong when Sheffield sold Daryl Powell to them as they fully expected to go into super league they weren't and interest waned and debts mounted. I think people in charge of Sheffield new they weren't going to get into super league but the money helped them. I thought it stunk then and still do.

Sorry pops but you're wrong they lifted it totally from Keighley. At the inception of SL the Cougers were getting nearly the same crowds as both ourselves and Bradford whilst still in division 2 it was hardly small scale!

Had Keighley been given the chance of SL which they should have been because they were top of div 2 and due promotion. I'm sure if they had got their share of the SL bounty they may well have done a Bradford.

I think your being very dismissive as Cougermania was very big news at the time but is now pretty much written out of SL and Bradford mythology. The concept may have come from Chicago but it arrived at Bradford via Keighley who did all the road testing and hard work.
