Thanks Vikingman.

What's parking like these days ???. Last time I went we parked on someones shop front for a fiver.

Try and get there in decent time and park up by McDonalds (not in but the road opposite). It's a 5-10 minute walk up to the stadium.

cheers thanks for that.

I think you can still park on the shopfront if you are early enough but I'd save a fiver and park on either the college carpark on Caldwell Road (5 - 10 mins walk) which is down past the ground and left at The Cricketers pub and then 2nd or 3rd right at the shop/chippy or street parking around the ground.

Safe trip all. See you Sunday

.

Looking forward to it - can't wait!

Weather looks bad for tomorrow,could be called off.

No chance of that mate, only a sprinkling of rain today.

We cannot do with another game off, can the pitch not be covered with brollys if they have no covers

A bit of rain and mud won't hurt, as long as it doesn't freeze solid.

full time

widnes 72 keighley 10

Were we that bad or are Widnes that good?

Gonna be a long slog.

Couldn't have been much worse could it?

Pop!

you tried your best,but where completely outgunned by a widnes team without 6-7 first team players keep your chins up would love to see you do ok this year..

They were way too good for us and bordering Super League standard IMO

They were far too big for us and we got bullied

Only thing we can take from it is that our head's didn't drop until 5 mins from time.

We must sort our discipline out big time. Good field position from giving away penalties must have cost us at least 30 points.

3,500

you wish

Why do we wish, check out the average over recent years before spouting rubbish. Granted today was down on that but it will be back up to the norm in a couple of weeks.


As for the Cougar fans in attendance today chins up folks, you need to make Cougar Park a Fortress.

Your Avg over recent yrs points to a downward trend, no rubbish just fact!

down just a bit (800)

Man United in the League Cup Final will have had a massive impact on this. Don't get too excited about it, you’re still nowhere near us yet.

600 - thats not a country mile

Downward trend?

Cant wait until we meet.

This is also the Keighley board.

stop writing tripe on it then

To the cougar fans not at the game today whilst outgunned the players made a fantastic effort and should be proud of themselves they came up against a cracking team that will do well.

We will not be playing teams of their quality week in week out.

Heads up everyone.

Ronnie Laughton went off at half time ans was replaced some say he was injured others say he was arrested for impersonating a referre

It got the biggest cheers of the afternoon.

I think "blown away" is the phrase I'm looking for.

They dominated down the middle and shredded our right wing - man for man bigger, faster, stronger.

Their size advantage allowed them to push us off in the collision and they always gave second effort to make extra yards or break free. They either looked for the offload or went down on their faces to get fast PTB.

To our great credit we never gave up and the very few times we had them on the backfoot we actually looked good. Most of our players found it hard to make extra yards from the collision (except germaine who made some really great runs and perhaps Brendan). We need to generate second phase ball to open up defences and also need to learn when to go down fast to get a quick play the ball.

The players just looked overawed in the first 15 mins and showed Widnes far too much respect.

We gave away to many silly penalties and committed too many unforced errors.

Big, big learning curve.

I think we might see some big defeats this year but I also think we will produce some shocks - we need to make cougar park a fortress. I just hope that some of the fringe fans are not put off, we need support, especially at home.
