Would any one care to give me a idea of how many people have stopped going down because of our link with Cas?

There is a very big difference in your point.
At work people will put up with a lot as they have to get paid.
When people are spending there own money they can stop spending it at any time.

So any one who doesnt have your point of view should stop commenting on the club and go somewhere else.

Or have i misunderstood your point?

I know of a few but up to them to put themselves forward on here.



Fair comment but i was just merely pointing something out thats all

No, they should keep slating the club on forums and stay away. Just keep jabbing away online.
It does the Club they are supporting no end of good.

No but chaps like yourself return would put extra funds in the bank.

Are people enjoying their time away from attending the rugby?

It looks like you have added 4 and 4 together and got 5 as the answer. The link up with Cas has nothing to do with me not going.

So if people just stay away and not say anything on forums. How will the club understand why people have stopped going.

I am sure the Club know how you feel Jim and I am sure they appreciate all your negative posts and comments.
It will no doubt spur them on.

All those giving there time for nothing, or still paying and supporting the club, or investing in it, or collecting injuries on the Field will also appreciate your public negativity.

Without it they would think the world is still all fine and dandy.

Glad to hear the club know about how i feel. Its a good job i posted my feelings on here. Otherwise they wouldn't have a clue.



Look back over my so-called negative posts and see who and what it is aimed at.
Maybe others have there eyes open and can see its not aimed at any of the things you have mentioned.
After saying that dont let it stop using it to have a dig at me or others.



Glad to hear that some still think the world of rugby league is all, fine and dandy. Some like me can really see what is happening.

Funny how you think people who don't agree with you have there eyes shut.



Or can't see some wood because of some trees.

Pan, kettle, black, bum, shiny. you know the rest.................no doubt you will have heard it before

Have not got a clue what that meant. Maybe now I can't even see the tree or the wood.

You believe that decisions of the clubs elite should be absolute.

You believe that any decision made by the clubs elite should not be called in to question publicly
and be abided by regardless.

You believe it's ok to suppress any dissenting voices by using sarcastic, patronising and insulting language.

According to your Facebook you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Margaret Thatcher.

Are you a distant relative of Benito Mussolini?

I am guessing there is still fans who can't be bothered to back the club.

Why don't these ex fans find something else to do rather than post crap on here?

Guess who you can pass the admin duties onto me if you like I'll do a good job



Mon the cougars.

So where have I said all these things I believe? A bit libelous that.
I just don't like the realms of negative posts from people who don't go anymore.
They are entitled to their opinion as am I and I think it is damaging the Club.
The name of the thread is Time to Back the team.
I don't believe I insult you, but this year Stealth I rarely agree with you.
For years you have been a critical friend of the Club, but this season when you don't go, you have
nothing but negativity to say.

Now you have had a go at me for being insulting, you have a go yourself.
I think you will obviously recall I made one post about Baroness Thatchers family having the right
to bury their Grandmother in peace. The post was on for a couple of days and went viral and I took
it off. How is that an unhealthy obsession ?

The last comment does not even merit a reply.
Are you questioning my relatives?

Perhaps you would like to expand further.

Now, now Stealth, a bit personal - anyway, you know that Mussolini couldn't use a camera

(Hitler, on the other hand....

)

I for one am prepared to accept that an independant forum is the place for debate such as this. Far better that people object to the directors, coach and players on here than shouting at them in public. At least the forum has an AUP and moderators to enforce it.

Free speech cuts many ways, sometimes you agree, sometimes you don't. At least you have the opportunity to offer a different point of view.

When things are going as badly as they are then the club, coach and players should expect a bit of stick on here. In fact, they should be surprised if there isn't any.

Personally, I like to keep things reasonable, but I can understand how some people get carried away with wanting the club to do well, although if they make extreme posts they should expect the same coming back at them.

People are angry and express this anger, but we all want the same thing [size=150the club to do as well as it possibly can[/size.

some people on here seem very bitter about certain things with the club, RFL, etc.
NEGATIVITY wont do anybody really any good, I have to admit that when I haven't attended a game, I don't comment on it as I wasn't there to see what has happened or see the players play.
Stealth Comic which from I understand you don't go to the games and won't set foot in any ground that is duel reg, making a stand isn't going to make RFL to change the rules and since DP taken on coach at Castleford he may not want the link. Would you say then that you come down to the club?

Which ex fans are you talking about?



The one thing i cannot do is pass you the admin duties. If your not happy with them you need to talk to them.
As me doing the moderators job

i am very happy where i am thanks

As we can see from this thread. People have very mixed and strong views on certain subjects.

I ask one and all to think before posting. Write your post but take a minute or two to read it again and think about it before posting.

Lets keep within the AUP and lets all play nicely please.

I am talking aboit the ex fans who no longer back theclub, i know your due a return soon



As for the mod issue, your doing just fine.

Maybe the club and the RFL need to be finding out why, long time fans are walking away from the game.



Why thankyou

Firstly i'd like to say I went beyond what was acceptable with what I posted last night. However, I do believe you are aiming insults in my direction when using language and memes involving words such as "Keyboard Warrior". Also you have had a tendency to use phrases such as "END OF" in posts which would insinuate that you'd like suppress other users' right to reply. That said likening you to a fascist dictator who was responsible for many atrocities and breaches of human rights was, despite a lack of sleep and being on prescription drugs, a very poor lack of judgement on my part. I apologise.

Whenever I post I always like to give a balanced, fair and constructive opinion based on what I see. If it is good, I will say so, if it isn't, likewise. In all truth there really hasn't been anything positive of note coming out of the club all season hence why it appears i'm coming across as negative.

Further i'd like to add that on an another thread I had a dig at Harry-Al-Hill a few days ago for being patronising. Again I believe this may have been poor judgment on my part. Knowing Al as I do, on occasions whilst communicating he can appear to come across as patronising and condescending although it is my firm belief that this is not intentional. On initial viewing of the thread involved, again whilst on some steroids, it appeared that 2 or 3 members of the Walk for Estelle team were ganging up on other users in what could have been construed as bullying. If I was mistaken then I apologise.



To answer your question fairly and honestly, I genuinely don't know.

The truth is the feeder club system being brought in was not the only reason I stopped going, it was the straw that broke the Camel's back so to speak. For about a year or so going to games got very monotonous, the same people were talking about the same old things and it was getting tedious, almost like being at a Working Mens Club with a great big field round the back of it. Some of the friendships I had with those I went to games with had become strained.

Initially when the feeder club system came in I made the conscious decision not to got to any away games against a club adopting it for reasons i'm not going to go in to for the 100th time. When the Keighley board decided, after the season had already started, to go with Cas my hand was forced. I'd have been a rank hypocrite to not go to away games adopting the same system but turn up and pay in at Cougar Park. So I took the time to write to the RFL and the Club's board of directors outlining why I couldn't bring myself to go to games. I got a very considered response from the RFL. However for whatever reason, I never received a reply from the club.

The amount of hostility I have received for walking away has been ridiculous. I knew from the outset that there would be those who remain loyal to the club, take Harry-Al Hill for example. He has much as anyone has a vested interest in the club, I can only applaud the fantastic support that the club has given towards the Walk For Estelle campaign, a truly worthy cause. I'd expect him to remain loyal, I'd guess 3/4 or so of the amount of money raised could be attributed to the club in some way, shape or form. I genuinely respect that. The amount of hostility I have received from some people including some on here for walking away has been ridiculous. Why can't they respect my decision? It's as if i've said something bad about their mothers. I've been to one game this season, Fax away. I couldn't bring myself to go on the terraces and stand with the rest of the Keighley fans for not wanting to hear the abuse i'd get from admittedly a few narrow minded people. Instead, I sat in the stand, by myself. If Darryl Powell does knock the agreement on the head, do I really want to go through that game after game?

Firstly I would like to apologise to my husband Al for logging on here whilst he is out walking. This is his wife Angela, as many of you know me. As I only view these forums as a guest to see whats happening as I really dont do forums.

Now after reading this thread I was very disappointed and angry more so towards Mick Scott Jr aka Stealth Comic, you can scream and shout all you like on here, but I really do NOT wish for you to bring my charity "A Walk For Estelle" onto this thread and use it in any way or form for your excuses on here. Very very DISAPPOINTED Mick!!!!

"On initial viewing of the thread involved, again whilst on some steroids, it appeared that 2 or 3 members of the Walk for Estelle team were ganging up on other users in what could have been construed as bullying. If I was mistaken then I apologise."

Please dont use your medications as your excuse, if it sends your mind loopy, dont comment as I see Guess who has made a statement about posting! :-

"I ask one and all to think before posting. Write your post but take a minute or two to read it again and think about it before posting."

I think this thread had now run its course.
