I think reaching out to fans of other clubs is a very good idea and hopefully this will be a success.

I was talking a long time fan of Keighley today. I told him about this offer.

He said to me, "when do i bloody get in for a fiver?"

What do you want me to tell him?

Personally I think trying ways to get new supporters watching the cougars can only be god.

The long time supporter does raise a valid point however other clubs try various ways to get new fans so why not the cougars.

As a suggestion perhaps the club could do a promotion for the fans like the long term fan or any other fan by targeting a game for example Gateshead type where there is minimal away support and make it a £5 for everyone.

Whether feasible or not is for club to decide because at the end of the day they have to make money.

Let's hope we won't be playing Gateshead next season - that is unless it's in a single 'Championship' division!

I can understand existing fans being upset at folk getting in for a fiver but look at the big picture, this has created alot of interest amongst Wakey fans and I would say between 25 & 50 may come along , That will increase your income, more in the pot so to speak for JD to spend on new players to the benefit of Keighley fans. For interest what refreshment facilities do you have within Cougar park ? Is the nearest pub with food the one on the left on the last roundabout of the dual carriageway from Bingley ?

That's the nearest pub with food. Although the Stockbridge Arms is nearby, take the 4th exit on that roundabout and it's about 300 yards on the left.

We've a decent sized bar inside the ground

Thanks for that

Good on ya Feline , bring as many as you can with you !! The Toby inns pub - the beeches - does a cracking carvery.....think it's about 7 quid on a Sunday....well worth a visit pre match.

Thanks for that. My son was born in Keighley so have always had a soft spot for them , in fact he is 21 on 8 Sept so another reason to come over that weekend. Of course all Wakey fans also have a soft spot for JD.

Wish I could make it but unfortunatly I have something else on that was booked last year.JD was a great player for Wakey and I for one would have loved to come along to give him something back.I hope he gives the Keighley fans as much as he gave the Wakey fans and if he can you are in for a very good ride.

Any news on the other 2 offers yet?

another 3 fans coming hoping to bring a 4th as well, Wheres the best place to park guys? as im the responsible none drinking type im driving us to the game, hope to see a Keighley win and a JD try would top it off!

i'll be there with 3 more

I am coming - what type of beer is on sale in your bar? Is it real ale?

Off the top of my head there's Coors, Carling, Magners, Worthingtons, and the real ale on tap is usually Black Sheep.

Looking forward to Sunday. JD's a great bloke and don't know of any Wakey fans who wouldn't wish him well. Will be there in our Wakey colours.

You can park on the road on Royd Ings Avenue (see map on website), should have no problems - or there is a carpark for a small fee. Please dont park in the entrance to the industrial units opposite the gates as you may be clamped. Dont want to dampen your Cougar experience. XXXX

Stealth do you always put your beers on the top of your head???

I'll bring a couple with me, not been to Cougar Park for a while and if we can support JD we will.

No, but it has been known for them to go straight to my head rather quickly.

Can I just say thanks for a really good day out... I have a friend who lives close by to keighley who is a wakey fan and we both made it down... My honest opinion would be when the trin are not playing I'd love to make it down to show you guys support... Many thanks and onwards and upwards for keighley !

A great Keighley welcome and thanks to all those that came across. You are welcome anytime x
