A great achievement to end the season as Champions and gain promotion for the Keighley amateur RL team to the top division of the Pennine league. If Keith and everybody else involved could be given a little support in continuing to develop and improve the amateur and junior RL game in the Keighley area, it would be a further way to help re-establish Keighley as an RL Town - in addition to what Gary Fawcett is working for at the Cougars.

Excellent thought but sadly isn't going to happen. There are lots of reasons why and I wont bore you with them. Most SOLID rugby (of either code) areas are seeing dwindling participation and the new developments are not taking up the slack.
Consider that Keighley's largest ever attendance was in the early 1950's and was around 14500.
Extrapolate as to why it has never progressed from that and is unlikely to in the future.

I thought you had vowed to stop posting?

There is an interesting thread on the VT about falling attendance complete with the usual squabbles from the usual people.

Hasn't football declined in that time period also?
1948/9 season = 41.2 Million
2011/2 season = 16.5 Million

Too many other affordable distractions plus the rise of personal transport.

Anyway, back on thread - well done Keith Dixon, I can still remember him doing the "high step" down the wing to beat an incoming ankle tap and scoring a wonderful try (can't remember against who) then the theme of "cotton eyed Joe" ringing out around Cougar Park.
