The Keighley Cougars can now officially confirm the fixture list for the forthcoming 2015 Kingstone Press League One campaign.

With no action in February, and March set aside for the early rounds of the two cup competitions, the Cougars league campaign will start on Good Friday when York City Knights will be the visitor’s to Cougar Park.

The following week will see the club make it’s first ever visit to the Hemel Stags. This season will also bring first ever meetings against not only the Stags, but also the Coventry Bears, Oxford RL and the Gloucestershire All Golds for Keighley.

This season also welcomes the League One Cup, a revamped format of the former Northern Rail Cup, which will see it's First Round, Quarter Finals and Semi Finals played alongside the Challenge Cup's Third & Fourth Round in March.

The League 1 Cup, which features all 14 League 1 clubs plus 2014 Conference Challenge Trophy winners West Hull and another National Conference League team who are yet to be confirmed, climaxes with the final at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool on Saturday May 23 as part of the Summer Bash, a weekend where each Championship club will play a fixture at the same ground.

Whoopee do

When can we look forward to the league one cup draw?

Is this cup included in the season ticket?

How unexciting does this new season look.

Well we are where we are and it will be good to hopefully see us winning games and being at the top end of the table

Positivity, that's the spirit, if you want to watch then watch, if you don't then don't, simples

I am looking forward to these matches, but I still believe we should slap an injunction on the Rfl if they continue to play hard ball (and if we have a good legal case of course). They have done everything possible to throw obstacles in front of us and I think we owe them one back.

We all know the quality and intensity will be less than last year, but it's still rugby folks! I am interested in these new clubs.

If we're being so positive, who do you fancy in the challenge cup? ...... Warrington away, do 'em this time!

So, from the fixture list, the only far away team we're not playing away is Oxford? Is this a setup?

We knew we had to play four of the six away for definite, was a bit of shock when we saw we had to play a fifth away and not York.

But, if I'm honest I'd rather play a South Wales twice rather than York. Better chance of six points from six.
