Keighley Cougars average Home attendance in 2009 - 925
York City Knights average Home attendance in 2009 - 1086
Thats an extra £2k per game through the till, probably just enough to pay for little things like the tax man. Maybe your club should look at ways of making a few quid rather than spending what they obviously don't have.

But if you look more closely at the records for 2009 you will see that we reached and won a final 
I was told by a contact in York that it cost you over 2k/wk to keep re decorating graffitied toilets, replacing best linen table cloths, and maintaining acting lessons for fullbacks 
PS Most people will have every sympathy with what ratcliffe was apparently trying to do but not with the method he allegedly chose to do it. If you come onto someone elses website looking for an argument you will usually find one |

Population of York 174k
Population of Keighley 52k
Percentage of Population going to games.
York 0.62%
Keighley 1.78%
Professional Clubs within 25 mile radius of ground
York: Castleford, Leeds, Featherstone, Hunslet
Keighley: Halifax, Br*dford, Leeds, Batley, Dewsbury, Hunslet, Huddersfield, Castleford, Wakefield, Rochdale, Oldham not to mention 7 pro football clubs as well.
So despite being our [itown[/i being a third of the size of the [icity[/i of York and having 3 times as much competition as York do, our attendance is only 15% less than yours. I think it speaks volumes about how good the staff are at Cougar Park at bringing people in especially considering how badly the town's been hit by the recession.

With his ability to massage figures, I'd certainly recommend it. How about putting him in charge of Keighley Cougars 2009 Ltd's accounts? |

Even though neither club has anything to do with me I hate when people don't back up their statements, especially ones that are vehemently having a go.
So, I have to ask, what do mean by 'massage figures'? And if you think they're wrong and you're right, what figures do you come up with? |

He's always good for a laugh, though.
Why is there so much bile and envy coming from York fans in general? We don't seem to have this problem with any other fans.

He's good for laughing at.
The reason for them being jealous is simple.
Keighley, small working class town heavily reliant on a manufacturing industry that's fooked. However still has a relatively successful Rugby League team which revolutionised the entire sport 20 years ago.
York, a city with over 2000 years worth of history including the Romans, the Vikings and one of the most spectacular cathedrals in all of Europe. Full of rich middle class people and an economy relying on the millions of tourists travelling to buy the special hand designed linen tablecloths, known as Marchware, which are unique to the city. However York has a shambolic history when you consider they're the 6th largest city in England with a professional Rugby League team yet only around 3 out of every 500 inhabitants can be bothered to go and watch. |
