Bottom 5 go to make way for the wonderful new league structure.

I'm going to say I'll sign the petition but unfortunately I doubt it'll do much.

I agree with FA it needs a court case to expose this lot.

Bottom five? How does that work? Do they not need 12 teams in the league next year?
I still don't get it!

Ironically the RFL fans survey dropped into my email box yesterday too. They want to know how well they're doing, and what the fans think of them! I hope whoever reads mine isn't easily offended. I should imagine there's slim chances of the results ever being published, but I don't imagine their approval ratings from BD postcodes will be that high.

yes: 14 plus 2 superleague demoted plus one Ch1 promoted minus 5 Ch demoted = 12.

Signed.

Though I share the view of others that it won't work. If petitions actually did anything they'd be illegal.

I do feel it's only right that the RFL know peoples' feelings though, but I guess they are in full defensive mode right now.

Incidentally, I disagree with the view that ALL keighley fans are against the Bulls - a few keyboard warriors is far from all Keighley fans and in any case, what is wrong is wrong, whoever is involved and this is plain wrong.

Re: Keighley Cougars : Wed Sep 10, 2014 11:45 am  

Also signed. It's wrong. It's funny, but it's wrong.

Re: Keighley Cougars : Wed Sep 10, 2014 11:57 am  

signed. If theres evidence others broke the rules why arent the RFL testing that evidence by punishing those clubs, then appointing the same members to the appeal tribunal that would be bound to follow. if they approved the appeal they would then have to rescind their previous decision, if they upheld the punishment they would have to rescind their previous decision. But no doubt there's special circumstances that allow the RFL to do what they want and *** to being fair. A cheats charter.

You're probably forgetting that York have been promoted.

Oh I know that, but off this site I know 3 Keighley fans in the real world, all three hate us and have not been backwards in telling me so this past year and how much they enjoyed our relegation. So 100% of the Keighley fans I know are against the Bulls.

But I have signed the petition, despite it having zero chance to change anything, as like you say, this is just plain wrong from the rfl as far as I can see, and I hope its put right, despite the possible benefit to Keighley
