Anyone know where the best / safest place to sit / stand is on Saturday at Fev?

Re: Featherstone : Tue Jun 02, 2015 12:44 pm  

Main stand seats where players come out is fine.Wouldn't sit in seats opposite
although it was ok when segregated a couple of years ago.

In terms of safety, I'd like to think that the well-documented troubles of the past when the two clubs have played have simmered down & I wouldn't have thought there would be any segregation for this game. You can pretty much sit where you want at Post Office Road now, in recent seasons the bigger away followings such as Leigh & Fax tended to sit towards the right hand side (as you face the pitch) of the Family Stand but the two new stands are now operational so there are even more options for seating.

Is that stand in the far left corner as you look from Post office road now open ?
When under construction it didn't look to be facing the pitch....

On the game itself it's last chance saloon as far as i'm concerned if we are to achieve top 4.In all honesty i think we are 20% short of what we need to be and i'm sure RM will be addressing this as he can but this season is too soon.Our results
have been very predictable this season,win the games we should and lose all the
games that are 50/50 or expected to be tough.

There are two new stands - the larger one runs parallel to the try line/dead ball line at the railway end and the other, smaller new stand is next to the Family Stand, both of which face the main stand. The only building in the far left corner as you look from the Post Office Road end is the clubhouse (and yes, you can watch the game from there if you go for the hospitality option).

The best place to sit is the Railway End were the the new stand has been built , it's a good view and a nice little ground now,the burgers and chips are not bad which will suit Halifaxjohn,I can recommend the Fev Hotel for pre match drinks but as the sign says outside,NO FIREARMS ,so you will have to leave your guns outside.
As for the game should be a cracker,I would be there but we are in London for the weekend,anyway I'm going for a score of Fev 32 v Fax 16 ,you haven't beaten any of the top teams this season and I can't see a change on Saturday , sorry my Fax friends ,Fev are playing very good at the moment they have a very big mobile pack ,and some speedy backs.

That's the one if it now faces the main stand then ok.

Not sure where you got the idea the stand was facing the wrong way, but what the heck, I'm going to start a rumour that Ryan Verlinden's first task when he arrived from Australia was to pick it up and turn it the right way round

Didn't mean facing the wrong way it looked as though if you sat in the middle and looked forward you would have a great view of ......the railway terrace..
Maybe Mr.V did give it a few degrees shove and it has Mr. Carolis seal of approval now.
