Re: Who's actually going to Fev away ? : Sat May 14, 2011 3:39 pm  

Im not going. my lad asked if we were going and I've had to say no. No disrespect to the normal Fev Fans, but when a club is providing secure car parking for away fans private cars and supporters coaches, then saying that they will keep the away fans behind until the home supporters have left, tells me that the home club is as worried about trouble happening as we are.

Perhaps the Fev board should apply to play their games in the Football Championship League so their fans can fight all they want with the other morons who spoil the round ball game. It makes me sad to think that me and my son cant go watch Fax because of the worry of violence. This RL not Football

I will never set foot inside that ground until they take some action on bringing the idiots to justice that attacked the Halifax fan. Someone in their community knows who they are and the Featherstone club appear incapable or unwilling to ask their fans to act in the appropriate way and help take the individual/s off the street. Sorry for their true genuine fans but im not putting the health of my family and friends at risk.

Got to agree with this post , I am not going either as the very idea that you should be shepherded in and out and then have to be kept behind so the home team fans get away smacks of football. I don`t want any part of that carry on , what Fev should do is hire a few police every match to catch and then ban for life anyone causing trouble. If it costs the Club money then so be it , if they had nipped it in the bud some time ago it wouldn`t be escalating to this somewhat distastful situation.

I guess the "thugs" have won. By not going they have won and rugby has lost, I will not let that happen so I will be going.

To me the plans put in place by Fev for the away fans are ill-conceived and could be said to be inviting trouble. The yobs are effectively having the away fans and their vehicles pointed out to them, thus reducing the risk of them targeting their own fans by mistake. The Fax fans held back at the end of the match will just be sitting ducks to any missile throwing or otherwise aggressive yobs.

Where has the spirit of friendliness in rugby league gone, particularly in Featherstone?

I wont be going either. Shame, because in many respects Rovers is a nice little club.

Re: Who's actually going to Fev away ? : Sat May 14, 2011 7:12 pm  

Not going like the majority of Fax fans that I know, in fact I don't know any that would normally go who are.
The reason?
A still very poorly man still in Pinderfields is why.
Its a boycott because the mindless few are still a good number at Fev and following the antics of those at The Shay this season I do not believe they will be any better at Post Office Road tomorrow but more of them.
Many also don't feel like lining the pockets of a club that still do not do enough to deal with this issue and condemn these morons to make it unacceptable.
Sorry you decent Fev fans but that is the way it is, don't tell us they have won and all that please respect our decision, thanks.

Re: Who's actually going to Fev away ? : Sat May 14, 2011 7:16 pm  

Well i hope those that make the trip over enjoy the day/game and hopefully can post a decent thread about it, as most of us at Fev wont really know if it was ok as we will have gone by then, i hope it is a positive experience

As said hopefully some of you might change your minds for the semi final

With you going to the bottom of the league there is a bit of added spice now on the pitch

When was the last time trouble broke out at a game at Post Office Road? There has been one isolated incidentt, away from the ground, of a gang of young idiots throwing stones at a coach. They hadn't even been to the game. The last time there was any sort of disturbance in the ground was in the 1980's when HKR used to visit.

The club has done everything within its power to help find the culprit who assaulted and badly injured David after the Grand Final. Arrests were made but the Police had to let them go due to lack of concrete evidence. What more does anyone think the club can do? Every club has a tiny minority of disruptive idiots, Leigh brought more than their share a few weeks ago so they shouldn't point the finger at anyone. No doubt Fax have a few as well. As I say I've not seen any trouble at a Rovers home game since the eighties and there won't be any on Sunday either. 99.9% of Featherstone Rovers fans will welcome you all to our home and I'm sure it would be reciprocal at the Shay.

You shouldn't miss out, it looks like being an absolute corker.
