To everyone going to the game a safe journey over and enjoy the game. However as John has already pointed out I can't make the game. But hope to meet up with my Fax friends at the Shay later in the year.

Just an advisory too:

Can't remember if it was in operation when you visited last year, but you can't now pay cash at the turnstile.

There's a ticket office in the car park where you need to go first. Don't leave it until the last 15 mins before kick off, the queue will be mahoosive.

Better still, buy them in advance from featherstonerovers.net

No offence,as it will probably end up that way everywhere,but i find this pointless and pathetic.

None taken, I get the logic behind it. Apparently money was leaking away and a significant number got into the Bradford game without paying, so the club introduced this to keep a tighter control.

Tbh it doesn't affect me as I have a season ticket, but I can understand the frustration of standing in a queue.

Backs against the wall mentality for Fev this season so it wont be easy especially given the form we have started the season in.

Re: Fev game Sunday : Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:15 pm  

expected fev side off their forum....plus potentially a couple of additional Leeds players

Hardman
Johnson
Tagg
Taulapapa
Turner
Milner
Craven
Griffin
Ellis
Bostock
Cording
Davies
Spears

Subs:

Day
Baldwinson
Ormondroyd
Cooper

Doesn't look to be a weak side and certainly not one to write off.
I think we have turned a corner though and I would fancy our chances on Sunday.
Its another must win game for us as we cannot afford to be four points behind them
and them having a game in hand. We have 2 or 3 home games after against 'supposed'
weaker sides so we have a real chance of getting back in the mix.

iirc Cooper is injured. Davies needs to pass the concussion test.

You've already got the only Loiner we are likely to get (Baldwinson). We could still be struggling to field a full team. There's only Jack Coventry available should Cooper or Davies (or both) be absent.

Think you are preaching to the converted on here.

One other thing for anyone coming over on Sunday that you should be aware of. The level crossings on Station Lane in Featherstone, which is just above Post Office Road are closed for gas works so you are unable to drive over the level crossings.

Re: Fev game Sunday : Fri Apr 01, 2016 1:07 pm  

Fax by 10 if the injury rumours are correct but they still look to have a decent team to put out. Had some good wins at home but hoping that we kick on after Monday though we weren't at our potential best we are still improving.
