Fev lost in everyway.......................................................

No need for that comment mate, like every club there are good people at their club as well.
I'm still gutted by the whole of the end of match troubles.

It's as much relevance as a brawl at King's cross mate.

Top post by Pencil. My feelings exactly.

I have done a lot of soul searching in the last 3 days. My initial feeling was that I am done with Featherstone Rovers. Too embarassed. We do not deserve a club.

However, having given it some thought I will not let the idiots win. Real Featherstone fans now need to double our efforts to promote the club and root out the evil. We need to be ambasseders for our club. Talk is cheap let's have some action... are you with me Fax fans? I actually wish we were playing each other again next week.... I think several hundred fans from both clubs taking some sort of united stance and wearing t-shirts with a slogan on would send a real strong message. We could then pair up and sit/stand together in all parts of the ground.

Directors, stewards etc can do so much. It would be much more powerful if supporters could come together.

As a member of the Halifax Supporters Trust board do you have a similar group at Fev? Perhaps we could get together and do a joint statement, a show of solidarity that we can maybe get published in each local rag? I don't know what difference we'd initially make but a show of support for each other could go a long way? I'm happy to talk to anyone if they wish?

[quote="marillion man"
I got a PM a few days prior to the game from a Fev supporter who I've never met before, questioning something I'd posted previously about Fev fans going to Blackers for the final. I made a point of having a drink with him at HT in the Lagoon bar during thursdays game and although the chat was too brief ( and the drink ! ) he and others in there were more than welcoming and I'm sure we both felt that inroads were being made into the animosity that has been developed by other people. The problem is, it wasn't me or Fevgrinder who were causing bother after the game.....
What a bleedin shame a great night was ruined for so many of us. We'll end up there in the play-offs, I can feel it coming.
Great post Pencil, I'm sorry your son had to see such horrors.

MM was really good to meet you, and your right it's not us that are causing the trouble, but I still believe we are part of the solution. As you know I refuse to get involved in this tic-4-tac nonsense, but its fair to say it was a great shame that a fantastic game of rugby was spoilt by the few.

PS I told you we end up meeting in the Grand final that's the way of fate, though at this point in time i hope we don't for all the wrong reasons!

Next time , needs an anouncement from both clubs that no violent or aggressive behaviour will be tolerated , Fev need to make it clear to their stewards what is expected as regards identifying the troublemakers , a small but conspicuous police presence , and both clubs to do all they can to ensure a large following from Fax , the Fev support to go out of their way to show the few idiots that their time is up

The good guys need to reclaim their club

That is a good idea Chris and one of the best ways of moving on from this is to learn a very important lesson from it and never let it happen at our club.
I think a few volunteers from the Trust doing a meet and greet type thing with any visiting fans starting with Batley would be a good idea .
Also anyone breaking the "respect rules " or showing agression toward anyone be they home supporters or away should be quickly thrown out.We must show the rest of the rugby league family it will not be tolerated at Fax.

facts

fev against halifax grand final fax fan almost killed
fev against leigh post office road trouble leigh coaches escorted from ground by police
fev against Barrow trouble during and after game
fev against halifax nrc semi trouble after game polic on hand

and the common denominator is??????

went to watch fax under 23s at fev this year despite the small crowd I was threatened by fev fans at the end, presumnably cos our under 23s won the game in the very last minute

and thats no to mention but i will the number of pubs at warrington who refused fev "fans"admission to their pubs on grand final day but let fax fans in

that at the health and safety meeting prior to GF police who said they had prior knowledge of fev fans in warrington decided to have police dogs on hand "as they'd probably be needed"

I too have persuaded most of my family to support the team i love but now two of the younger members refuse to come if feathrstone are playing, as at the shay this season they were reduced to tears by the fev fans in the east stand. . this is the next generation of supporters who are being frightned off by a mindless few, although there seemed to be more than a few at the shay!!

i too will never ever go to post office road again it just not worth it there may only be a few of the hooligans in their crowd but they are tolerated by the rest. . if fev want of get rid of the hooligans its not just the officials who need to move them on. . . those on here who say they are fev fans also need to help identify them and make sure they know they are not welcome. whatever the protests from fev fans on here David Singer was beaten almost to death and still no one has been arrested. . having got away with that why should those involved be scared of being shopped

Thankyou for saying exactly what most of us are thinking.
It would appear it's not only me who has been hit and threatened by so called Fev fans..
