I was at the grand final with my 6 year old daughter and as your fans were moved from one stand to another the intimidating, aggressive and provocative behaviour of a large proportion of your fans was a disgrace, so you can hardly talk. You seem to think you have the moral high ground just because one of your fans ended up seriously hurt and that the behaviour of your fans is acceptable.

Not at all and i dont condone that behaviour but seriously is that every other club are the bad ones bcos it seems to happen at Fev more than anywere? and its not been the same travelling fans its kicked off with?
so you tell me? maybe its not your regular rugby league fans but if these guys are giving your club a bad name then why not report them? because there giving what i believe to be a good rugby club a VERY BAD NAME!

Well rugbyball, all I will say is well done on playing peace keeper, its people like you fev fans and the leigh fans like you who stopped and ugly scene getting even worse. I will criticise your stewards though. IMO they really were poor today, one woman was more concerned about lighting a fag when a fight was literally right in front of her. Both clubs have their nutters and well, its a good job the normal ones were there today.

I would tend to agree with you, that the stewarding at fev is poor, I guess its a matter of trying to save money. Not sure what one woman could have done, but I get your point. And if Im really honest I think the club do need to make some louder noises on trying to stamp out trouble. One last thought is it usually takes two to tango

One final point I might make is this effectively the problem was down to TWO people in my view not a whole load of fans, Who ever through the ale at folk and the fan that retaliated! then what happens someone jumps into protect a mate and some one jumps into protect him before you know it you have a scene, I dodged a few punches myself pulling folk apart and should i have got hit who knows I may have thrown one (in defence), I am trying to illustrate how these thing escalate when actually caused by a very small minority of two. All the trouble after that was caused by the that incident and tempers being raised.

Yeah, very valid point. It does take 2 to tango. Ruined an execllent match. It won't stop me from going to Fev again. I just hope that ugly scenes like that today don't become repetitive.

These people need to be caught and punished severly if its only a minority how come they are aloud to keep causing trouble? Why are they not caught and baned or better publicly floged. The sad thing is at Warrington it was not a minority of fev fans as we was in wetherspoons which was full of yobs intimidating and insulting us for dareing to turn up in fax colours and to support our team.

Can you explain why there were young lads standing near the coach with golf balls in their hands waiting for us to leave ?

Not making this up , the stewards pointed them out to me

It was still a minority cos im guessing you can not fit 3000 people in wetherspoons!!! And same applies to your fans when moving ends plenty of them goading.

I agree! however, this happend in the very enclosed space at the top of the Post office road terrace and made for a very uncomfortable exit. like I said I actually helped split it up, my point is people making out its all fev fans fault is just plain wrong, as I said I was covered in ale myself and ignored it, the fact is that some of the leigh supporters were acting like ten men as they were in a crowd and to be honest thought they could say what they wanted and didnt really expect to be confronted as that whole end was Leigh and at the time only a few few fans were passing, they were wrong as was the guy who retaliated.

Well I wasn't there so I can't really comment, but i'll just echo what Tom G said in well done in stepping in. No doubt something will be done now, well hopefully.

simply ignoring the facts and making out its a minority all the time? if it is a minority then u as a featherstone fan will want this to stop?
youve blatently made more than one excuse rather than exceptin you have some complete idiots following your team giving good fans like yourself a bad name whats worse is these ppl keep having fans like yourself constantly having to protect the good name of your club because of a 'minority' if i was u and i had fax had this problem then id want these guys out!!
