There's a few I know who havent been to fev for a couple of years making the trip this time.

I've been since the Warrington incident, and I'm pretty sure that game wasn't segregated, I wasn't at the NRC game when it kicked off due to been in Spain at the time, and I missed last years fixture due to my shift pattens,

Hopefully this weekend's game can be remembered for the right reasons, Fev are going to raise their game, as every team would when taking on a team in Halifax's current position. But I think its a fair assessment that all teams in our league raise the bar when they face Fax, Fev, Sheffield, Leigh and maybe Batley.

Fev have a tough task backing up last weeks game at London, playing SL opposition is bound to have an effect on even the best drilled teams, but i'm sure they'll be prepared, this game will be one they've highlighted as wanting to win, especially if they are to gain ground on us in the league table.

I think if Fax play the way we have been, we have a great chance of taking the 3pts away, not bothered if we win by 4 or 40, but I do think we could push on and deny them a bonus point.

I'll stick my neck out and say

Fev 18
Halifax 38

Attendance of over 3000, fev have been drawing good gates lately and this is a "box office" fixture in this league.

If you see some fellow Fax/Fev fans being pillocks then dont be ashamed to tell them to cool it. Both clubs have fans that sadly could behave better. Hopefully all is OK but it just takes one idiot to spoil it for everybody.

Tough game, but feel Fax pack will be the differance, especially Tonks, Barlow and Ambler.

Lets have a memorable game for all the right reasons and the Referee G Stokes has as well

Perfect ref for Fev, Stokes loves a slow PTB but with his imminent promotion to SL on the cards hopefully he ill have had a word in his ear to tell him to quicken things up.

Would have loved us to have Hewer for this one as he takes no nonsense off Fev.

The stand holds 1600 so my math says half is 800, now we all know last season you brought 190 I very, very much doubt you will bring 800

I was one of the 190 last season with 2 kids and my brother. This year there are 16 of us booked on to Neils charabanc.

I also know of a group of c20 who are on the train who didn't attend last year, and also two sets of family friends who have stayed away to date will be travelling by car.

I think there is a feeling in Fax that it's time to move on, and what better time to do it than when Fax are playing very well and will need our support.

As for predictions, I predict it won't be as one sided as last year, and my kids will need to ask me at some point what w@nkyfax means

Have to agree with most of that but if you win I think it will be the backs that are the difference our pack certainly hasn't been the problem this season ( although we will miss James )
