Thank you my point exactly, some sense at last.

be careful there, that was nearly a complement.


What you have to realise, whether you like it or not (and I understand you defending your fans) is that if the perception of the visiting fans is that they feel intimidated, then that perception is real. As I said I have sat amongs fans from every single team in all leagues and never felt as intimidated as sat in the stand there. But I do not let it put me off, I will be there for our next game. But what Featherstone fans have to realise is that they are doing their own club a dis-service as visiting fans dwindle it only hurts Featherstone in the bank account.

W@nky w@nky halifax chant is sang by every opposing team

Really? I didn't hear one such chant by the few thousand Bradford fans last week ... and to be honest, I haven't heard ANY opposing supporters chant this obscene slur other than Fev fans. (Other than those wire fans many many years ago). Let's face it, we wouldn't be having this "discussion" if there was no trouble at "t' Fev Mill".

Here's the crux of it- people have been offended/abused not just today, not just from Halifax whilst i contact with Featherstone Rovers, they have chosen to stay away- over to Featherstone to deal with lower crowds or do something about it, which is effective.

I stayed away today as a result of the attack on Dave Singer and the attitude some of your supporters about the whole situation. Not because of our poor form, I will attend the other games this season, just not Featherstone away, winning or not. My Mum did attend and got verbally abused 3 times- she wasn't too bothered just found it pathetic. But it may make her think about going back to Post Office road in the future.

No.

All clubs don't have mindless idiots like the ones who attacked Dave. Clubs don't have fans that put other men into life threatening comas.

I reported an incident after the game and was told by the steward to 'stop trying to stir things up'.

Pathetic. Featherstone is an utter dogsh1t dive of a place and I will never be going there again.

Keep sticking your heads in the sand ey boys!

Which is the most important point in all of this.

You were doing so well, then showed your true colours and bitterness

Well as a good rovers fan I am going to try and help you all out here and give you some valuable advice. Do not visit our capital city, cos I have heard there are a lot of stabbings, you also might want to stop crossing the road or driving a car as this too may be dangerous.

Re: Fev 30 Fax 18, full time : Sun May 15, 2011 6:04 pm  

Anyway, back to the game.

My thoughts are that we lost this in the first half, where we just continually looked for penalties, most players were asking for penalties on every tackle and then getting frustrated when they werent given.

Our first half defence was pretty much as it has been for many a game, where we just missed tackle after tackle.

The highlight was Paul White going the length of the field and the low light was Paul White going into touch 5 meters from our own line, giving Featherstone possession to take the game away from us.

Whilst Danny Jones didnt really do anything wrong at full back, he didnt really make many return yards each time he took the ball.

All in all it was brighter than recent weeks and gives Calland and Noble plenty to work with.

Onwards and upwards...

I seriously don't understand you.

There have been incidents at a number of your games and yet you keep rolling out the old 'bitterness' garbage.

Fans are not coming to your games as they are concerned about your increasingly aggressive support. This is FACT. You cannot argue with this and you should not be proud.
