Let me expand a little on Malc's initial thread opener.
I was in the office at the Shay on tuesday this week & was telling Malc, Mike, Sarah, Richard & Jenna how my mate from Fev who i regularly go to gigs with was telling me that our friendship could help or begin to re-build bridges between the two sets of supporters after the terrible consequences of the recent troubles at Fev v Fax games.
I'd stated to Malc initially that I'd told my mate "next time we come to Fev, I'll donate one of my collection of old Fax shirts" to the collection they have from other teams pinned up in the Blue Lagoon bar in the ground at P.O.R. Malc immediately offered to throw in a 2012 Fax home shirt, and hoped that both teams today could autograph it as part of the occassion, a truly kind & honest gesture. The hope was that it'd be handed over at the after-match presentations in the corporate lounge.
Many visiting fans to P.O.R. won't be familiar with the Blue Lagoon bar under the stand opposite the main stand, but it's run by genuine Fev fans, & as I understand it, their profits go towards the supporters away travel, which I'm sure will boost the takings at some stadiums.
Now, I know not everyone is keen on the potential love-in between Fev & Fax fans, but I have good friends at many clubs on the RL circuit, & the friends I have at Fev are as good as any others, so I'm into this.
Let's hope things improve somewhat.
