I found that sitting with my children tonight in the main stand was a very unpleasant experience. The bile, foul language and mindless chants about cas really did the featherstone club proud. Won't ever be visiting Fev again.

Added to the goons from Fax at the end of the game acting all hard and calling the Fev fans out. These people give humans a bad name. Not fans, numptys the lot of them.

You'd think it was only one club that did this Harry!!! Apply some balance and common man!

I have to agree with the game more or less won and being happy with that what do they have to sing?
W8nky Halifax.

Really good fans this lot, not.
Glad they were not in the South Stand.

It happens GFB. I know your side lost but I'll bet it looked bloody good on telly - just like a game last Autumn!!!!
I came for, and enjoyed the rugby! At any game you will hear nob eds shouting the odds and espouting crapola! It happens, but I'm not one eyed enough to think that it is only one sides fans that do it! It seldom is!

The rugby was cracking night - obviously better if you follow Fev, but I enjoyed myself! I would have liked to have met up with one or two on here, but not to be this time! maybe at our gaff eh?

yer well done on your win, you deserved it but we were awful second half.
I doubt you will see many of us at yours as the word is that we are boycotting it.

fair do's like! Each of you has a right to make that decision! Plenty of ours gave tonight a miss who would normally hve made the journey! C'est la vie!

Can't understand any fan boycotting a game. Just seems completely alien to me. Firstly, why choose to miss one of your own teams games? Secondly, why add something to fuel an increasing strain in the relationship between 2 clubs? Do we really want to get to a point of Fev vs Fax needing a ridiculous amount of extra policing every season because our fans can't manage to watch a game of rugby in a civilised manner?

I'm wi you owd cock!

Er take a look at the front page of the Courier it may remind yourself why a lot of us do not feel like we want to be with 'some' Fev fans and also put money in that clubs pockets!
I am in a large group of fans here. You go I aint stopping you, its what me and a lot of others feel like we want to do.

oh and it aint our fans that cannot watch a game in a civilised manner, its theirs!

hey if you don't want to come over owd cock - don't come over! Nobody will force you! But make that YOUR decision and let others make theirs instead of using the "what me and a lot of others" tag!

It's an individual choice. Don't want to come? Cool!

Seems to me the Courier were stirring things, there didn't look to be any enforced segregation in the ground tonight like the Courier made out there would be, was extra security on hand, but not massive, I did however see a couple of coppers under the southstand for the first time at a Rugby Game at the shay since we were in Super League probably, though don't think they hung about for too long.

A few police were present, but nothing out of the ordinary. TBF it's what you would expect.

Thought it was a good atmosphere tonight.

I have my own views thanks and yes I won't deny that is that Fax fans should boycott this match.
Why?
Well I did not enjoy the Fev fans at the GF all day long and I was not beaten up on the day because of one decent Fev fan who told me to put my flag away as 'this lot you don't want to mess with' on my way to the coach park!
But the biggest thing for me is the culprit is still out there and some Fev fans are covering up for them.

I am one of 7 [ihome and away [/iFax fans who feel this way mate. I hate missing games but sometimes your principles are worth more than a rugby match.

It was a bit OTT to be front page news I agree.
Fev asked for this segregation by the way not Halifax.

What was the alternative for the courier though? "Coffee morning in Sowerby Bridge CANCELLED" or perhaps "Man trips over own dog in Ovenden"

Crap paper anyway

Tonights Fev fans remind me of the original drunken Fax Barmy army of the late 80's - end of Thrum Hall era!

Passionate noisy fans with plenty ale in them & a fair few expletives!

Our current "Barmy (lol)" Army don't make so much noise, arent so vociferous, a prawn sandwich barmy army.

And that's fine! C'est lla vie!
I'm happy to meet any Fax fan for a natter in the bar or the lagoon and to chew over all things RL when you come to our gaff!



Love and peace man

I was disgusted with the Fav "fans" last night, they were at one point chanting "shall we start a fight for you".

This wasnt just from a few, it was the majority of them in the east stand, and all ages.

You should be appalled if your a "true" Fev fan.

"fire" griffax! shall we start a "fire" with ref to the "fire" at the gf!!! Similarly with the swan vestas chants and the "fire" shout at the fireworks!

Right or wrong?? It happens at every ground, by every set of fans and has done for years! Balance and accuracy owd cock!

You're very quick to make something that just wasn't the case. All that does is cause more unrest and ill feeling! No need. Absolutely no need!

I agree it was "start a fire". However I didnt like (nor did my 9 year old granddaughter sat with me) the song that ended "you can stick your matches up your F****ng A**e".

Yes Bob, I agree. But it has gone on since I was her age - I'm 50 now, by every set of fans at every club - incl fax!! It happens! No-one has yet found a solution in that time.

Back to last night - all I can repeat is that barring the odd exception, everyone really enjoyed themselves!

Yer appreciate your offer but the real fans like you are not the problem, its the other 50% who are giving your club a bad name, they remind me of football fans full of aggression and nasty songs treating opposing fans like 'the enemy'.
yer have a bit of fun we aint angels I admit, neither am I, but they step over the line at times not RL at all.
Soz but truth hurts.
good luck you look like you will go well again this year with that pack grrrrrrrr!

The halifax fans were just as bad. We seem to have a new brain cell trust who started chanting "you can stick your f**king flat caps up your @rse". So some fax fans are just as bad.

Oh I agree Nat. But where I was sat I didnt hear that from the fax fans, but couldnt miss the one i mentioned as it was en-mass (obviously planned).

I am not naive and I do know that I cant shield my granddaughter from language, especially taking her to rugby matches (no doubt she'll hear more at school as well

), but it was the en-mass that made it stand out so much!!

When we went to Featherstone last year, we sat amongst their fans and whilst they were passionate and vocal, we didnt hear that co-ordinated nastyness, but then I guess we did pinch the title off them last season
