Fev 34
Fax 18

Att 3500

We make too many simple defensive errors to keep Fev out and they are experts at slowing the game down and spoiling our play. Ultimately I think it comes down to which coach is the smarter. Each time we have played Fev this year their game plan has been better executed than ours - we end up playing their game rather than our own.

Having said that I reckon we could turn them over in the final

Last years crowd at Fax in the play off was reported as only 100 mmore than the league game!!!!!







Now I am not and never will try and explain 'rovers' posts. He's a big boy and can do that himself if he can be @rsed! But I'm kind of guessing that his predicted published crowd of 1600 may have some roots in his (and mine tbh) scepticism of fax's published crowd last year! - but again, I could be talking abject bol_lox!!
One fax poster suggested that they had 'home advantage' and as such fax reported the gate - with the inference on 'the home crowd gets the perks'!!!

Are we debating last year's play-off crowd here between Fax and Fev?

For what it's worth I thought I was announced wrongly simply because it seemed as busy in our stand and the Skircoat seated area as usual (i.e 2,200 odd) but then there was 600 odd Fev fans in the other stand. It did seem as though they forgot to add the Away stand on last year. Sinister? Maybe/Maybe not. Natural in Rugby League? Definitely.

I'd be suprised if Fax didn't take in the region of 1,000 to Fev though. 800 standing and 200 sat somewhere.

This man will lead us to a Grand Final victory.

we'll see!!!

Fev 28

Fax 30

Att: 2,000

Man of the match: Branno

I will be one of those Fax fans out-numbering the Fev supporters at the "fat " stadium

by at least 2:1!!

No, that will be at the Grand Final

matters not - neither of our clubs gets a divvy up from the GF gate receipts!!!!

Big support at GF is much more significant than just gate receipts

aye and of course you are correct! Knowing Fev, they'll be about as many non-regulars there as regulars - should we of course make it to the final!!! Fev always do this - turn out for the big one!

If, and I use "If" very hesitantly, we get to the final I would expect a massive turn out from Fev!
As it was ever thus........

I would expect Fev to get to the GF and should they do there will be a large Fev contingent. Either way we both have to get past Barrow or Sheff to be the Champoins.

no 600

Wow!!! Featherstone fans are WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After watching that clip, how can I even talk down the Fev support.

Can't believe Elton John and Sir Ian McKellen are supporters of your fine club.

Would have posted a longer message but I'm off out with the lads.... The shirt twirling can't wait any longer. It's BANTER TIME!!!

and that clip was in a gay bar!!!!



seriously tho - if fev contest the final - for some reason they come out of the cupboards for the big ones! That's always been fev's way. If we could find a way to harness that support all the time, we'd be minted!!
But come the big day, cometh the crowds! Oct 2007 NL2 final v Oldham! - 5000+ fev fans turned up that day - 3x+ the ave gates for that season!

Not wild no, actually most of the people in that clip are homosexual

Well I never!!!

Couldn't have worked that one out myself.

rovers, you need a vet!!!

Should that be 'closet'?
