Just gotta hope it's in the Championship and not the division below. Need to start getting a win on the board, Sheffield 5 from 6 though.

It won't be the division below. The RFL are fannying about with the league's again. Embarrassingly - we'll do a Leigh if we finish in the relegation spot.

Week in, week out - this is hard to stomach. It's like 2003 all over again.

And we needed dewsbury to get a draw like we need a second a**e hole to be honest

I think some are getting a bit carried away. Hardest fixture of the season today, will take a bonus point. Some winable games coming up if you look at the fixture list

sounds like it was an improvement defensively and thats all i really wanted this week.

much better today i thought, it was there for the winning we just lost our composure. with the fixtures we have left im still confident we will make the playoffs. we still have hunslet batley twice, 10 wins from the last 13 should be enough!! sounds alot but i think we can do it!!!

COME ON FAX

10 wins from 13, ill have a pint of what your on mate.

..... and it will only get worse. I considered not going today but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I now regret this as we were treated to continual intimidation by numerous groups of supporters, including women, around the ground. I certainly will not be going again and I heard at least 20 people saying the same thing to stewards as they were leaving the ground.

I go to watch Rugby League, not to be on edge throughout the game waiting for an eruption of violence!

Everyone going to Featherstone this year has been saying the same. There's only so many reports you can read before you realise it's not just a minority of idiots its a massive problem for them. Whether they are fans of the club or not they have to do something about it and they've so far failed.

They will tell you that the reduced travelling support is down to our recent poor form, which is tosh. The place has more than its fair share of idiots and they are not prepared to do anything about it....thus far!

And you did what about this? did you report it, get a picture, phone the police. And can you clarify what you mean bye intimidation? Cos I find it hare to believe you truly felt intimidated by groups of woman!

Here is my slant I reckon your upset because you lost again and thought you would stir the pot! I sat amongst a group of Halifax fans in the family stand who were very gracious in defeat and chatted with us through out, I suggest they would pain a different picture to yourself. The internet is great for making all sorts of claims you can not back up. And to be honest I think its about time this board was moderated as people seem to be able to make totally unsubstantiated claims at will.

what an absolute load of crap. Who is going to submit a picture of one thousand horrible fev raised weirdos to the police? What would that achieve? Horrible deprived place which probably brings about such ugly behavior.

My take on this, from sitting in the main stand, is that it IS very intimidating, and the large group, around the drummer, who continually sang "w@nky w@nky" and "cheating B@stard" throughout the game was watched by a female steward, who looked around 60 years old. What on earth was she going to do but just stand and watch them????

Ok Chris what should they do? what is your plan? take the report on here today did fax machine seek out the police in attendance and insist they dealt with the issue? if not then he is failing to report a crime, its easy to say Fev are not doing anything, but do you honestly think they want these issues? of course not.

It seems easy for other clubs supporters to blow every issue out of proportion or some supporters cos most of the ones i see at games seem to encounter no bother what so ever, and appear to be enjoying things without being on edge.

Just one look at a woman from fev is intimidating believe me!

FFS, littledik, stop crying. You're like a big girl. Sign of a good supporter is to take the crap like a man. We'll make the play offs no problem. All this talk of relegation is nonsense. I'll no doubt have to dig this thread up come September saying "I told you so" (like so many other threads proving me right).

So what you are tying to say is its the chanting you find intimidating, the same chanting that has gone on for years at all clubs. Your right about the 60 year old lady, but then what would 20 blokes be able to do?

I am not condoning any violence or even the swearing, but come on if you really find chanting intimidating then you should probably go watch snooker!

I am not changing my view that nothing of any substance went on today infact both sets of fans were a credit in general and I think its churlish to try and suggest the chanting was some sort of real problem. Like I said in my last post I was sat with a group of Halifax fans in the family stand and I would hope at least on of them may come on here and give some balance to this kick fevathon!

We reported it to the stewards. The result was totally irrelevant as I am not talking about the actual game. I am not talking about being intimidated by "a group of women". The way it works is that a woman in a group of men makes an insulting comment hoping to get a reaction, at which point her menfolk have an excuse to leap to her defense (often violently).

Sitting in the stand you are isolated from this as you can only judge by the people in the immediate vicinity. When you stand on the terracing and change ends at half-time you come into contact with far more people. Case in point, there were a group of 3 Fev fans stood in front of us, even though their team were playing the other way. They made comments thoughout the game waiting for a reaction and even changed ends at half-time. These people may be a "minority" but at Featherstone they are an extremely significant minority.

As Chris Dalton said previously, similar reports have come from a number of clubs now so there is definitely a problem. If you choose to ignore it then so be it.

If we had another ar$ehole maybe we'd get rid of the e this season.

Spanishbob, Fev fans have been a bunch of animals for as long as I can remember. They were a disgrace when they came to our place this season. The older ones amongst us will also remember their obscene chanting through a minutes silence at Thrum Hall following the Sowerby Bridge incident. And I also remember how they reacted when Dave Watson was decapitated by Andy Fisher. Fev fans are only second to Hull in the "RL Thug fans league of shame".

Whether there is an issue or not an attendance of 1337 tells you everything you need to know. People will/have stopped going to fev.

Don't be absurd. Making comments aimed at getting a reaction is not a crime. It only becomes one after the reaction has become violent. I would prefer not to stick around for this. What I am saying is we were made to feel extremely uneasy throughout the game which is a feeling I have never had before and do not intend to experience again.

So did anyone take offence and wade in and smack you then or is this all hypothesis. have you been to many rugby matches before? cos wise cracks and wind ups is often on the menu from other supporters.

Why did you not insist action was taken? Why not mover a few feet a way from the trouble some 3? why come on here spouting off about a non event? You had the power in your hands to change behaviour, you could have sort out a director, found one of the police officers at the game, asked another steward.... but instead you come on here.

Exactly no crime committed, that's my point your scraping the barrel, Just move if you don't like the comments, its like when your on a double decker bus with a nutter, you move downstairs problem solved?

Ps I did notice one Halifax nutter, carrying on all afternoon swearing and making necessary comments and generally acting a prat and making a nuisance of himself........ Penky
