Spot on.

And you lost ...... not a good day all round eh ?

Apart from the moaners and crap stirrers

Trouble is, when "other club supporters" is pretty much everyone who visits your place it is your club who is missing out because you are gaining a reputation as the worst club to visit in the whole league and it's turning loads of people away.

It's not me who needs a plan, it is Featherstone, and if you ignore the complaints or, as happens every time some bad behaviour is reported, come on here and whinge about those complaining, your own club suffers more than anyone. Worst away experience in the league, and that's very unfortunate.

You miss my point. I have been following Halifax for 20+ years now. I have been to every single ground that there is and when I go to the away ground I ALWAYS sit with the relevant home supporters. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the nasty chanting by Featherstone fans are, without exception, the worst I have been close to, and that is even worse than the Hull fans at the Boulevard (which took some beating).

I am a grown up and I know that it goes on, but even the screeching banshee that was sat in front of me was joining in with the W@nky and the B@stard chants and SHE had a couple of 10 - 11 year old girls with her (great example).

One woman behind me, following a high tackle from us, screeched I hope you fckuing go down you bunch of morons, and she had children with her (another great example).

That said, I'll no doubt be back there for our Norther Rail Cup semi-final.....

And that is the crux of it, if they had have had owt to chant about or make comment on they would have been as " bad" as us but they didn't

Not a good season all round but I hear we was improved today just was not smart enough and if we was we would have won. Something to build on. Come on Fax onwards and upwards now.

Worse than Hull now i know your having a laugh and as for woman swearing In front of kids that I agree and I am sure the this never happens at any other club or ground, and I know it wont at yours as your ladies are just so refined, and I know this because they are on Jeremy Kyle all the time and always come across as most civilised.

I do read some garbage on here, im a fax fan and i hear both teans having banter but thats it. W@nky w@nky halifax chant is sang by every opposing team not just fev and fax have sang W@nky w@nky warrington back in the super league era. All fax fans are angels and all fev fans are yobs if you read this forum. Total utter garbage! It was a couple of mindless idiots that attacked david singer , every team has these idiots that just want to cause bother and its these individuals that need targeting. lets stop making a scapegoat out of every fev fan!

Friendly banter is all part of the game. Malicious intimidation is not. Yes, I have been going to RL games all my life and I am now 60. I do not see why people should have to feel threatened when they attend a RL match and only at Fev does this happen.

If you wish to bury your head in the sand and pretend there is no problem fair enough.

"....but instead you come on here". Why not? It is the Fax forum after all. If you can't handle a reality check, go back onto your own forum.

Thank you my point exactly, some sense at last.

Where did you stand/sit then as you were obviously very lucky?

singing an chanting at a rugby league game....whats the world coming too?........i walked with my wife an lad around the back of the fax fans with about a minute to go......never said diddly squat to anyone, it didn't stop your fans turning round to goad etc......i can take that, it dont bother me as long as theres nowt malicious or personal...i just laughed an carried on walking.....i dont usually take to getting involved in threads like this.....i like to talk about rugger....but i think until you actually have some decent rugby to watch, start winning games etc, threads like this will become the norm on your forums.....shame really.

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.

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 dog 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.

Just because he does not concur with your hypothisis "Holmes" does not make him lucky perhaps you were unlucky or maybe you are a very sensitive soul!

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.

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.

Maybe rugbyball should change his nik to rugbybollux .......

=#0000FFPOST REMOVED. Well out of order. Any more of that and you'll take a break. TS

I've been to a fax game back in the day when a fax fan ran onto the pitch to attack the ref but if you beleive everyone on here a fax fan would never do that cos we are all perfect. I have been to every game against fev since they have been back in this division and will continue to do so. Not once have i felt threatened . I didnt park in the car park for fax fans i just parked in the back street like normal and walked up with my fax colours on like usual and not one fev fan said anything out of turn. Infact the league game last year it was a fax fan who had had one too many shandys staggering about shadow boxing and goading the fev fans but like i say every club has these idiots unfortunately.
