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

Ultimately it was just banter, no doubt Fax will have something prepared for the return league fixture hopefully something more than 'oh hali hali hali hali hali halifax' every now and again

Think we should be glad and applauded that banter was the worst thing that happened last night

I have to admitt I saw quite a lot of Fev fans at the top of their section usuing the 'come on then' gesture throughout the game.

However!

I was in the middle of the South Stand and could not see towards the back, so I can judge what our fans were doing...

What Fev need is a football club to attract all the morons who are just there to start trouble

They have its Leeds United

Leeds Utd chants don't constantly consist of "shooting the Castleford scum" though.

Probably the Fev & Wakie fans

Reading everything in this thread, I can't believe you're of the attitude that it's a football thing & doesn't happen in rugby.

I understand banter and enjoy it BUT for me Fev were appalling last night. They again were goading, being intimidating and aggressive full stop. They should in my humble opinion been respectful that it was a low life representing there village that caused serious injury to an innocent fan. I've stood in many rugby grounds and been subjected to "banter" but for me constantly gesticulating with a clenched fist, 2 fingered salutes and the w@nker sign constantly together with the hilarious chant of W@nki Fax summed it up. RFF if you can condone what I heard and saw as normal I must have watched rugby for the last 30 Plus years with my blinkers on! Agreed we all have elements of idiots but it was collective last night and lacked in my opinion respect for a fan and need I say a club this event badly effected. I just think Fev fans were disgusting last night and if it was my club I would have been ashamed.
