It looked a very aggresive prank if that's what it was. However, you are right, it certainly wasn't a largew group of people laying into him

Yes, sadly the damage has been done and if I could undo it myself I would but we need to look forward and move on. It's a pity you won't come to Fev, I hope when the dust settles you will reconsider. Your fans produce a fantastic atmosphere when you visit and it would be a shame if you stayed away because of a tiny minority who try to ruin it for everyone else. I was at the Fev v Fax games at our ground this season and can't remember any trouble being reported but that is what has to happen, forums are okay but the club officials need to know at the time if something is amiss so they can sort it at the time.


I don't want to get into an argument about who started what but hands up, our fans were chanting as Fax fans went onto the pitch. It's a chant I find unnecessary.

I would like to see a lifetime ban for troublemakers and perhaps if these bans were advertised and fans realised that they were subject to the same treatment for misbehaving then they might think twice but sadly I doubt it.

Sadly I have heard different and David is not in a good way and has 2 blood clots on his brain.David is one of the nicest blokes you could meet and would not hurt a fly. Just hope he gets over this.
Quote: marillion man "I've just received a 'phone call from a good mate of mine who takes his family to 'Fax games who reads this messageboard, but doesn't post comments.
He's alarmed at the content of this particular topic and asked me if I'd make some of the facts known on here, rather than people speculate as to what happened.
He, his wife and two teenage kids were eye witnesses to the incident and have given a witness statement to the police, it was he who called the ambulance. He said that someone jumped on the injured man's back and he fell to the ground banging his head in the process and was put into the recovery position by ny mate's wife until the medics arrived.
It appears that it wasn't an act of thuggery, but a prank or something like that that went badly wrong.
I'd like to thank my mate for clearing this up and asking me to post on the forum, he & his family are clearly bothered by the whole event and some of the comments attatched to this topic.'"

Don't want to generalise ALL Fev fans too much BUT I was speaking to one of the policeman when we were on the pitch (first time!!) and he told me the police presence and dog handlers were only at the final in the scale they were as Warrington had played Fev in a Challenge Cup tie (I think this season) and there had been lots of trouble in the build up and after the game. Therefore the police presence was as such only because Featherstone were in attendance.

I certainly don't remember such a presence last season or the crowd been flanked by so many stewards to prevent any trouble.

Featherstone as a club should be deeply embarrassed.

My heartfelt sympathy go out to all David and his family and hope you mate a very quick recovery mate.

THE RFL NEED TO TAKE A LEAD ON THIS, every club has a minority of idiots but Fev seem to have a majority.

I for one will be boycotting future away games to Fev until something is done about the hooligans!!!

[sizeRighto, there is understandably a lot of anger and confusion on here.

The overall message is that if anybody saw anything that may be relevant to the incident please contact the police on 0845 458 0000 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

In the interest of stopping a lot of hearsay and potentially getting stories confused as memories come back from last night I am going to lock this thread.
As Mike said, if you have any information please contact the police on 0845 458 0000 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If somebody would like to, please feel free to start a new thread for get well soon messages etc. All our thoughts are with him and his family.[/size
