Quote: faxlad66 "Every time ive gone to Fev over the years there has been abuse hurled at us as Halifax fans. Fortunately it is by a minority. Much in the same way i suppose that we have our own idiots. I feel very bitter about what happened to the Fax fan on GF day and i hope that it was just an isolated incident by a few rougue GF day plastics. However, i will not attend any more games at Post office road as i now fear for our safety and this feeling is clearly reciprocated by genuine Featherstone fans. Sadly i think there is an issue and that trouble might well occur both home and away. Now is the time for the clubs to get their heads together in an official capacity and look to building bridges between both sets of genuine fans. This cannot be brushed under the carpet with the hope that the situation will look after itself. I am going down to the club on Monday and i will voice my view, hopefully someone will be in a position to contact the Featherstone club and enable some form of PR press release for starters.'"
You have to ask, is your fear for your safety rational?
I have been to many, many games at Post Office road, and always sit amongst the Featherstone fans. Yes they are very, very vocal and yes the are very very passionate. BUT I have never once felt that mine or my party's safety is at risk.
I agree, however, if there is a perceived fear of safety then both clubs need to address this. I know that when there was an issue with Hull, a group of their fans were outside, at the boulevard, to welcome visiting fans, which was a nice touch and perhaps something that could be considered by both teams?
