Featherstone chief executive Simon Riley said: "We have some mobile phone footage which we are reviewing to identify individuals.

"We also have a number of names of the people who started the trouble. These people are not true supporters of Featherstone Rovers and will therefore be banned.

result then!

As we left the ground, we drove along Post Office Rd, the trouble started as many people in dark blue shirts were chasing people in lighter blue shirts.
At the same time many people who had obviously not been to the game were walking towards the ground hurling insults at us.
As one fan in a dark blue shirt shouted at us "Get out and i'll rip your fu**ing head off" I wound down the window and asked the policeman standing next to him what he was going to do? He just ignored me.
At that time I said to the rest of us in the car, "I have a horrible feeling that the only people who will be arrested will be the one's in the lighter blue shirts"
Turning left at the end of Post Office Rd, we were spat at by a fan in a dark blue shirt. He then walked past us turned round and spat at us again.
Obviously myself my two sons and my grandson (6 years old) leaving a game were great threats and sitting in the car waiting to get out was extremely provocative.
I agree, we should not point the blame, and that's why I haven't said whether it was Featherstone fans threatening to rip our f**cking heads off or whether it was Featherstone fans who spat at us.
All I can is that they were wearing dark blue shirts, o'h with a "pirate" on the chest.

maybe it was c*s fans in their away strip

no... we can spell Cas..

No he wasn't and if you can't see that then you are as stupid as he is. Let me remind you what he put

Now, I'm not saying that 2 fax fans weren't in a cop car but how the fook does gingminge know that THE ONLY PEOPLE arrested were fax fans? Is he Xavier from X-Men or just a frustrated Fev fan clutching at straws? It's his daft statement that I pulled him up on, especially when he put that fave forum word in - FACT. His statement wasn't a fact was it?

That's all.

OK where do I start? Entering the field of play after the final whistle is trespass, and the civil part of trespass not an arrestable offense, you can be charged what the owners deem fit, ie a fine but not arrested for just entering the field. The fact that gingdong's posts annoy me made me check, you can not see who is in a police van just shadows. Just because you are in a police vehicle dose not mean you have been arrested, you could be in the vehicle for your protection.

Whilest I was at the game I did witness the group of 30ish supporters that had got themselves wound up in the stand make a beeline over to the Halifax supporters and they were angry. I have to ask why would they go over their if they were not looking to start trouble and why didn't the ground staff spot this and try and prevent it. they could have brought the police into the ground.

facts

fev against halifax grand final fax fan almost killed
fev against leigh post office road trouble leigh coaches escorted from ground by police
fev against Barrow trouble during and after game
fev against halifax nrc semi trouble after game polic on hand

and the common denominator is??????

went to watch fax under 23s at fev this year despite the small crowd I was threatened by fev fans at the end, presumnably cos our under 23s won the game in the very last minute

and thats no to mention but i will the number of pubs at warrington who refused fev "fans"admission to their pubs on grand final day but let fax fans in

that at the health and safety meeting prior to GF police who said they had prior knowledge of fev fans in warrington decided to have police dogs on hand "as they'd probably be needed"

I too have persuaded most of my family to support the team i love but now two of the younger members refuse to come if feathrstone are playing, as at the shay this season they were reduced to tears by the fev fans in the east stand. . this is the next generation of supporters who are being frightned off by a mindless few, although there seemed to be more than a few at the shay!!

i too will never ever go to post office road again it just not worth it there may only be a few of the hooligans in their crowd but they are tolerated by the rest. . if fev want of get rid of the hooligans its not just the officials who need to move them on. . . those on here who say they are fev fans also need to help identify them and make sure they know they are not welcome. whatever the protests from fev fans on here David Singer was beaten almost to death and still no one has been arrested. . having got away with that why should those involved be scared of being shopped

First bit of footage. Go on youtube and put in "rugby fans fight". Not much to see apart from a couple of Fev fans been aggressive, one with his kids, 1 Fax fan been taken away by cops and just general chaos not seen at rugby matches. Sounds like the recorder got a good view of a lot of the fans fighting.

I don't disagree with any of the above. You are most correct and even the most tunnel visioned fev fan/club employee can see that. But I've read your whole post and nowhere in it do I see any examination of fans of your own club.

Additional facts:- Fax fans DID enter the field of play, - yes I know it's not the Brinxx Matt Bullion Job but some of those fax were giving inciting gestures towards fev fans (I can just imaginge the reaction from Fax fans if the scores were reversed). - this is on film.

Fax players DID give inciting gestures towards Fev fans - this is on film and the RFL are considering action.

A 24 years Fax man has been arrested for assaulting an officer - no presumption of guilt here, a court will do that but even a 1st offence is likely to result in a stretch if found guilty.

A minority of Fax fans WERE abusive well beyond what is caused reasonable banter. I know that for a FACT - It happened to both myself and a good mate - and I have never hurt or abused anyone!!

Again I'm not blind, I know where the overwhelming problem lies Adam - but a bit of balance eh?

I accept that Fax's problem is not as severe, but I know from my own personal experience on Thursday of the provocative nature of abuse aimed at myself, plus what I have seen/heard personally and on film, that issues need addressing at Fax too!
The game needs ridding of all the sheeite, not just those at Fev - tho again I accept we have the far greater task ahead of us!
