There is obviously going to be a bit of tension but I hope nobody is stupid when the two teams meet!

On the tele as well. Could kill our Super League bid stone dead

No... You have completely misread that. The game is obviously going to be one of the best of the season. And the atmosphere will be electric! I want the bid to go well as much as you guys and am hoping nothing happens to jepordise that! Don't know if it will be peacefull though judging by the events and actions of the fev fans after and before the game. And for the record it wasn't a minority of fev fans it was the majority! I witnessed several unprovoked incidents against fax fans. Think emotions will be running quite high and there will be a lot of tension.

Am I right in thinking the North Stand is completely shut?

If that is the case then the atmosphere in the South Stand could get rather tasty and the club need to get on top of it in plenty of time. Making people know that anyone who does lower themselves to the Fev thug's level (like some part time fans who mainly follow FCHT have done in the past against Widnes and Leigh) then they will be banned from Fax games indefinitely.

We don't want a repeat of what happened to Dave Singer nor anything to happen like that inside the ground in front of the TV cameras. It won't help our SL bid nor the image of Rugby League whatsoever, I hope people at the club have thought about what could happen.

Get them in the Skircoat Stand.

I agree 100% the club need to get on top of this as the 1 thing we don't want is our great clubs name being dragged through the mud. When will the North stand be sorted?

Good idea as I am worried about this one, said it before it will only take one loudmouth and things may kick off.
Thing is we have [ifew[/i hotheads and Fev have a lot of loudmouths!

that will be shut for the sky cameras.

If its a Sky game, there won't be much bother as it will be a Thursday night & most fans will have consumed little alcohol. I noticed for the Town v FC United game, properly trained door supervisors & police were deployed. The police were filming the fans on their camcorders throughout the game.

A small police presence in the South Stand with Camcorders will stamp out any bother.

The police brought in the camcorders outside the Lord Rodney on GF day when it bubbled & fizzed before the scuffles started, We were made to feel like football hooligans, but if it's used to nail the real culprits then I don't mind.
My mate who goes all over the country watching Fev ( some of our posters met him on GF day ) isn't coming to the home game at the Shay because, and I quote him " word has it that there are Halifax fans looking for retribution ". I've tried to convince him that I know nothing of this sort of talk, but it saddens me to think that a friend of mine fears coming to our stadium to watch his team. He's a decent bloke who likes to take his kids to the game, he likes to have a bit of banter with opposition fans and loves his team, just like most of us do, poor state of affairs.

Bad publicity a month before the franchise decisions.The papers always like a story before decisions.

There wont be any trouble at the home game. |Its the game over there where the Fev `fans` may turn up thinking we will turn up for revenge. I have said it before and i will say it again this is a great opportunity for both clubs to get together and make a big deal about it been a family sport. How about getting someone to sponsor some t-shirts and sell that at a fiver or so. This seems a good idea and would generate publicity for both teams. Publicity of the right kind. How about a shake handathon or something where before or after the game where the talking is done on the field a shaking of hands with the opposition fans showing a sign of solidarity between the two sets of fans saying we will not tolerate thuggish behavior in our sport.

Am inclined to agree with you, or at least i hope so. They'd bring what? few hundred at most! mainly decent people, families, women, children, don't think its fair to tar them all and herd them like cattle, we also have trust that Fev have been doing work to make their unsavoury element unwelcome at their games. Hope there isn't an overreaction, am sure its not what the Singer family would want to see or be hearing about.
