Unfortunately the damage this does to fev as a club though could have disasterous consequences. The gates dropping week on week will mean personell being sold etc and a downward spiral from there.

Hope it all gets sorted as if it doesn' t and we don't get in SL, 3 more years of it isn't appealing at all.

Real Shame about the trouble, real did leave a sour taste in the mouth leaving the ground. The people involved should be ashamed to call themselves 'rugby fans', to see people surging towards the trouble is just disgraceful, hopefully the root causers of the trouble can be caught and banned.

Here, here. There's no place for violence of any sort in RL (the ref is there to sort out the hot-heads on the pitch). Any miscreants, wherever they are from, should be banned for life. Provocation, intimidation and retalitation are potential valid defences... maybe...

Tonight was a chance to put the Grand Final animosity to bed... it's failed.

Sadly(?), I chickened out of going to the match tonight, and watched it on Sky (still got injured (seriously!), when I hit the ceiling with my left hand leaping from my chair after Danny's DG!). Fact is, I'll have no qualms about going to Blackpool with my family to watch the game against Leigh/Dewsbury.

Fev, yes we've got idiots just like most clubs, but you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel... and I do accept that 90%+ of your fans will be decent law-abiding citizens who are passionate about their club.

There is a gagging order there now, the club are dealing with it. Feel sorry for their board and m Overton tonight. The game has public talking for all the right reasons. What happened on the pitch, unfortunately already the hard work and effort of both clubs players has been over shaddowed by violence.

spot on!

I think they deleted the linked thread.

Am told Fax fan has been taken to hospital with serious head injury..

I just can't believe this awful behavior.
We are all passionate about our teams, but in the end it is just a game. When we lose I just go home feeling disappointed, not looking for rival fans to fight with, like its their fault their team lost.
Time for action rfl.

Like I said the other day the proof will be 'in the eating of the pudding' and sadly we got yet more trouble at a Fev v Fax game.
I am sure there will be some who will say it was caused by us and some will say it was all down to Fev fans, what I do know is that there was a large group of Fev fans around 20 or probably more who came into the end of the ground where we were at and then it all kicked off and it was vicious.
I pleaded with both sets of fans to leave it out but it fell on deaf ears, 3 or 4 of our fans got too wound up after being hit and would not let it go. To be fair they were well outnumbered and stood their ground but they should have left it but they would not, the Fev fans I saw were lets say a 'rough looking' bunch and would not get away and out of the ground and did have a pop at some of our fans, the stewards struggled to cope and it was not pleasant.

The thing for me is WHY were those Fev fans there and why did they not just go home as it was 10 minutes or more after the game had ended. What happened to the segregation that they promised?
My guess is they wanted to 'have a go' and some of our hotheads gave some back.
Stupid and not what we want at a RL game, I do hope those who are the culprits are on film, especially those cowards who attacked one Fax fan when there were about 10 or more of them, yer he was a bit gobby but not very brave to take one on against 10 is it? if you are talking numbers then it was about 6 Fax numpties and about 30 Fev numpties who caused this for what it is worth, don't make it any better either way.
To have your coach held back for half an hour then lots of police and stewards have to watch you get away from a ground oh and then see an ambulance arrive is sad, very sad.

But the game was excellent lets remember the game please.

It is just a crying shame that this as happened. I don't know who was involved or who started it because like usual I stayed the hell away cos I have got better things to do.

All I want to say is that it was a cracking game that could have gone either way. Congaratulations and all the best for the final.

Good comments let's focus on the game, great stuff could have been anyones, glad it was ours of course, but well done fev a proper display of rugby league

I went to the game, met my good buddy Fev fan in the Top house as usual for this fixture, he was chuffed to bits to see me, introducing me to some RLFans posters at the game & in the blue lagoon at HT, nice to meet Fevgrinder & chris taylor amongst others.
Loved the game, I always felt we kept them in it with our flamboyant style of slinging the ball around, but we scored when we created and on the field, job done.
Off the field, disgraceful behaviour. Stewarding pathetic, police pathetic ( were there any present during the game ? ) but to guide the Fev fans around the back of the celebrating champions fans was disastrous. I know some Fax fans got involved 'cos I saw it with my own eyes, most of us wanted to celebrate in sporting fashion but weren't permitted to do by looking behind us & over our shoulders.
Fev Rovers have had the last money out of my pocket if they cannot accomodate us for what has now become a very volatile fixture. Grown men with flat caps pushing people over from behind & laying the boot in, absolute trash.

This past year or so has been hard on the chavs of the likes of Fev (and Hull) with the Tory cuts so they seem more obnoxious than ever. To see that Jonesy drop sail over in front of the scummers filled my heart with joy.
