Quote: "A HALIFAX rugby fan is in hospital after a violent attack following last night's game.

The 32-year-old suffered a serious head injury and underwent emergency surgery last night.

He was returning to his coach from the Halliwell Jones stadium in Warrington when he was assaulted.

Cheshire detectives are urging anyone who has information that could help their investigation to call them 0845 458 0000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'"

I sincerely hope the injured guy makes a full recovery. I attend nearly all international and Grand finals, but i had no intrbtion of attending yesterday. My family and i will never attend any match involving Featherstone Rovers due to incidents at both Post Office road and Headingley in the past. The animosity to other fans is beyond belief.

Quote: Leyther Nutter "Hope the lads ok. We were in the wetherspoons where a lot of so called fev fans were and they were quite intimidating. I believe the police were called shortly after we left. One thing we did notice was a lot were not wearing fev colours just the flat caps. Trouble makers on a day out rather than true fans?'"



Yes we were in Spoons a group of about 15 Fax fans enjoying a laugh and a few drinks when suddenly we were mobbed by the so called 'Fev fans' who were very intimidating the police were soon there and on the door we left the pub and moved on but it was the same everywhere we went I'm all up for a bit of banter and last year we had that with the Barrow fans that is what our wonderful game is about and this behaviour needs to be stamped out we don't need it ruining our game!!............ We too noted that most of them just had the flat caps on and no shirts definitely just out for trouble................ Hope the fan is going to be OK

I am a Fev Fan and would like to reply to some of the posts on this thread.

1 First of all let me wish the gentleman a full and speedy recovery.
2 I hope the thugs are arrested, charged and locked away for a long time.
3 I hope they are banned for life from ALL rugby grounds and have ther faces plastered on turnstiles, forums,club sites and local newspapers.
4 I hope that if any Fev fan knows who was involved they come forward and give the info to the police.I saw some trouble makers and can honestly say i've not seen them at Fev all season and you do tend to recognise faces of regulars, these weren't.

I know that feelings are running high but please don't label all Fev fans as scum, we're not and frankly it is unhelpful. I won't deny we have some fans who misbehave but generally the ones who attend regularly are decent fans and are not only suffering because of yesterday's result but also incidents like this.Believe me our fans (those who don't just crawl out of the woodwork for finals) are disgusted with the behaviour of our so called supporters and I personally wish they didn't attend.

The stewards and police need to ask themselves some serious questions.
Why didn't they move the Fax fans on the pitch towards the North stand where the Fax fans were seated rather than let them line up near the Fev fans.
I am not making excuses for our supporters but some Fax fans were goading our supporters and the situation could easily have got out of hand.
Why was there no police presence in the coach area when the police knew that there were incidents taking place outside the ground.I hope they learn a lesson because this could have been prevented.

I hope that the clubs can rebuild relations and it is going to take the decent supporters of both clubs to do this by joining together, condeming the thugs, identifying them if we can and when we visit each others grounds try to join forces to stamp out bad behaviour.

Enjoy the victory as we did our league leaders title and I hope next season we can start to build bridges because I bear no grudge against honest decent rugby supporters regardless of who they support.

Phil

First of all my I say how sorry I am for the man who was attacked in Warrington yesterday, and hope he recovers soon.

My daughter and I attend this finals day every year, and have always enjoyed the day, last year I felt uncomfortable in the final game and asked to be moved out of the South Stand into the East Stand. This year, from the end of the second game when the Featherstone fans started to pile into the South Stand it was obvious to us as neutrals and sober that there was a chance of trouble. Although the people close to us were ok there were many fans the worse for drink. One man with a beard was continually being asked to move of the stairway (this is a health and safety issue) refused to do so. You wonder while stewards become frustrated. We left at half time.

I think it is unfair to blame the HJ or Warrington Wolves for what happened. But yes if this is what the finals day brings to my town and my club I agree please go elseware.

On a final note well done to Warrington Wizards, York City Nights and Halifax.
Yes we have idiots as well. We don't want them in our game either.

A Warrington Wolves Fan (A Lady in her late 60's )A passionate Rugby League Supporter.

Its all well and good a decent fan putting something like this on, However the damage is already done, and from what i am reading on the TotalRFL site it is not uncommon when featherstone lose for this to happen.

I for one will never visit your stadium again or put money into your gates, shared or not.

People forget that we were in the Grand final with Barrow last year, There was no problems and fans interacted between each other without and underlying agenda. It clearly is a issue that you have with your town and local supporters as when you travel they dont seem to be that bad.

Quote: wereutherein1987? "Fev fans were a disgrace yesterday.

Every confrontation was brought down to a scummy level involving swearing or violence, suprising how a little village near Castleford can bread so much SCUM!

Anyway the result was right and hopefully their conduct was seen by all and any SL dreams for them died along with their 2010 campaign.'"

sorry but some fans have idiots. But you lot only have some decent fans. There are 2 clubs who always have the same issue. Fev and Hull FC. Speak with any fan of a club and they always highlight these clubs. This year has been been the best visits I have had to Fev for along time but as people have said this is because we lost. I have just about had enough with Fev, it has been the same since I started watching the game in the 80's. Scum 80% of them. Feel sorry for the minority that are good fans.

Well get onto your club and see what they are going to do about it! There were large numbers of fans out on the lash, only interested in singing about how much they hate cas ect, would probably have had a fight with each other if they couldnt find anyone else to fight, probably tagging on to the club as its a final but ultimately they were representing the village of Fev, many Warrington Locals in the town centre didnt have very much good to say about the fev people because of their behaviour around the town,

Quite a Few Fev People painted a picture of themselves yesterday in warrington, and it wasnt a good one, and people will generalise a view on all the fans because of these "few" (id say many)

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3245.jpg



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.

I must admit I am appalled at what has happened to that lad. I was in the South stand and I saw quite a few lads who looked out of control. It is a sad fact that when some people get drunk they become nasty violent and abusive and lose all reason.

A sad reflection on a few peoples inappropriate behaviour. Had I witnessed the assault I would definately give the police a description of these thugs and if you know someone who saw it make sure they ring the number given on this thread.

Have just read Marrillion mans post after I posted mine.

Big shame something like this happened after such a great final. Hope the lads alright. Saw him after game in car park and it did look bad.

There were still quite a Fev fans around trying to cause problems after it had happened, and even 'celebrity' Fax fan Alan Carr got punched.

For balance though, I have to mention that there were Fev fans around trying to help the guy and seeming apologetic and concerned for what had happened.

Shame it's going to put so many off going to Fev in future really
