Your spot on about Barrow I think I was just behind you but there is a big difference between them who clearly just wanted a bit of banter and were about 14 and some of the other incidents this year.

Yes it is not big but against Fev i moved from the South stand with my 7 year old girl. That is a first for me.

Wonder if your opinion would change if you got covered by someones ale or one of your kids got hit by flying chocolate bar?

Yup....it probably would but not happened in 25 years so can't comment more than that?

Wow, surprised?? Just not seen that element. Surely your talking about 1 or 2 times though? Ypu've got to be "bad place, bad time" etc. If I'm wrong and got lucky, in all my time watching Fax then surely you can't have been so unlucky that you get trouble every week?

I've been to Fev more times than I've got fingers and whilst there is always the banter, I've never felt it's going to spill over......

Yes it is isolated but seen it a couple of times too many this year. At the Fev game at 12 0 a Fev fan was having a go and from about 4 meters away I said smile it is not worth it. He tried to come round to hit me (even with a little girl with me). If a couple of Fax fans did not jump in I don't know what would have happened. So banking on him being an idiot I did the only thing I could and covered my little girls eyes and left the stand.

Do I want that on Thursday...no. That is why I want them in the North stand. How bad is when you want Widnes to win just because you think you will be safer?

Your a family man, how would you feel?

If anyone does have anxiety over any problems in the South Stand, then maybe its best to take a seat in the stand or move away from the boisterous element, we know where they will be, just be pro-active and get on with it

I don't know Jacko....in 25 years I've not experienced that. My Wife spent 5 or 6 years with me at Thrum Hall/Shay and my son has done 3 seasons now at 4 years old. I've never once felt the need to cover their ears or eyes. We stand in the South Stand and at away games head straight fo the middle of sticks as you'll see us on Sky+ at Barrow. Not like we hang around by the directors box with comfy cushions. This whole thread is rediculous

Yes and that is what I did. But SHOULD I HAVE TO DO IT !!!!!

Open the other stand by which ever people can make the decision then the fans don't lose out again !! Why can't they be proactive???

I know I am 99% sure I know who you are. What was worse for me that day is I finally got the wife to go to a game, like all the threads say...get as many to go as you can. She is a big Wednesday fan and said she had not seen anything like that a football game.

How does that make me feel? Plus on another note I remember someone posting on here that they heard a Fev fan complaining about the treatment they got from a couple of Fax fans that day (if you can call them that). Their apparent response was I can't do anything about it tonight as I have the kids but the next time we play you we will leave the kids at home and bring some people with us to sort you out.

Well guess what, the next time will be Thursday night.

One of my best mates is a Wed fan. Surely she's not been to a Pig Derby then if the worst she's seen at a sporting day out is some 16 year old chavs puffing their chests out?



Do you really think they'll be stood in the same spot? They'll be wiping their bums clean. Maybe I'm an optimist? I love my rugby league and enjoy a good laugh. I'll never let anyone spoil my day out at Thrum Hall....oops....The Shay!!

Jacko, suggest you stand with orig fax fan, then if any bother starts he'll just knock 'em out

No trouble where I stand.

I'll be in South Stand Bar around 18:30 on Thurs for a few beers and up in the stand for about 19:34. Come and find me and I'll buy you a beer and help you to cheer on the Fax

Yeah, I agree, think I will borrow his blinkers or tunnel vision specs that he must wear that we don't have.







what you say originalfaxfan?

No little one with me on Friday so I will not be moving on Thursday come what may. Will move to the back of the South, none of them will be round there anyway.

Might just do that, think I will be out with Rossfax, simsy and Alan Carr though.

Good....see you there to cheer on the boys in blue



I'll have my boy with me and I aren't moving either

Oh come on! Ill admit ive only been back watching Fev for the past 3 seasons (having fallen out with the sport for a short while) but in that time ive seen no trouble in that time home or away. Obviously you will get a few tools who are tanked up on ale, but it isnt a group mentality. I'll be there on Thursday with family members and tbh im expecting banter, in fact if there isnt any banter i'll be dssapointed.
I honestly think you're all blowing this out of proportion, i have only ever had good experiences at rugby grounds win or lose. You're more likely to encounter trouble on the streets of fax(or Fev) than you are inside the Shay, Stop moaning and start concentrating on what will hopefully be a great game!

Fev

Please No - the club have to insist that the North Stand is opened, who is saying it will not be open and why?
Stadium manager please reply its your responsibility as much as Halifax RLFCs, in fact suuely it is entirely your responsibility so come on tell us?

You been serious?

....explain? Don't understand your question? If I've read it right then I'd agree that its a question that the Stadium Mgt need to answer

Surely you have to have a minimum number of away support to make it financially viable? Anyway, if someone starts getting giddy, go tell a steward and move away!

It would save a lot of time and debate if posters on here posted the truth or waited for the club to come out with news rather than keep posting Rumours!! see my previous posts.


THE NORTH STAND WILL BE OPEN ON THURSDAY
