Aye, he's a top bloke and really knowledgeable about the game. However, the only 'word' he has heard is from Fev fans. Have you or any other Fax fans heard this 'word'?

Absolutely not. I have posted as much on their forum as well, telling them that they are all very welcome at the shay.

Have I heck !!!
I've tried to convince him but to no avail. He, like most of the Fev internet forum users don't use RLFans but prefer the other one that's popular, but i can't be bothered looking on there just prefer to dis-regard the rumours.
I have however witnessed problems at both the Shay & at Fev when our teams meet, and over recent seasons there have been problems with Fax & Leigh fans, all of which I'd say, rather small scale, but there nevertheless.

| Every time ive gone to Fev over the years there has been abuse hurled at us as Halifax fans. Fortunately it is by a minority. Much in the same way i suppose that we have our own idiots. I feel very bitter about what happened to the Fax fan on GF day and i hope that it was just an isolated incident by a few rougue GF day plastics. However, i will not attend any more games at Post office road as i now fear for our safety and this feeling is clearly reciprocated by genuine Featherstone fans. Sadly i think there is an issue and that trouble might well occur both home and away. Now is the time for the clubs to get their heads together in an official capacity and look to building bridges between both sets of genuine fans. This cannot be brushed under the carpet with the hope that the situation will look after itself. I am going down to the club on Monday and i will voice my view, hopefully someone will be in a position to contact the Featherstone club and enable some form of PR press release for starters.

You have to ask, is your fear for your safety rational?
I have been to many, many games at Post Office road, and always sit amongst the Featherstone fans. Yes they are very, very vocal and yes the are very very passionate. BUT I have never once felt that mine or my party's safety is at risk.
I agree, however, if there is a perceived fear of safety then both clubs need to address this. I know that when there was an issue with Hull, a group of their fans were outside, at the boulevard, to welcome visiting fans, which was a nice touch and perhaps something that could be considered by both teams?

| I KNOW OF SOME LONGSTANDING FAX FANS THAT ARE USUALLY HOME AND AWAY SUPPORTERS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO PO ROAD...
HOWEVER I CANT SEE HOW THIS AFFECTS ANYTHING. IT WAS A MINORITY SET OF DRUNK IDIOTS THAT CAUSED THE BOTHER IN WIRE.
EVERY CLUB ON ITS DAY HAS A GROUP OF FANS LIKE THIS, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. AND ALTHOUGH WHEN ATTENDING GAMES AT FEV IN THE LAST 3-4 YEARS I HAVE SEEN SILLY BEHAIVOUR (ALL VOCAL)
IT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM ATTENDING...
I WILL BE GOING ...END

Ive never sat at Post Office road, always stood at the Fax end and swapped at half time. The abuse im refering to is usually as fans are swapping ends and we have always experienced it. Probably a minority but its there none the less.

Unfortunately it was more than a few and the consequences horrific. I will be there home and away but my kids won't be allowed anywhere near
Skircoat needs to be opened for Fev fans for this game. Any trouble in Sky and Super League hopes are finished
