Spot on.

And you lost ...... not a good day all round eh ?

Apart from the moaners and crap stirrers

Trouble is, when "other club supporters" is pretty much everyone who visits your place it is your club who is missing out because you are gaining a reputation as the worst club to visit in the whole league and it's turning loads of people away.

It's not me who needs a plan, it is Featherstone, and if you ignore the complaints or, as happens every time some bad behaviour is reported, come on here and whinge about those complaining, your own club suffers more than anyone. Worst away experience in the league, and that's very unfortunate.

You miss my point. I have been following Halifax for 20+ years now. I have been to every single ground that there is and when I go to the away ground I ALWAYS sit with the relevant home supporters. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the nasty chanting by Featherstone fans are, without exception, the worst I have been close to, and that is even worse than the Hull fans at the Boulevard (which took some beating).

I am a grown up and I know that it goes on, but even the screeching banshee that was sat in front of me was joining in with the W@nky and the B@stard chants and SHE had a couple of 10 - 11 year old girls with her (great example).

One woman behind me, following a high tackle from us, screeched I hope you fckuing go down you bunch of morons, and she had children with her (another great example).

That said, I'll no doubt be back there for our Norther Rail Cup semi-final.....

And that is the crux of it, if they had have had owt to chant about or make comment on they would have been as " bad" as us but they didn't

Not a good season all round but I hear we was improved today just was not smart enough and if we was we would have won. Something to build on. Come on Fax onwards and upwards now.

I do read some garbage on here, im a fax fan and i hear both teans having banter but thats it. W@nky w@nky halifax chant is sang by every opposing team not just fev and fax have sang W@nky w@nky warrington back in the super league era. All fax fans are angels and all fev fans are yobs if you read this forum. Total utter garbage! It was a couple of mindless idiots that attacked david singer , every team has these idiots that just want to cause bother and its these individuals that need targeting. lets stop making a scapegoat out of every fev fan!

Friendly banter is all part of the game. Malicious intimidation is not. Yes, I have been going to RL games all my life and I am now 60. I do not see why people should have to feel threatened when they attend a RL match and only at Fev does this happen.

If you wish to bury your head in the sand and pretend there is no problem fair enough.

"....but instead you come on here". Why not? It is the Fax forum after all. If you can't handle a reality check, go back onto your own forum.

Thank you my point exactly, some sense at last.

Where did you stand/sit then as you were obviously very lucky?

singing an chanting at a rugby league game....whats the world coming too?........i walked with my wife an lad around the back of the fax fans with about a minute to go......never said diddly squat to anyone, it didn't stop your fans turning round to goad etc......i can take that, it dont bother me as long as theres nowt malicious or personal...i just laughed an carried on walking.....i dont usually take to getting involved in threads like this.....i like to talk about rugger....but i think until you actually have some decent rugby to watch, start winning games etc, threads like this will become the norm on your forums.....shame really.

be careful there, that was nearly a complement.


What you have to realise, whether you like it or not (and I understand you defending your fans) is that if the perception of the visiting fans is that they feel intimidated, then that perception is real. As I said I have sat amongs fans from every single team in all leagues and never felt as intimidated as sat in the stand there. But I do not let it put me off, I will be there for our next game. But what Featherstone fans have to realise is that they are doing their own club a dis-service as visiting fans dwindle it only hurts Featherstone in the bank account.

Really? I didn't hear one such chant by the few thousand Bradford fans last week ... and to be honest, I haven't heard ANY opposing supporters chant this obscene slur other than Fev fans. (Other than those wire fans many many years ago). Let's face it, we wouldn't be having this "discussion" if there was no trouble at "t' Fev Mill".
