Rather them then us with the current state of the system and Super League...

Alternatively council owned stadiums are cheaper to run as repairs etc are covered by the council and rent is paid, therefore making it easier for financial forecasts and no hidden big expenditures for repairs down the line, also fev still have a slope which IMO is unacceptable in the current elite leagues, alternatively we could all take a deck chair down spring hall, get a burger van and bobs your uncle!!.

Cas own their stadium, Wakefield theirs, fev theirs, they all have lovely plans!!!. But so far that it!!. No way will they put fev in without taking either Cas or wakey out first!.

It's not just plans at Fev we will start the ground by the end of August and we have the money to do it Even though this will happen we will not be put in S L next season
Regarding been the best club to go in its well know that we are doing everything right that the RFL want us to do off the field and are continuing to work with them on a continuous basis to make sure that when we do apply everything is in place
The one big thing is can we afford to be in and we are told that there is a consortium ready to with the money and the RFL know about this too
Lets see what happens in the future but I'm confident that next season we will be playing you again and if I was to be asked what would happen in 2014 I would say there will be S/L 1. And S/L 2 with 12 teams in each

If you heard your coach on radio Leeds on Sunday he said Fev have set the standards in this competition for others to reach

Is that the same consortium Faisal was rumoured to have lined up for us when we applied? Didn't see him for dust when we failed with our application.

I think rhino meant the standards fev set on the pitch!


To be fair, both Fax and Fev are the stand out clubs in the championships. A tough call - better where we are being competitive and winning silverware or getting smashed and over stretching our budget in SL?

I think both clubs just need to bide their time and keep growing. I feel the RFL will need us at some point........

Ok let's see....

Stadium only fit for cattle and cows to live on - fat fellas stadium

Fans that like to riot when they lose

Can only win a final without the mighty fax joining them

A coach that wants to fight players ((classy))

No licence rewarded for super league

New plans for some crappy little stands

Hardly any fans

3 clubs, cas, wakey, Leeds within a 10 mile radius

Only won 1 title...

Now then what about mighty fax

2 grand finals 2 NRC finals 2 titles

Stadium fit so sl with a grade c licence

Fans over over an average of 2k a week and easily outnumber any other fans at grand finals

We aren't sore losers

We have ran a profit of 20k with no money injection from a sugar daddy

World class and super league proven legend of a coach

A ground that is fit for a premiership game let alone a super league game

World cup games staged there

Brilliant youth set up

Bradford go Halifax we are right next door it makes common sense to give us the bite of the cherry.

The image on the website of the players with their mouths zipped shut sworn to secrecy is like your fans sworn to secrecy about one of our lads who got put in a comer..

Now if you rekon fev can get in keep counting your dream coulda because you haven't got a chance you have more chance beating fax in a final than getting there and we all know that is impossible anyway.

Mighty fax in SL 2013 watch this space.

Ok let's see....

Rented stadium Stadium limiting revenue

Fans that like to riot even when they win

Can only win a grand final when burning down the stadium to give fat forwards a rest

A unprofessional sore losing coach who blames the other team for cheating

poor speculative license Awarded for super league - Now out dated - needs a new one

Dont own stadium not even a crappy one

Hardly any fans - took at least 500 less fans than fev to both previous finals

All their fans support Bradford

Not won a title since ??????????

Now then what about mighty Fev

2 x league champions, 1 grand final 1 x euro champs

Own own stadium, soon to redeveloped (august) cash Cow

Fans over over an average of 2k a week and easily outnumber any other fans at grand finals especially the very poor supported Halifax

Gracious in both victory and defeat

Don't start Fires

We have ran a profit of 20k with no money injection from a sugar daddy

World class International coach

A ground that is fit for a premiership game let alone a super league game (our ground would be allowed in premier league - they arnt snobby like SL)

World cup games will be staged at POR affer redevelopment and pitch extension

By far Best youth setup out side super league - Runners up in nines comp against SL opp


One of our fans saw what happened and gave a 10 page statement to police about incident after GF - More to it than fax fans like to believe but lets not let FACTS get in the way

Disgusting vile Fax fans like poster above keep bringing up this poor fans name and the incident as a weapon against Fev fans.

Deary me you can tell its the school holidays- little boys up way past their bedtime and dads left the computer on

Thank god you are in the minority regarding some comments posted above

As for martyn sadlers comments - think ill wait and see before getting the bunting out

I think that’s a bit harsh, I know they lost the final again against Halifax but you should forgive them.

Seriously though, apart from the ground and crowds Fev probably are ahead of us. Let them give it a whirl I say.

thing is tho u wont be running 4 of them next season if the rfl get there way,u will be a feeder club for cas or wakfield,,

with regards to the fire. I was in the corner of the other stand next to the one that was "on fire", the security person that was near me had to go and do something with regards to the fire, I am not sure what, he could have been trained at putting fires out but had to enter the stand. Later on he returned, when it had all calmed down I asked him what had gone on. his reply was "one of the ****ing catering idiots was flattening boxes and left them next to a fryer that had just been turned off and they had caught fire. The smoke is from when they used the fire extinguisher to put them out. Nothing to worry about". I did ask why the supporters had to move and it was because the fire chief had to do a full inspection of the stand before supporters could return so it meant the game could restart quicker if the fans moved stands.

It always bugs me when people say Halifax set the stand on fire when I was told this directly after the event had happened.

Shame you will have to give this all up to become a SL feeder club next year if the RFL go ahead with their changes.
Remember on the field counts for very little when Fat Controller and his crew sit down and decide who is in or out of SL.
Fev are a well run club but face the facts you are too small to compete and will never get big enough crowds plus even with the new stands POR is not in the same league as 80% of SL grounds plus the Shay and LSV.
