I said i aint butting into these silly arguments anymore, I was actually 3 rows away from Fax Banter at the back of the sticks and gods honest truth it wasn't stewards or Fax fans, The fax fans were shouting, stood up and excited, it was the police that came over aggresive to those fans ( about 6 or 7 with a flag ) told them to sit down etc, the fans carried on singing and shouting, ignored the police, so the police grabbed them and took a few of them out, the rest then sat down.

Now that incident was nothing to do with 2 clubs, just halifax fans, that could have been at any other ground at any other day, They should have done as they were asked and sat down but to be fair to them they were only young and not one of them raised their fists in anger, they did say a few expletives when being removed but that was as far as it went.

I reckon Fax fans should stay away on thursday, Fev are going to win this match comfortably!

So you don't need the revenue?

Without us you wouldn't have 1200.

John, if that's how it is, that's how it is. I'll enjoy the game if there's 1200 or 6000 there.
I'm taking nowt for granted - been there, done that afoore!

This is getting farcical.

Enough of the finger pointing and climbing on high horses, and get back on topic. If it keeps on as it is, I will lock this thread.


I'm not going, although I would dearly love to. I'd love to go support my team, but I can't afford to go and I have something else to attend to. It'd be great to catch up with some old friends who are Featherstone fans and have a bit of banter, but, sadly it ain't to be. To all those going from both clubs; hope the game is a good one and the players and fans do each other proud.

agreed!

There are plenty of good folk over at Fev and yes there are a tiny bunch of idiots who have left a terrible taste in all Fax fans mouths. Fev fans you will never realise the hurt until you see Dave and his struggles - when he attended the Sheffield game I will happily say I nearly cried! The guy is trying so hard but it does give a horrible feeling about Fev

It makes you feel better I had a "fellow" fax fan threaten to smack me, my wife (pregnant at the time) and a friend in the second half - he was doing his best to dodge the stewards. He is now known the Shay security.

I am not going as away games aren't fun with a little baby especially midweek games!

Grow up, it's a discussion that is on topic.

A lot of valid points.

?
Your point.

i will be attending fev on thursday, and im looking forward to it.

what happened at the final with Dave was aweful, and i too was in that car park minutes after the attack, a very intimidating place that evening!

but we support Rugby League! Jesus, the majority of RL have been attending away matches for years and years, and i would imagine very rarely have seen nothing but well behaived supporters!

it was a final, two sets of fans oiled up, neither have won a trophy for years, emotions running high. This is no excuse for violence or anti-social behaivour, but im sure both sets of fans were not 'perfectly behaived'.

some posters on here need to grow up, stop bickering, and remember why RL is respected worldwide for the excitement and its 'Proper Fans!'

if you dont want to go thursday, dont go, simples, i respect your desicion.

i will be there, in blue and white, hopefully having a few beers in the supporters bar upstairs, and singin my heart out for the team i love!

ppeople are getting far too distracted by off field 'problems' and seem to be forgetting this is a semi final, they dont tend to come around too often!!!!!

Me off my soap box, and ironing my Fax shirt for thursday!

oh yeah i forgot....

COME ON FAX!!!!!!!!!!

I won't take my car to Fev but I am going on the coach.

It's the first time I've decided not to drive and, although I know it will probably be OK, I'm not risking anyone targetting my car.

It would be good if we can build some bridges but respect is earned, it's not a given.

P.s. thank you to the wonderful Neil Arber for ringing to say I have the last place on the coach.
