I really object to this comment. I attended the game with a pal of mine. We had a pint in the Top House and a pint in the club bar. We watched the game and cheered for Fev. We did not get involved in any fighting, goading, or any other activity likely to cause a breach of the peace. And yet we are all classed as scum!

All clubs have a minority of fans hell bent in causing trouble. As you said , numerous fans from BOTH clubs could or should have been thrown out. Does that make Bulls fans scum as well? Clearly the vast majority of Bulls fans are well behaved and a credit to their club just as the vast majority of Fev fans are!

Well at least they are young up and coming players not established players in their mid 20s who couldn't get a game like Leeds.

Chris Hankinson is 25. Although he's hardly established yet, so it's not as big a urine take as some other clubs.

It's worth pointing out that when the current DR rules were brought in in 2013, Featherstone were one of four Championship clubs who were generally opposed to DR but also said that if it had to be introduced, exactly this stipulation should be implemented ie that it should only be fringe SL players who should be eligible and not seasoned SL players. The four were outvoted by the other Championship clubs.

It's now ironic that fans of some of the clubs who opposed this proposal (I don't mean Bradford as the Bulls were in SL at the time) are now sulking about DR players Fev are using.

Well, yes, but I'd guess you'd get the same 'one-eyed' reaction from most fans of all clubs - depending on how it affected [ithem[/i on a particular occasion.

I think that's exactly what it is. The majority of clubs' fans (and indeed chairmen) will always form an opinion of DR based on how it helps/hinders their own side. It'll only be a minority that take a bigger picture view.
