Fev finished eleventh in 1994/95 and, like all the clubs below them in the league (Hull, Salford, Wakefield, Widnes, Doncaster), failed to make the cut for SL which was eventually comprised of the ten clubs above them plus Paris and London.

If you have been convincing yourself for the past 17 years that Fev were somehow singled out and plucked from a mid-table position then I'm afraid you're very wrong. No doubt they were unlucky and the process was hardly ideal, but the choice of the existing teams to go into SL was based purely on league table at the end of the 94/95 season. Featherstone were eleventh in the table and there were ten spots available.

Had that system been in place at the season start then fine but it wasnt, Rovers were evicted for Paris and promised if they failed we would be back in, the promise wasnt kept followed by Caisleys knife in the back remark

I've read some right gash on these forum's(??) in my time but this thread is absurd.
The one thing that unites this game, indeed the only reason we have the game is the supporters.
If anything unites fev fans with bulls fans or wakey for that matter, is the way we have all been let down by the people running our clubs or running our game.
For the fan of one club to berate the fans of another in difficult circumstances is very poor, i would argue if that is your view, you are not a fan of the game.
Some fans and clubs sale close to the wind, and sometimes are ready to be knocked down a peg, but this thread is a joke as IMO is the OP.

Im no fan of this corrupt game and its selfish fans. Its the most corrupt sport in the UK as will be proved when the new Bradford stay in super league

At the end of the 94 season Doncaster were liquidated and reformed in the third tier (todays equivalent being CC1). Featherstone had the chance to be in Super League by merging with Castleford, but both clubs rejected this and chose to go it alone.

Your point is?
My last word on the matter, you never know you may just merge with Halifax and be known as "the Halifax Bull Soxs"

can't blame them for that....look how the merger shafted Sheffield

Yes, but never the less they did have the chance to be in Super League as a merged team, they chose not to. End of argument.

Gingdong, leave it alone and focus on Thursday's game.
Whilst the cheap tickets at Bulls have most certainly had an effect on the Fax gate I would not want to be in their shoes. The Bulls fans who I am more than happy to give banter to at a match deserve more after the efforts they made to raise 1/2 a million quid.
What has to happen now has got to be fair to others that have been in this situation, and others who may come up against it shortly.
Not sure what the situation is if the club go under and the RFL have hold of the great white elephant.

You're not a fan of Rugby League yet you have over 400 posts on a Rugby League Internet forum?

No place for you on a forum called RLFans then eh???

we were united until, at a guess, around 1995....then it was a case of 'I'm alright jack'
