Suggy, you and I have been saying for ages now what it's like, "IF" someone goes to a game looking acting daft or looking for bother, they might have to look hard for it at some places but regrettably Fev is the kind of place whenre if you look for it, your going to find it easy enough.


And there lies part of the problem Lynda and I've seen it from all sets of fans. Popped up, disinhibited and because of alcohol the capacity to make appropriate judgement is severely effected.

Both clubs sets of fans have some answers to provide from Sunday. I try to be objective and you know I have always had a soft spot for Leigh. But the usual course of action after something like this is :- each sets of fans blame each other = nowt gets done! Ball ache!!

I enjoyed craic with Steve, Matt etc at games, and I even go to the odd Leigh game as a bloody neutral!!!
I really hope that cos of some fans (both clubs) inability to behave or take their ale that that isn't affected!!

I'm bleedin stalled of all this sheeeite!!

All I want is a pint, craic wi mates from all clubs, watch a game, debate whether the ref was a clown, compare my belly to the opposition centre, and spend the time until the next installment in 'gloat mode' or 'revenge mode' depending on the result without fear of getting an hiding!

Somebody called me a fat ginger yorkshire 2@!!

Ginger??? I ask you!!!


Keep smiling y'all. Love and peace man!

Sorry i thought they were on your coach

I bloody wish Lynda; didn't leave Leigh until 11.35am!


Robin, the voice of reason as ever mate
Had a good craic stood with the Fev lot in the first half and would hate to lose that. Think the 'departure route' of those in the Family Stand might need to be looked at it in future though as that's where the confrontation happens with a handful of Fev 'fans' happy to see the opportunity of going through a narrow area where they can't be seen by away fans who are still facing towards the pitch.

Although I don`t necessarily agree with segregation, did n`t we do that at HP for the BIG games and at the LSV. At least it keeps the meat heads( both sets), who should only be allowed shandy ,away from the rest of humanity.

WALK AWAY

That was the 1st thing I said when the trouble started ,all those Fev fans should have been directed to the opposite end to go off with their fans behind sticks ,it was asking for trouble really as they seemed quite" upset ",thats putting it mildly with the ref so the Leigh lot cheering and whooping wouldn't have gone down very well ,they should have been able to take it mind you, we are all adults ,I delighted in cheering at the end and directed it at a Fev fan who had been jubilant through the match and let us know about it too so, I gave it back with extra but, with a smile on my face ,he said he would see us in Blackpool which is a tad presumptuous as we both have to get there !

I think some were a bit upset that they had ale thrown over them, never have understood that me, its too expensive to throw away

tightwad! Did you buy steve that pint????? As yet, I have no confirmation that you have bought any bug_ger a pint!!!

I have suggested in the past that there are two kinds of ' chants/songs' , there are the positive singing about you own club/team/players , and the negative , usually suggesting the opposition fans are inbred/like animals in an unnatural way/Nick anything not bolted down , or that you generally ' hate ' them , personally the only hate chant that is acceptable is W1g4n , as everybody sings that one

I don't like the use of the negative stuff although some of it can be humurous and is almost compulsory depending on who you are playing

However once the actual match is over continuing to chant can quite often antagonise , I much prefer that time to moan/commiserate with the opposition fans with a smile and a handshake , add probably too much beer into the equation and an emotionally charged ending to the match and we see the results

And yes Robin , he did get me a beer , he said you owed him one as well ,

I think the game meant a lot more with coming from behind and getting the draw when the lads had played such a hard game on the Friday ,not many expected such a close game ,I thought they were going to run away with it when it was 28 16 ,so I think it all added to the excitement and emotions were probably right up there

They only place my beer is going is straight down my throat ,like you say too damned expensive to throw away

Its a long time since iv'e been in the middle of such an emotionally charged atmosphere as that one when the final whistle went.
It was Absolutely brilliant until the nonsense began.
